Very much a let down. No one paid attention to this site until 1993, and 2 of it's the walls of Bannerman Castle have already fallen. We took a boat from Beacon as part of a tour. Guide on the boat only spoke to people who asked questions, instead of sharing the great trivia of the hudson valley to all passengers. Tour guide at the actual castle location was great, sharing the history of the person who built this "castle" which was just an armory to hold his cache of weapons from being an international arms dealer. Good place to take pics. This whole trip could be much better, especially for the amount of money they charge.

We loved this tour from Beacon, NY! The boat ride on the Estuary Steward (an open boat with a roof) was quick with a nice overview of some of the history of the area. Once on the island, our local tour guide, Adam, took over. He was absolutely fantastic! Energetic, personable, and informative with some humor mixed in. Everything was run efficiently from the boat ride to the tour. Recommend!

Today's Bannerman's Island (aka Pollepel Island) Trip was the best of the best. Boat cruise captain and History Background Teller, and Walk-in Island Guide was the wonderful people. Thank you.

Pleasant ferry ride over to the island with a humorous captain. Tour of the island was informative and interesting. Adam did a wonderful job. Fascinating place and beautiful, rustic gardens.
