Una volta arrivato, verrai condotto in una visita guidata (ogni ora tra le 9:00 e le 16:00) che inizia con un film multisensoriale in 3D che descrive in dettaglio la storia del sito, seguito da uno sguardo dettagliato al museo vivente all'interno della Grande Casa, alla collezione di francobolli e mostre e il pittoresco paesaggio circostante. C'è anche un negozio di souvenir e un ristorante in loco. Dalla sua costruzione più di due secoli fa, Pedro St. James è stato utilizzato in vari modi – come piantagione di cotone, tribunale, prigione, assemblea governativa e ristorante – prima che il governo delle Isole Cayman acquistasse la proprietà nel 1996 e la restaurasse al suo Grandezza settecentesca.
Oggi si erge come un pezzo dinamico dell'eredità delle Cayman. Meglio conosciuto come il "luogo di nascita della democrazia nelle Isole Cayman", Pedro St. James fu la sede di un incontro il 5 dicembre 1831, fu deciso di formare il primo parlamento eletto delle isole. Successivamente, il 3 maggio 1835, dal sito fu letta la proclamazione della fine della schiavitù nell'impero britannico.

Excellent tour conducted by the WORLD RENOUNED DOCENT OF THE STARS: TRISH
Warren A, 08-12-2022
Upon arrival with my high school friend, JB, we were greeted warmly by the staff. There is a self-guided and guided tours available. Since this was our first time at the residence, we opted for the guided tour. The school bus of arriving children went one way, we started the tour exploring the house. Trish, our guide extraordinaire, has incredible charm and knowledge of the estate. She has an Irish heritage (won't fly the Union Jack) and has given personal tours to Martha Stewart and King Charles III when he was the Prince of Wales. She is opinionated about the Royal Family, she will share pictures with you of her beautiful children and grandchildren. Trish also tells stories about her husband and has a lexicon library in her head. She has a vivid memory of the destruction Hurricane Ivan did to the estate a d Grand Cayman Island. If you tour the grounds, ask for Trish. Bring her some Virginia peanuts in the burlap bag. She will be your forever friend. As a person in her early 60's she can climb the steps faster than you and remind you of your Tortuga slowness for the rest of the tour. Yes, she is "saucy" but she loves her job and the people she encounters each and every day.
A guided tour with Miss Tricia

When you plan for this visit, ask to have Miss Tricia lead the tour. She will make it unforgettable. Her encyclopedic knowledge of the Cayman Islands, especially its history and the history of this house will make the visit all the more an experience.
Wonderful walk through local history!

We went to the Pedro St. James historical site based on the recommendation of a local. What a terrific recommendation! If you want to get a unique perspective of Cayman history and culture look no further than the guided tour. Stacy our tour guide is a legitimate Cayman national treasure with an incredible amount of local knowledge and history, including family history having a mother who was born and lived in the Pedro St. James building. We were fortunate to be alone on the tour in the off season, Stacy spent a considerable amount of time with us sharing his knowledge and history - we thoroughly enjoyed the time spent and highly recommend it!
St. Pedro's Castle

We took a cab and when we walked up, the big tour had already started with the video, so we got a private tour of the old rebuilt homestead which was awesome because there were no crowds when looking at things or taking photos and we could ask one o. one questions with our tour guide. They have a little gift shop, small dining area that we did not go into and nice/clean restrooms. After the video, we walked back out to the lawn area, the old outdoor kitchen and through the old house a second time. Very relaxing and enjoyable leisurely taking it all in and thinking about how it was way back then.
Cayman local history

Tricia, our tour guide, was fantastic. Thanks, Tricia, for sharing your love of Pedro St. James Castle and Cayman. The movie portion of the tour helped fill in the long history of the founding families. For anyone interested in local history visit Pedro St James - home of democracy and emancipation on Cayman. We booked the tour through Royal Caribbean. It was combined with the Turtle Center. We would have liked to spend more time with Tricia!
