När du väl anländer kommer du att tas med på en guidad tur (varje timme mellan 09:00 och 16:00) som börjar med en multisensorisk 3D-film som beskriver platsens historia, följt av en detaljerad titt på det levande museet inuti Great House, frimärkssamling och utställningar och det omgivande pittoreska landskapet. Det finns också en presentbutik och restaurang på plats. Sedan dess konstruktion för mer än två sekel sedan användes Pedro St. James på en mängd olika sätt – som en bomullsplantage, domstolsbyggnad, fängelse, regeringsförsamling och restaurang – innan Caymanöarnas regering köpte fastigheten 1996 och återställde den till dess 1700-tals storhet.
Idag står det som en dynamisk del av Caymans arv. Mest känd som "demokratins födelseplats på Caymanöarna", Pedro St. James var platsen för ett möte den 5 december 1831, beslutades det att bilda öarnas första valda parlament. Senare, den 3 maj 1835, lästes proklamationen som avslutade slaveriet i det brittiska imperiet från platsen.

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!
