Beautiful site and wonderful staff! Patricia was amazing - The most memorable was the very personable, welcoming and informative tour guide, Patricia! She knew the history of this historical site very well. We stopped at the restaurant on site and it did not disappoint! We will be coming back next year, God willing!

The Best!! - Patricia “Trisha” was our tour guide. She did an AMAZING job. She was very knowledgeable and personable. You could tell she LOVES her job and LOVES history. We could have talked to her ALL DAY! We will definitely be going back to see her when we visit Grand Cayman again.

Ask for Tricia! - We stumbled upon Pedro St James and took a tour with Tricia (ex pat). She was lively, energetic, passionate & super informative. Our tour was very memorable. We even went back in Feb 2024 when visiting the island just to pick up a souvenir and say hi to her!

Interesting and educative - Patricia - the enigma. A wonderful tour guide. Lots of history on her fingertips. Loved the intro 25 min movie session. A nice experience especially for those interested in knowing more about this beautiful island.

Historic site that is worth a quick visit. - Beautiful grounds, amazing history, and fun to see. Would recommend the self guided tour as we all thought that would be sufficient. Guided tour goes over how the building was made, not so much the history.

Would not recommend - When you decide to book a tour at Pedro St. James Castle, beware of your guide Patricia. As soon as the tour started, she began talking about how amazing Grand Cayman is (good for you girl!) But, she made it very clear how much she hated every other country that wasn’t the Cayman Islands. She called our home city a trash hole and proceeded to talk poorly about our home and everyone elses. After making everyone in the group uncomfortable, she finally started the tour of the house. By this point, everyone had left and nobody really got to experience the beauty of Pedro St. James Castle.
