We are visiting in Cayman for the second year in a row. We are here with my brother sister and their spouses. We decided to visit this historic site and opted for the guided tour. Our guide, Trisha, was so passionate and knowledgeable. We learned so much and appreciated the info that Trisha had. No question went unanswered. If you are visiting the island and want to know the 'history' this is the place . Don't miss it.

My husband and I reached this place by using the public bus from near the cruise port. We could have wandered about the grounds and Great House on our own. We chose to take the guided tour. We were glad we did. There was only one other person in the group, so that was very nice. Our guide Tracy Eden Hurlston is a descendent of the original plantation owner's family. He had great stories to tell about the island, about the family, about the house itself, life on the plantation for both the family and slaves (who became free), the man who took on the restoration of the house, and much more. Tracy made a tremendous difference. The tour included a photo history gallery, a multi-media presentation, brief tour of the grounds, and of course an extended tour of the house. After the tour, office staff called the public bus for us to continue to our next destination. Very much recommend, if you are interested in people and history.

Oldest original house on the island. Your visit starts with a few explanatory boards followed by a good, albeit rather long, introductory movie about the house and its owners, as well as more general history of the Cayman Islands. A few special effects included too! Your fee usually also includes the services of a quirky local quide who is very knowledgeable about the house and the island. The house with a few outbuildings are furnished and well signed with relevant information. Allow about an hour for your visit.

Our guide was one of the best we’d ever had and made our visit super great. She was very clear in explaining the history of the building, how it tied to island history, and the families who lived there. If you like history, as we do, you’d enjoy this tour.

Wow! Yes, this was a amazing tour, by one of the local, she was beautiful, intelligent and well spoken. She have so much info about the house and mean of it exited. It is a beautiful place, well maintained. The landscape and everything is beautiful. The rum taste Museum that there amazing be sure to have a destine driver because for $5 all you taste.
