A tour of a historical home is only as good as the guide. So in this case the tour was amazing. Our wonderful guide was knowledgeable, informative, engaging and proved us with one of the highlights of our Bermuda vacation. I am so grateful that she donates her time to this Bermuda treasure. Don't miss it.

we visited saint George from our cruise ship it was a nice ferry ride, the town is steeped in history and the people are so friendly I loved the buildings they were so colorful. we missed the dunking of the nagging wife but got to talk to the town crier which was fun. We stopped for lunch at the Whitehorse inn and it was so good the barman was a wealth of information after lunch we visited the town hall and we bumped into the ex Mayer who gave us a tour of the building. After all this we visited some of the local shops and the post office where the lady that served us could not have more helpful. would I go again? YES thank you all in saint George for welcoming us to your parish
