Private Guided Tour of Historic Fortifications in St. George

Jacqueline_A, Dec 2025

This was an excellent tour. Bill Storie was extremely knowledgeable about Bermuda and the forts at St. George. It was interesting to hear of the British need to defend the island for so many years. Of particular interest was the largest fort, Fort St. Catherine, and Bill led us through a myriad of underground passages. There were good examples here of the weapons to be used in the event of an attack, though this never happened. The pace of the tour was good and addressed our interests perfectly. Thank you Bill, we enjoyed the tour immensely.

Rebecca_J, Aug 2024

Absolutely wonderful!! I had some scheduling difficulties that Robin was very accommodating about. Then our ferry got canceled and I was in panic mode about times & being picked up. Again, very accommodating and easy. Bill was an amazing guide; very knowledgeable, fun, personable and willing to change up the itinerary. We will book again for sure!

Our tour guide, Bill, was phenomenal! He gave us great information and was able to answer any questions we had. It was great being just my husband, our daughter, and myself. The Forts were amazing! Getting to go inside the Unfinished Church was something I've wanted to do for years. You won't be disappointed if you do this tour! We highly recommend it.
