Nelson’s Dockyard is the only Georgian naval yard still working anywhere, and the gun batteries above it were built to watch the French. These are the heritage tours that make sense of all of it: the dockyard, Shirley Heights, Betty’s Hope and Fort James, with prices, walking distances and an honest note on how much shade to expect.

“Terrible!!! Very unsatisfied tourist. The worst tour experience for 20 years of travelling!Chaos at the port due to private tour to be mixed with 28 people. Tour time is 9:00 am, we left @ 9:40 am. Finally, we got a private mini van but we have to squeeze. Very uncomfortable. The van seats 7 and there's 8 of us. The guide tried to waste our our time while waiting for lunch. Don' be fooled, there's no pineapple plantation. We only saw about 20-30 pineapple planted and there's no rainforest compared to Costa Rica. If possible, refund is requested. Never done this before but the group is not happy and satisfied…”
