Guided Tour of Grenada

St George's, Grenada

Sample Grenada's highlights on a 4.5-hour guided tour from Grand Anse. Visit historic Fort Frederick, which played an important part in 17th-century European battles as well as the American-led 1983 intervention. Driving into the lush interior, see firsthand how nutmeg is used to produce mouthwatering jams, jellies, and liqueurs at the De LaGrenade visitors' center. Venturing into St, George's, visit the bustling market before heading for the Clarkes' Court distillery to sample some varieties of rum.

At the prearranged time, your tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in the Grand Anse area or from the cruise port. Meet your local driver-guide and jump aboard the air-conditioned coach.

First make a 30-minute stop at Fort Frederick to take in its panoramic views of Grenada's southern peninsulas.

Next, the 15-minute drive to St Paul's offers picturesque scenery and passes through some residential areas on your way to DeLaGrenade Industries. Spend 30 minutes here and sample several award-winning jams and jellies, as well as their famed nutmeg liqueur and nutmeg syrup. You will also get to sample an energy drink made from algae, which the islanders believe to boost virility. See firsthand how the spice trees grow in the adjoining garden.

Head next to historic St George's (a 20-minute drive), with its naturally beautiful volcanic harbor. Your guide points out the Bianca C monument and takes you into the bustling, colorful market to experience a market day in Grenada. Spend about 45 minutes here. A cool Carib, the local beer, can be enjoyed, at your own expense, in the shade of the historic buildings of the market, or you can visit one of the nearby art galleries or the museum.

Finally, head for the last stop of your tour. Leaving St George's you drive 20 minutes to Clarke's Court Rum Distillery, which makes 19 different products, all of which can be sampled at their visitors center.

Your tour concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel or the cruise port.
