Full Description:
Grand Cayman, rich in history and folklore of pirates and hidden loot, awaits you on the one and only Trolley Roger.

This unique open air trolley will take you past many of the 600 banks, side-by-side with some of the oldest buildings in Grand Cayman, the central park area, and the statue of Grand Cayman's very own national hero, “Mr. Jim” Bodden.
