Do a search on this board using the name in the search function as there was a thread re this port with some tour info.I like ST.P...just walking around the town and I was there on a Bank Holiday when all was closed,but some restos were still open so if all is open it should be a nice visit.There was a tour someone gave on ths isalnd,but since I did not go I have no info,but as stated do a search on this board.

There is a fantastic castle in the port that the Germans used during WW2 - if it's anything like the castle in Jersey it would be fantastic to visit.

 

Getting around Guernsey is easy - there are plenty of buses and taxis.

 

Personally, I would do the castle and afterwards, soak up the ambience over a cream tea in one of the many tea shops overlooking the harbour.

Enjoy - I love the Channel Islands!

We booked a car-rental + a guide who took us around. It was great.

 

There are also small tour-operators.

 

So we had also occassion to get to places like you only know from "Rosamunde Pilcher"-movies... great landscapes...

Out of 4 cruise calls there, we have only managed to have been landed once due to swells being incompatible with safe tendering.

 

From other passengers testimony this appears to be a common-place feature of cruise calls to St Peter Port.
