Our self-guided smartphone tour takes you deep into the stories that shaped the British Virgin Islands—from resistance and resilience to rhythm, rum, and real island flavor! Meet artisans at the colorful Crafts Alive Market, and stand at the Sunday Morning Well—where it is said the emancipation of slaves in 1834 was delcared. Step inside Her Majesty’s Prison to hear dramatic stories from the past. Sip a legendary Painkiller™ cocktail (we share the recipe!) and trace the roots of island journalism and the Island Sun Newspaper. From tropical gardens to grand colonial relics reclaimed by a proud, independent people, this tour blends reflection, fun, and discovery.
