Shirley made our two week vacation perfect at Grand Cayman. From the time she picked us up at the airport to taking us to her suggested two dozen restaurants to returning us to the airport, our experience with her could not have been better. Her full day tour of the island was fabulous due to her knowledge of everything past and present of the island. She took us to the grocery store, to the liquor store, to the ice cream store, and everywhere we needed to go. Shirley is a native of Grand Cayman and seems to know most of the vendors in the island. She was always prompt for every outing, and charged what we thought were bargain prices. In her heart she loves Cayman and we love her!

We weren't on a tour. This review is all about Shirley. We were lost and as luck would have it Shirley was out in her yard as we were walking by. My husband decided to ask directions which led to her offering to take us where we wanted to go! SHE was one of the highlights of our cruise. Her kindness, honesty and generosity were unbelievable! She ended up taking us on a quick spin of the town, offering to drop us off anywhere, and at the same time sharing her deep Caymanian Roots and wisdom. All this... and refused compensation. Next time we are on the island, we will definitely hire her for a full on Grand Cayman experience. STRONGLY recommend contacting her for any of your Grand Cayman needs.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable local guide who really cares about your experience, then Shirley at Cayman Routes is the guide for you. My husband and I booked a tour in advance of our one day (cruise ship) stop in Grand Cayman. For two years in the mid 1990s I called Grand Cayman home, and was curious about how the island had changed. Shirley, who can trace her Cayman roots back to the first settlers of the island, was the perfect person to reacquaint me with this beautiful place. She took us everywhere, from Georgetown to West Bay, East End and ...to Hell and back (please go to Hell and visit Mr. MacDoom, who will stamp your postcard and be very glad for the visit). There are still those magical Caymanian places; Seven Mile Beach, and Pirate's Cove for example, and classic Cayman snacks. Shirley sussed out the perfect Conch fritters and local beer and then....(drumroll please) Shirley reconnected me to my old co-worker with whom I had lost touch. When I mentioned Cindy B.'s name (as in "I wonder where she is now?") Shirley said "I know Cindy B." and promptly called her. Cut to: emotional reunion with former co-worker made possible by Shirley's attention to detail, connection to people, and unparalleled knowledge of the island. (and thanks to THAT reunion, we were able to meet up with another dear and long lost friend Teddy E.)
OK not everyone is going to be tracking down the past, but if you are looking for the best tour guide in Grand Cayman, Shirley Roulston is your woman. I cannot believe in the two years I lived there we never met. She's a gem, dear reader. I cannot say enough about her, and look forward to riding in her spotless van again soon. Shirley is the real deal, a true Caymanian with a love of people and her country. Five Stars!

Shirley Roulstone is the best. My family, total of 5 ranging from 78 to 17, had a wonderful time doing the Cayman Sampler tour. There was something for everyone in the family. We loved having Shirley all to ourselves and it was fabulous to see so much without everyone else from our cruise ship.
Shirley is fantastic in that she knows so much about the island and knows so many people. I really got a feel of the island by spending time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who really wants to enjoy the time they have on Grand Cayman.

Shirley took us on a very informative tour of Grand Cayman which included stops at the Pedro St James historical landmark and the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park. Shirley's love of her native homeland was evident as she shared stories of Cayman's history and her own ancestry and lineage dating back to the island's earliest settlers. Her knowledge of the island's flora is exceptional. Shirley made many recommendations for dining, from seafood and steaks, to local spirits and ice cream, her suggestions never disappointed. From the moment she picked us up at the airport to the time she dropped us there two weeks later, Shirley provided us with transportation services wherever and whenever we requested them. We had a great vacation in Grand Cayman and Shirley Roulstone made it possible. We will be forever grateful to her!

We had the pleasure of having Shirley as our tour guide. She picked is up at the airport and brought us to the B&B we were staying at on the east end.
A couple days later she took us for an island tour. Along the way, she would point out different spots and educate us and provide details on each. It was awesome having her with us. We felt like VIP on her tour. She took us to a cliff that overlooked the ocean, Seven Mile Beach, Botanical Gardens, grocery store, anywhere we wanted to go!
Shirley is an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. We got to know more of her personal life on the way back to the airport. She gave up some tips for our pepper plants and banana trees back home. We will be coming back next year for another tour of the island!
Do yourself a favor and take a guided tour with her.

Of all of the trips we have taken - this is top of the list. Shirley is AMAZING! My husband wasn't so sure he wanted to take a tour - but it was the highlight of our cruise. She really goes over and above to cater to your wishes. She knows everyone on the island and everyone speaks highly of her. The knowledge she has and the heart she puts into the tour is the best. She asked what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She took us to eat lunch and try Cayman food which was so relaxing sitting on the outdoor patio right on the water. You will not regret this experience. It is a MUST if you are visiting the Cayman Islands.

Shirley is a very experienced guide and a true Caymanian. Her tour provided plenty of island history, which is
fascinating. Her personal knowledge and experience contributed greatly to the tour. We enjoyed a local spot for lunch, The Caboose. Wonderful food, not the least bit touristy. Well worth the price!

Hi Nancy! This is Shirley! I am happy to help plan your day in Grand Cayman! I do land tours so if you look at my website caymanroutes or call me 1 345 926 1432 and choose a tour that best suits your group I can see if a Stingray trip can also be added on. I can add the Turtle farm to the Cayman Sampler or East Express tours. Let me know if this helps!
