Testimonial
Our visitors can tell you what they thought
‘At noon we met Charles II and the next hour was pure joy. He took us on a tour and fully explained the history of the castle and a bit about St Helier and Jersey. He was tremendous value! With a humorous, cheeky delivery, he gently poked fun at some of the 20-30 of us who followed him around…if he’s there when you visit, then you’re in for a treat!’
