with Tim Rogers
Since it was established in 1969, the
Bermuda National Trust has acquired more
than 60 historic properties and open-space
areas in Bermuda, and is a formidable force
in the preservation of this fragile island,
characterized by graceful Georgian houses
of whitewashed coral limestone, manicured
gardens, and sparkling turquoise waters. In
1612, settlers from Britain entered St. George’s
Harbor resulting in a unique blend of British
formality and island nonchalance. Discover
Bermuda in all its cultural glory with VIP tours
of historic monuments, special openings of
grand private homes, and exclusive invitations
into breathtaking hidden gardens. Taking place
during the Bermuda National Trust’s festive
“Christmas Walkabout,” uncover Bermuda at
its best, while enjoying many of the island’s
most interesting people and finest restaurants.

Travel with Tim Rogers
Tim Rogers earned his BS in Biological
Sciences and his PhD in Plant Ecology from
the University of East Anglia in England.
Out of a love for teaching and Bermuda,
Tim turned his attention to guiding and
lecturing about Bermudian history, natural
history, and architecture. His hobbies
include English silver, cultivating Bermuda
roses, and traveling. He sits on the Board
of Directors for the Bermuda National Trust
and the Bermuda Historical Society.
