Main Street is the 2 km avenue that holds most of Georgetown's surviving colonial architecture — the Cara Lodge, the Walter Roth Museum, the Umana Yana, and a chain of diplomatic residences. It runs parallel to Camp Street, one block west, from the seawall at the top to Brickdam at the bottom. GuyWay pickups anywhere on Main Street are standard; the drivers are briefed on the one-way stretch between Thomas and Young, which changes direction periodically.
The closures to watch: Main Street between Young and Church occasionally closes for state visits or national events. The GuyWay app routes around those automatically. Fares are fixed — if a closure adds three minutes through a detour, the price doesn't move.
