Has anyone done the trolley/train tour of Belize?

Several of us are looking for more information about the trolley/train tour of Belize. Does anyone have any more information about this? Can it be done independently? Is it offered through the cruise lines? Any info would be appreciated.

I finally found some info on the trolley/train. It is apparently only offered through the cruise lines. (And maybe only through NCL??) It costs $31 and lasts 1 hour. It is an open-air vehicle and includes Baron Bliss Lighthouse, the Governor's Mansion, St. John's Cathedral and the Swing Bridge. A 'local snack' and bottled water are included.

I contacted Denise Ockey at Calypso Tours and she wrote back that

the trolley/train tour is available only thru the cruiselines. She has

contracts with 5 lines, but no contract as yet with Carnival. They

need more trolleys before they can add carnival which they expect

in 2011.

 

She did say that there may be a few seats available and they are taken

on a first come basis at pier check in. So if anyone is there and wants

to be on standby they can ride. Often there are around 4 seats available.

 

The cost is $32 per adult and $25 per child 2-11.
