Calypso Train Tour Of Belize City

[FireEater]

Has anyone taken this tour lately?

 

Do they have accommodations to put an electric scooter on?

[Loucat]

We were on the train on the last car. I did not see anyplace for storage but you might check with your ship if it is their excursion or search on their site.

Have fun! It is an interesting experience! Very poor area and I hope that the money coming in goes to those who need it.

Loucat: Must you be in a wheel chair to book this tour?

No is it not strictly for people in wheelchairs. I emailed them and found out there is one area of 1 train that will support wheelchairs...

Thanks. Have you been on this tour or are you going on it. We don't need a wheel chair but can't do a lot of steep hills, steps. The tour we really wanted to take RCCL is not doing for our cruise. We are not beach people. Thanks. Iris

Any info about the Baymen City Tour in Belize? Thanks.

[FireEater]

Not from me. I know nothing about that one.

 

You might try posting it in the Belize forum for an answer.

 

This post was for the Train ride only.....

Here's a picture I took of the train a few years ago.

 

If they are saying on the first train...I'm seeing an area in the first one, like where the person drives it. :confused:

Looks to be just behind where the driver sits.

 

O-well, we will make it work.

 

Thanks for the picture....
