I'm looking for a short tour of Belize and the Tale of 2 Cities seems to be pretty good; I would like to get any feedback, please. Other thoughts would be a basic 2 hour walking tour or ... the Calypso train ride? Thanks.

 

Tale of 2 Cities:

This fascinating half-day tour will focus on the contrast between the ancient Mayan city of Altun Ha and the modern day Belize City. Althun Ha (Mayan for Rock Stone Water) thrived as a trading post to the Mayan World during the Post Classic and Classic periods. The site became famous by Dr. David Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum when he discovered the largest carved Jade Head depicting the Sun God Kinich Ahau. Today, Belize City is home to approximately 35% of the country's population and remains the commercial capital of the country. The city tour portion of the tour includes such historical sites as the Redbrick St. John's Cathedral and the colonial mansion which was once occupied by British Governors

and has now been converted to a museum called "House of Culture." Your tour ends at the Belize Tourism Village where complimentary refreshments and live entertainment will be provided before returning to the ship.
