The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We did learn many facts about the island. The rum drinks on the train were great! The problem was where you change from bus to train. There is no Depot. Bathrooms and one shade tree is all that is there. We waited 1 1/2 hours for the train. Storm was coming and everyone was huddled under one tree for shade. They need benches and a pavilion of some sort. Especially for the elderly.

Beautiful train ride to see the Island, but dreadfully organised! Awful transfer from hotel in a vehicle with no aircon and very cramped. Driver was late so we had ro miss the first stop before the train, then on arriving at the train it was a free for all to get aboard!

Very fun and informative, our guide took good care of us and spoke in detail about the history of the island. The train ride itself was bumpy but yet fun.
