Giants causeway tour. - Our guide/driver was Steven. He was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He developed a very good rapport with the passengers. The coach was very comfortable and so much nicer than a big bus. The tour itself was very good with interesting locations and some beautiful views. We were also very lucky with the weather. I will recommend Odessy tours to my friends. Very good value for money.

This is a lovely day trip... - This is a lovely day trip out of Belfast when we only had a couple of days in Northern Ireland. Our guide, Paul, was informative, fun, and trickled in lots of humor throughout the day. We had plenty of time to explore all the stops -- Giants Causeway was definitely the highlight of the day. Gorgeous! The Bushmills Distillery was also a nice stop -- I'm not a whiskey drinker but my husband is and he loved it. We shared a flight.
Only negative for me was the lack of a lunch stop (which I knew upon booking), but we grabbed some sandwiches before we got to the Causeway.

Great Tour - Great tour and driver! All stops along the way were good, really enjoyed the Giants Causeway and the quick stop at Bushmills Distillery (wish there was more time for wondering around the distillery grounds).

Great Tour Great Guide - Smaller bus, smaller group, comfortable seats. Steven the Driver was awesome. He knew when the larger busses would get to the various stops and was able to get us there before the crowds.

This is the way to go if you prefer smaller group tours! - This tour was perfect! Highly recommend if you are in Belfast and would like to explore the Antrim coast. Giant's Causeway is spectacular. There is an admission fee if you'd like to go into the visitor center there, but based on what I heard, it's probably only worth your while if you're very into geology. We had a good amount of time at each stop... perhaps the only place I wouldn't have minded having a bit longer was Giant's Causeway itself. I personally have a strong preference for smaller group tours and this fit the bill perfectly. Finally, I'd be remiss not to give props to our driver, Paul. He was an eminently knowledgeable and friendly guide with a good sense of humor... he even treated us to an Irish folk song on the drive!

Excellent experience! - We had an excellent time! Each stop had just enough time to enjoy without feeling rushed. Giant’s Causeway was more breath taking than pictures can tell. We had Paul as our driver and guide- he’s awesome! Such a nice guy and hilarious in a subtle way; we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Paul was a big part of that. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Small Coach Causeway Tour: Amazing, You Wont Be Disappointed With This Option. - Trip Option:
We went on giants causeway small coach day tour, departing just before 9am and returning I think around 4pm. The smaller coach was great as it felt more personable and allowed us to get ahead of some of the other coaches. We also didnt feel so much like cattle being moved around for the profit of the tour operators, but rather like humans being shown interesting things in the comfort of a pleasant coach (whats not to like?!).
Driver:
We had Steve, who was superb. We all agreed that he made us feel at ease, and his (live!) commentary was witty and interesting. Steve was very conscious of what other coach tours might be doing, and it meant we were in most cases punctual and not queueing up for toilets, photos or drinks - we were basically the first coach at most of the destinations, helped in part by a smaller coach which can go faster, and a savvy driver. Additionally it always felt like Steve was looking out for us, suggesting what might be the best option, where might be best for us to spend money, and where not to - never in a pushy way at all, but always giving much appreciated advice.
The sights:
Really amazing. The planning is all done for you (obviously), so you see the best spots. But once youre there, you always have enough time to explore and feel independent. At the Causeway in particular you I think have around 100minutes or so, which is plenty. You arent hand-held around the sights themselves, when you get off, its up to you and you can go wherever you like (make sure you return on time of course).
Improvements / guidance / Lunch:
The tour of course was amazing and deserves five stars, but here is some advice / constructive criticism. You can bring your own lunch, otherwise the main "advised" spot is a Spar supermarket at the first stop (they can make sandwiches for you, but they arent amazing; think petrol station food). At the Causeway there is a pub, if youre willing to sacrifice some time on the rocks, this pub does decent food (could be busier in summer, when we went the pub wasnt busy). There is also a cafe at the Dark Hedges which has food.
Note that this was in October, and conditions are likely different in the Summer.
