Great Excursion - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Patrick (Paddy). Pickup at the pier was easy and our bus had plenty of room. When we got back on the ship, we met people who said that their tour had no room for their legs, but our bus was comfortable. Paddy made sure that we understood all of our stops and even took time at the end to show us the area in Belfast where the Protestants and Catholics have been battling for years. The Causeway was amazing….the rock formations were unlike anything we’ve ever seen. We stopped for lunch at a little restaurant and the seafood chowder was the best we’ve ever had. We felt like we saw a lot of the Northern Ireland countryside and it is beautiful. You will not be disappointed with this tour!

Highly recommend it! - Excursion started on time at 8am. Was back on my ship after 7 hours. Was given ample time at each location as promised. Ate lunch at a really nice restaurant, with affordable prices, and awesome views. Enjoyed the excursion and highly recommend it.

It was awesome. - We had an excellent trip and tour with Odyssey tour, no storm or hiccup. They were waiting for us when our Princess cruise ship docked on time . Our driver was excellent, may be his name was Steve, can't recall, he used to do tour for game of throne staff, love the narrative he gives over the speaker as he drives, not sure how anyone can multi task like this. Anyway, no complaint there. Communication with James via email was on the point. Lastly paying for the tour was also smooth. As for the causeway, if you are into nature and geology stuff, you will be amaze and beauty of the place. Almost forgot, the restaurant The Lookout near/at Ballycastle we got dropped off at serves some good food(chicken Caesar salad, seafood chowder, cappuccino, fish and chips), which I was surprised, give it a try if you happen to stop here.

Incredible day - We loved this excursion. We were able to see so much more than if we opted to do it with the ship. The Giants Causeway was awesome. We got there before all the big tour buses. Incredible day.

Excellent full-day excursion! - we opted for Viator’s tour, rather than the comparable tour offered by our cruise line. It was half the price, but longer and included more stops. Our excellent driver, Stephen, multitask and acted as driver and tour guide. He did a great job, and his mission seemed to be to get his passengers to the site before the other big cruise buses. It worked! We had open viewing of the Giants Causeway hundreds of people poured in.
It didn’t hurt that we had perfect weather. Plenty of time to explore and have a pint in the pub there before heading on for a quick lunch break in Bushmill.
The drive-through the northern Ireland countryside was beautiful and he was a very proficient driver.

Great Day Out with Odyssey Tours!! - This tour by Odyssey provided a very good option for visiting The Giants Causeway among other included places. The extra legroom along with smaller numbers was a boon. Stephen guide and driver was both informative and entertaining. His local knowledge proved
advantageous concerning arrival times at the various locations.
