Excellent tour - The bus was comfortable and clean, and our guide Paul did an excellent job of telling us about the areas as we passed through them. We very much enjoyed the Giants Causeway, and the restaurant for lunch had a lovely view and quite good food. Highly recommend!

Climb the stones if you can - We are in our 70s and felt very comfortable climbing on top of the stones. Take the time to enjoy the beauty and understand some of the history behind the bridge and especially those gorgeous stones. Our bus was great because it was not too small and not too large. Just perfect for about 15 of us.

Exceptional - Amazing tour with Steven. He got us to the causeway ahead of the big buses and plenty of time to tour the causeway. He was very knowledgeable and had a sense of humor. Gave us more than enough time at each stop and even stopped for a couple extra photo stops. We appreciated the time with him as he was very personable. Thankyou Steven

Nice bus. Good tour. - Be prepared for rain and a LONG walk unless you pay for the bus shuttle to the causeway. Was glad for the extra leg room bus.

Really enjoyed this... - Really enjoyed this excursion. Every place we went was beautiful and our driver was very knowledgeable about everything. The only thing that was a negative was the bus could really use some new shocks. We booked the bus with extra leg room and that was great but the bumps rattled your teeth.

Hijacked on different tour - I purchased 2 tickets for extra leg room shore excursion to giants causeway with tour hours from 8 am to 3 pm. This excursion did NOT include the distillery or dark hedges as I had no interest in that. I received a reminder the day before with these hours noted. However, when we arrived to the bus, we were told that groups had to be combined and I had to go on the longer tour. I felt hijacked! Odyssey obviously knew the day before but instead of giving us the option of canceling and rebooking with someone else (there are many), they chose to keep us in the dark and forced us to spend 2 extra hours at places we didn’t want to be. I had other plans that had to be canceled. Also, passengers on the bus included others who did not pay extra for the small group tour (extra leg room) whereas we had. So we paid extra for a tour that we did not choose! This is no way to run a business. I emailed Odyssey twice since but they can't even be bothered to reply. The tour guide was good, it is the company that doesn't know how to follow through on commitments or deal with customers. Choose another company!
