An great choice - Odessey tours is the company and some of the busses are smaller and hold maybe 24 people so when you choose this tour see if you can select the smaller bus. The tour guide is the driver and the tour experience depends on how informative and funny the guide is. Ours was informative but could have lightened the discourse with more levity. When you get to the Giants Causeway there is a long walk down to the “rocks” but the walk back up is up hill. You are given enough time to make it back to the bus. The stop for lunch was at a charming little hotel with ample menu sections. This company is well organized when meeting you at the shore when you get off the ship. I recommend going with Odessey Tours.

Wonders of Giants Causeway. - We had a great day. Got to Giants Causeway ahead of all of the buses, and was able to see the attraction before it got too crazy. We were taken to a lovely restaurant looking over a valley, which had great food. was shown the ocean views on the way back to the ship, and saw the many cities on the way. All in all a great day!

Great Tour! - This was a great tour. There were four of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed this ride out of Belfast to the Causeway. The country is beautiful. We had plenty of stops and our driver told great stories about the history of Ireland. The bus was comfortable with plenty of legroom. He pointed out sites as he drove and we also stopped at the walls in Belfast to take pics before heading back to our ship. Our guide is really why we all enjoyed it so much. Would definitely recommend this excursion!

Wonderful day! - Awesome experience! Our guide Steven was the best! He constantly had us giggling with his demeanor and humor. We had ample time at The Giants causeway (90 minutes), a quick photo op at dunluce castle and carrick-a-rede rope bridge. Towards the end of the tour Steven took us through Belfast city and gave us the history of the ‘the troubles’ experienced in Belfast. To me this was the highlight of the tour and I truly appreciate all the information and background provided. The small group size and spacious leg room of the style of van was great as well. Our group only had 18 people total. Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Beautiful day, great guide! - We booked Odyssey instead of booking through our cruise ship. Great guide - beautiful day at the causeway and the tour company set up an excellent lunch location nearby with gorgeous views. The guide was well versed in Irish history, culture, and folklore - and we really appreciated that they got us to the causeway first thing and avoided the heavy crowds from the cruise ship we were on our way to the next photo opp as the huge busses were arriving - made our visit so much more pleasant! I can’t remember our guides name but he was great - bus 4 - thank you!!

Recommended alternative to cruise line Giant’s Causeway tour - Nice small group/more space alternative to cruise ship tour. Just 9 of us on a smaller, faster bus. Driver was waiting and easy to find, and very knowledgeable. Beautiful panoramic view from lunch restaurant stop. Bus ride a little rough on smaller roads
