Me and my friend went for a weekend in Belfast and booked this tour because we’d always been interested in seeing the Giants Causeway.
We had Stephen as our tour guide and he was FAB!
He provided running commentary throughout the whole day, which was impressive! You can tell he’s been in the business a long time and turns pride in what he does. Lots of interesting facts, game of thrones references, general knowledge and laughs.
The tour visited a few different spots including Giants Causeway, Dark Hedges and Bushmills Distillery and you got plenty of time in each - with a good 2 hours at the Causeway, being the main attraction of the day.
It was foggy and spitting on to rain throughout the day but that didn’t spoilt it by any means.
Plenty of toilet breaks and opportunities to grab lunch / snacks.
Highly recommend this company!

Excellent tour with Stephen, who gave us a huge amount of info on the back story of Ireland, the Troubles, local believe systems/customs and geography. 7/1 2025 Well worth the trip.

Great tour, guide was amazing, timing around all stops was perfect. Just the right amount of commentary without being overwhelming. Highly recommended.

Very happy with this day trip. Our guide, Stephen, was very knowledgeable about the area & pretty funny too, a friendly guy! I thought his tidbits of information along the route were really interesting.
I also liked the fact the coach was smaller than other companies (although the coach itself could do with a refurb as it did seem a bit old!). There is no lunch option either (bring or buy your own food), but I preferred that as it meant we were ahead of other coach tours & weren't tied in to being taken somewhere for lunch. I thought the tour was reasonably priced as well, certainly compared to other options.
We had enough time at each stop to explore, and nothing felt rushed.
Would definitely recommend this day trip.

Highly enjoyed this day trip. Our tour guide, Stephen, was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. Enjoyed hearing his stories and bits of information on the journey. Best part of the day was obviously the Causeway & I think we had plenty of time to explore it. Enjoyed the brief visit to Bushmills as well, & although I'm not a whiskey drinker I was able to purchase a couple of souvenirs for family. I felt the time spent during the day was also adequate and nothing felt rushed.
You don't get lunch on this trip but we knew this and so brought sandwiches with us which I was fine about.
Definitely a must do trip when in Northern Ireland.

...and a few other quick stops.
Driver was safe, informative and entertaining. We very much enjoyed the trip.
No busses are allowed to the rope bridge, if you want to go across it, you must go with a small vehicle.

Had a lovely day on the Giants Causeway tour from Belfast. Paul our driver and guide was very entertaining helping to pass the time between locations. He was both funny and knowledgeable giving us history lessons on the beautiful antrim coastal route. You could tell he knew what he was doing manoeuvring that vehicle through some back ways to beat the other tour bus traffic. Was great to see both historical and sites from game of thrones. Would encourage anyone to book with odyssey!
