Extra Leg Room on Smaller Buses makes this the ideal way to travel.
Realising time is limited and the importance of arriving back to Belfast port on time for departure, smaller Buses (19,24 and a max of 27 passengers) are used which makes the tour more personal and easily managed.Smaller numbers means less time spent waiting on people returning to the bus and more time spent at the sites.

Paul was a wonderful guide. He handled late passenger situation very professionally and with a lot of grace - especially with it being in the middle of the day. He was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of historical information. Very beautiful stops! Would definitely do this tour again!

If you want a comfortable bus, an informative (and entertaining) driver, tons of picture opportunities all at a reasonable price....this is the company and tour for you. On the day of our tour we were blessed with crisp but clear weather, so the picture opportunities were abundant. Don't be afraid to ask the driver, ours was Tony I believe, all kinds of questions as he is an encyclopedia of information. The final portion of the trip through Belfast and seeing the location of some of the conflict was very interesting. Yes, you will return to the ship in plenty of time. Certainly, don't be reluctant to purchase an Odyssey Tour.

Our guide, Stephen, added a lot of depth to the tour with his knowledge, history and personal anecdotes about the area. He was very eager to deliver us to the Giant’s Causeway as early as possible to beat the crowds. The Giant’s Causeway was a very interesting destination and the coastal road to get there was beautiful. We happened to have beautiful weather which provided excellent views.

Our guide Stephan made the experience memorable by explaining a lot of the history and culture of the Belfast area that was relevant to what we were seeing. He did it in a succinct and entertaining way, and also allowed quiet times to just enjoy the scenery. I felt that the tour made excellent use of our time without being hectic. We had ample time to explore at Giants Causeway and saw and learned about so much more coming and returning. I was particularly glad to see the peace walls and political murals when we returned to the city. If you only have one day to explore this tour is a wonderful option.

Walk to Giant's Causeway was very interesting.
The driver was also the guide. Very difficult to understand him.

We were part of a family group of 12 people (Ages 12 to 70 years old). Our group of 12 made up almost half of the bus. I’m really glad we booked this smaller coach as it’s much quicker to get 27 people on and off the bus. The legroom was appreciated but even more so was traveling in a small group. My experience with large bus groups is that it takes forever for people to get on and off and to use the toilet when they get to a stop. And much more likely that some person on the bus will come back late. To me, full-size bus groups mean, lots of time sitting around waiting. But not so with this smaller bus. Our group on this smaller bus managed well. Our guide was very nice and gave us lots of information. The only problem was that his northern Irish accent was quite heavy and as Americans we had trouble understanding some of the words. But he was more than willing to answer questions and give suggestions. Overall, the trip was very nice.

Our guide, Stephen, was the greatest. He was very knowledgeable and articulate. In addition, to a great tour of the Giants Causeway, we enjoyed the city tour of Belfast and learning about the history of the city. Would highly recommend this tour

Cruise Passengers beware of this tour provider. Our ship arrived 3 hours late into port and we only found out the evening before the tour. The tour operator was completely inflexible with regard to the 24 hour cancellation policy as well as any partial refund for a 40% shortened excursion. We also contracted Viator who were completely unhelpful in any way as well. Buyer Beware.

We had an incredible day exploring the natural beauty of Giants Causeway and the Antrim coast. Parts were very misty, but as much as he wanted to, Stephen wasn’t able to control the weather. What he could control was the excellent balance of entertaining yet very informative information, with time to just take in the beautiful surroundings and he did a great job. The tour of the peace walls was very moving. The topic of The Troubles can be so hard to explain without bias, but despite him saying that he grew up here, I could never tell Catholic/Protestant, Unionist/Nationalist. He educated without blame or bias - and with lots of humor.

We did this tour with Odyssey and can’t rate it highly enough. Our tour guide Paul was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and loved cracking jokes, we even had a song from him. The tour was first class, with just about the right amount of time at each stop. If you were thinking of going to Giants Causeway from a cruise ship do not pay the ridiculous prices they charge through the cruise line, book through Odyssey instead. You will not get a better tour and at a fraction of the price. They were excellent!!!!
