From Belfast-Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle and Dark Hedges tour

Laura_B, Jul 2026

This was a great...

This was a great experience. We had Ollie as our tour guide and he did a great job of sharing stories to inform us. He’s also a great singer! The time at Giant’s Causeway was wonderful. We would have liked more time there, but understand time constraints. The dark hedges were neat, but maybe didn’t need as much time there. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the causeway.

Karl is the Man

We had an amazing tour guide named Karl. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He had great advice for the different stops and the best way to get the most out of each stop (and save you money). He was even kind enough at the end of our tour to contact his boss and get permission to drop the 15 of us from the ship directly back at the cruise port instead of having to take a taxi back. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you are lucky enough to get Karl.

Stunning Causeway

A fantastic full day travelling along the stunning coast to The Giants Causeway. Our driver Frank & guide Colin were very knowledgeable. Frank brought quite a lot of humour into his commentary, which made it a thoroughably enjoyable day. I did think the visit to Dark Hedges, unless you were a fan of game of thrones, was a waste. It was all well organised, even down to pre-ordering lunch (if you wished) at The Fullerton Arms. We had the seafood chowder, which was delicious. A great day…..thank you.

Titanic Museum- Brilliant

Titanic Belfast is an absolutely brilliant attraction and a must-visit when in Belfast. The interactive exhibits are engaging, informative and beautifully presented, bringing the story of the Titanic to life from its construction through to its legacy. The building itself is stunning, and the entire experience is both educational and moving. One of the highlights of our trip to Ireland and highly recommended.

Great fun short trip!

Amazing, knowledgeable driver with a great sense of humor. Always felt safe and well cared for. The trip was comfortable, and the stay was short(as planned), but great. You’d probably need a full day to cover the grounds, but an hour or so gives you enough for some exploring and photos. Glad we squeezed this into our short stint in Belfast!

No Need to Pay Extra

Each destination we visited was open to the public. If you wanted to enter the “visitor center” an additional entrance fee is needed. All sights we visited had information markers if we wanted to know more about the location. We did not pay extra to enter the “museum “ or gift shop.

Beautiful day visiting Northern Island. Highly recommend!

Well packaged. Paul with Odyssey Tours was a fun guide.. loved all his stories and his sense of humor; on top of that he is an awesome driver navigating us through small villages and windy roads. Loved the whole day. Not too long and just enough time at each stop and visit. Highly recommend .. book it.

Giant's Causeway Tour from Belfast: Luxury Bus and Castles Tour

Connor_C, Jul 2026

Fantastic Experience! Beautiful scenery and good Comedy.

Meeting early in the morning after a concert was a bit of a slog but the fantastic attitude and sense of humour of our tour guide had us perked up and attentive for the entire bus journey. They took the time to explain key historical moments , interspersed with humour and light-hearted chitchat. The Antrim coastline is breathtakingly beautiful and the stops along the way were all phenomenal. We were given ample time at (most) stops to explore and take in the sights. Food at the designated dinner spot at the black hedges hotel was quite expensive, running £17 for a buffet plate, as such id recommend taking your own lunch or getting something from one of the spots along the trip that does things a bit cheaper. The giants causeway was more than worth the trip and exceeds it's reputation for beauty, I do wish that more time was possible there but that would be logistically difficult.

Good combination of countryside and city

Paddy our tour guide was full of stories and history. He and the driver effortlessly guided us through this day of the beautiful countryside. The Giants Causeway is amazing! We saw the Carrick A Rede rope bridge from a view point. The setting is gorgeous! Lunch was on our own, O'Conners was efficient and delicious! My husband loved the seafood chowder. We drove past the Peace Walls in Belfast. We saw so much on this excursion . It is a good combination of country and city.

Game of Thrones Studio Tour with Coach Transfer from Dublin

Vanessa_F, Jun 2026

Deep dive into the process!

GOT fan or fan of film industry? You will love it. It took a solid 2.5 hours and had more substance than I was anticipating. The tour went through the layers of production, storytelling, sketching, armory, textiles and costumes, decor, cinematography, studio design, and music score production (sorry, I’m sure there are more official names to this important work!). It was a day away from Dublin, and also a fun day to remember from our visit. Age range 21 - 73 enjoyed the visit!
