Tremendous Journey around Northern Ireland
Absolutely marvelous sightseeing tour. We reserved seats near the front because I knew I wanted to get photos of every place on the list, and was quite happy being able to easily jump off and walk around. The tour stops roughly every hour, and the driver (ours was Patrick) will inform you of which places have decent bathrooms and when you'll have better chances to use them. The tour went swiftly and we had lovely weather, we got around 1h45 to explore Giant's Causeway which was plenty of time to do a lengthy walking trail. If you do decide to get tickets to the visitor center, you'll want to select a time near to 1:30pm because that should be close to your arrival time, however all that's inside is a gift shop (imagine paying just to access a gift shop!) but tickets also include shuttle rides, or so I think, if you don't want to walk down to the rock formation and/or back. Patrick was informative and funny, and knows a lot about Game of Thrones and the local film locations from it. Lunch was alright, the pub was convenient due to preorder. Highly recommend taking this tour

Perfect way to spend a day with family
We had a great day! Perfect family tour-and a very knowledgeable guide Q10- quiggs helped us learn and know what historical or even mythological influences shaped N Ireland. Only drawback was not getting very close to Dunluce castle. But we just lived our tour guide who kept us entertained and informed!

The museum begins with...
The museum begins with the building of the Titanic. From the 1st floor, you go to the 4th floor. There is a wonderful ride that shows the various inner workings of it being built. From the 4th floor, you go down providing a visual representation of the ship from beginning to the end. Lots of information but worthwhile.

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.

Visit to the Giant’s Causeway
Bus left at 8 o’clock sharp! The driver provided commentary on places of interest as we left the city. He also played Irish music on the way there and back, gave us some background info on Irish history and talked about folklore and superstitions. He was clear about departure times and gave advice on safety as it was a wet day.
The Causeway was great to see but we didn’t go right down or climb up high as it was fairly slippery! We walked down to it but got the wee bus back up the hill as it’s quite steep. The time actually flew in and we felt a bit rushed at the end. Would have liked to have gone in the hotel for a cuppa as we were cold. It was still a fantastic experience though!

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.

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.

Fab little tour with a wonderful guide!
Brilliant trip, with wonderful views along the way and a stop at the view point across to the rope bridge. The Causeway itself is magical. We had about an hour actually on the rocks, which was plenty of time to take pictures and explore. We had the most incredible weather, which definitely helped, but I am sure it would be wonderful rain or shine. Gary, our guide, gave us all fascinating insight into Northern Ireland and the Causeway, and really looked after us. I highly recommend this tour and would absolutely do it again myself, a brilliant afternoon out!

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!

A trip well worth considering
Mark, our driver, was excellent with a great sense of humour! Perfect balance of telling us about the area and attractions versus leaving us to just enjoy the journey. He also kept the group aware of running to time. A long day but the trip included several attractions.

Yes x 100
This was such a great experience. Ray was amazing. The food at Fullerton was outstanding. If you’re not sure about the seafood chowder I promise you won’t regret it. All the stops were great. We had plenty of time to see what there was to see. Would highly recommend. Also, sit on the left side of the bus, I was jealous of the left side for sure.
