A packed agenda of local sites
We had a great day today out with Colin on the day trip to Giants Causeway. Colin was an excellent guide and driver, giving us all the details we needed to get a good look at all the sites and to really enjoy the day. The timing of each stop was just right. We brought water and snacks, but didn’t really need to as there are several places along the way to get those, as well as a nice lunch stop where we had a drink and a hot lunch at our own expense. Overall thoroughly enjoyable would highly recommend it to others.

Exactly what we were after
Very simple tour, one short stop on the way and then straight to the Giants Causeway - exactly what we were after. The tour cost was decently priced (as the drive was about 1.5 hrs one way, so 3 hours total ish)… we had some Irish music to listen to during the coach ride, plus our driver gave us some historical commentary during the ride but not too much that it became distracting as the scenery on the drive was amazing and great to watch as we drove through. We were very lucky with great weather and blue skies. We arrived back just before 1pm and were very happy with this as we could head straight to lunch at a pub recommended by the driver, before heading into Belfast city hall which was also recommended by the driver!

Wow, this was so well done!
Lots of parking available near the museum. Plenty of choices for food on sight.
This is an amazing museum, so interesting and very informative about Belfast and the inhabitants. The museum tells a brilliant story from start till finish, it is a must see!!

Brilliant
A truly brilliant day! Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Belfast and wanting to see more than just the city.
Troy was brilliant. Knowledgable about the subjects and funny.
He took time to get to know and involve everyone.
10/10 would recommend

Loved it, would definitely recommend!
It was a really enjoyable day out to see the giants causeway, the coach was efficient and driver Gary was great company. We didn't expect to learn as much as we did on the trip here or to see so many other tourist destinations. From Ireland history to folklore tails it was very engaging. Would definitely recommend to others, particularly those new to Ireland in general or at the start of their Belfast visit who want to get a overview of other potential interesting spots to explore after the journey.

This was a nice...
This was a nice adventure. It never felt like we were on the bus too long and was a nice balance of quick stops and longer stops. Our driver/guide, Frank, was fantastic. The only downside was lunch. They were quite busy at the restaurant, and I ended up having about 15 minutes by the time I got my order to eat, pay, and use the restroom before getting back on the bus.

Giants Causeway Coach trip -magnificent.
Excellent guided tour by Dave who was brilliant. A very safe and steady driver on difficult narrow roads -he used to drive tanks for the army. Loved his jokes about the big yellow gantry of H & W standing for Hello and Welcome going to be sold to Fred Olson lines making it … He very wisely said at the beginning that he had no intention of offending anyone and he didn’t. He gave very helpful advice when visiting the Giants Causeway and managed the other coach drivers in the tight parking problems so we got away on time. He got a deserved rousing applause from the passengers on our return to Belfast.

Good general overview
Joined the bus near the City Hall, good clear commentary explaining all the history of Belfast. Covered a lot of what makes Belfast tick, from building the Titanic to all the varied murals and their significance.
Trip was about 90 mins in total. Good overview.

An Outstanding Time in Northern Ireland
Amanda was an amazing tour guide. She assisted us with each step of the excursion. I was impressed how she took the time to speak with each group on the bus. She wanted to know a little about each person and make it very personable. The excursion itself was organized and smooth. Amanda explained the history of Northern Ireland and folklore stories which added dimension to our tour spots. The bus was clean and well-maintained. Our bus driver, Ryan was experienced and provided a comfortable ride. Amanda gave advice for places to stop and enjoy local cuisine and recommendations for places to avoid. Overall I would highly recommend this excursion and Odyssey Tours to anyone visiting Belfast,
Northern Ireland.

Awesome Tour!
Guide and bus driver were amazing!! Made it so fun! They also were both very knowledgeable. Giants Causeway was breathtaking! Not to be missed! Saw Dunluce Castle- it is ruins so a drive by was ok, got good pics, Dark Hedge was good. I love it only being 6 hrs- very efficient.

Awesome day in Belfast!
Awesome small group tour! I definitely recommend doing this with the smaller group. We were able to modify the schedule and get people on/off at each stop quicker which gave us extra time and we were also able to make several additional stops! Make sure you don't delay when you get to the Giant's Causeway, it will take you all of 20 minutes to walk there one way and it is a popular place! We could have probably used more time at the Titanic Experience, I recommend breezing through the first floor as there was a ton of cool things to see after you ride the "Peter Pan" like experience which was extremely well done. Our guide, Justin, was extremely knowledgeable about every location we visited and had great stories to share. Ryan was the driver, he was fast and safe! I would recommend this tour and Fin McCool overall!

Fantastic day trip — highly recommended!
We absolutely loved this tour! It was a great way to see some of Northern Ireland’s highlights in one day, and everything was very well organised.
Our guide Steve was brilliant — funny, entertaining and full of interesting stories. He kept us on schedule and made sure we arrived at each stop before the crowds, which made a big difference.
There were only 23 people in our group, so the coach was a perfect size and much more comfortable than a large tour bus.
The Giants Causeway was definitely a highlight. One small tip: there isn’t a specific lunch stop, so bring a packed lunch. We ate ours at the Giants Causeway with a beautiful view, which actually worked out perfectly!
Would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you want a well-organised day with a great guide.
