Randall and Amanda with Odyssey Adventures were absolutely fantastic! Amanda was so sweet and kind to us. She was an incredible host. The stops were iconic and we absolutely loved driving through the Glens listening to classic Irish music. Thanks from the Young American Honeymooners.

This was an amazing experience, absolutely breathtaking scenery and such a fascinating history of the area. We were on a cruise and their care and attention to making sure we were picked up promptly and more importantly, returned on time, made it a stress free experience. Absolutely recommend!!

This trip was wonderful. Our guide Amanda was so informative and friendly. I only wish we could have spent more time at Giants Causeway.

We were a group of 10 people. They picked us up at the Princess Cruise Terminal. We drove alongside the Causeway Coastline. We stopped at the road to take pictures of the Dunluce Castle, a medieval ruins that appeared in Game of Thrones. We continued to the Giant’s Causeway where we walked 15 minutes downhill to the rocks promontory. There is a shuttle that charges 2 BP round trip to the rocks. After we had lunch at a traditional Pub in town where the Fish and Chips were excellent. We came back to Belfast where the bus gave us a tour of the City before returning around 3:40 pm. We started the tour at 8 am.

Stephen made the day! He is very knowledgeable about the area. It was a wonderful trip and we got there before a lot of other bus’s allowing us to get pictures without a bunch of people. The view is spectacular and well worth the ride. Lunch at The Lookout was also good.

This is a fabulous tour. The countryside is beautiful with lots of rolling hills , sheep and cows. We had sufficient enough time to hike to the Giants Causeway expend time taking photos. The tour guide was also the bus driver and he did a fantastic job providing information about the city of Belfast . We would recommend this tour to everyone! The guide was a blessing! It was a very relaxing experience.

Richard_S, Sept 2025
The trip from Belfast to the Giant's Causeway took us through beautiful Countryside scenery. Our tour guide (Amanda) was very informative and enjoyable. Our driver (Steve) got us where we needed to be safely and was very friendly. We really enjoyed our day.
Sue_P, Sept 2025
The tour guide/driver was amazing and had a great sense of humour. Ensured that we had a good time and made the most of our time with him.
Catherine_H, Sept 2025
Causeway can be slippy in wet weather. Sun stayed out for the duration of our visit. The trip included some beautiful views of the Irish coast.
Patrick our guide was very informative and friendly.
bobh7007, Sept 2025
Our guide Amanda spoke clearly with complete historical background. Our driver Barry was such an alert driver and knew the difficulties driving all these curved roads. The scenic drive was beyond anyone’s imagination.
The value of this comprehensive tour was well beyond. Every tour we have taken with either Viator or Trip Advisor (its sibling) is comfortable and we always feel assured with confidence that if they are behind these tours we will be more than satisfied.
kiong_h, Sept 2025
Despite the weather , the Giant’s Causeway view made our day . Would like to stay there longer .
Steve , our driver and guide told us many interesting stories about Northern Ireland .
Sue_D, Sept 2025
Had a few concerns with our Princess Cruise arriving exactly as tour was supposed to start and lunch as this was longer excursion. Communication was wonderful! Danielle got back to me in a timely fashion and gave me peace of mind!
Our tour guide Amanda and driver Barry were so wonderful!! We all enjoyed our Giants Causeway, the medieval castles and the beautiful scenery. Lunch at the Salthouse was a treat. What a wonderful experience. Amanda and Barry then gave us a tour of downtown Belfast and explained the history of the troubles that plagued Belfast for decades.
We all loved it every minute of our tour include the Irish music we got to listen to! Northern Ireland is a place we will come back to and stay a wee longer to enjoy some more ‘Crack’ from the wonderful people of Belfast.
Michael_A, Sept 2025
Excellent guide (Amanda) and driver (Barry) made for a truly wonderful day! Saw all sites with great comments. Highly recommend this tour!
Suzanne_N, Sept 2025
Definitely walk all the way around the first point to the back side, don’t stop at the first point. It is amazing to see all the rock formation.
From the back side, you can see across to the far side, I zoomed in & took pictures, there are more columnar on the far side as well.
If you like to climb on things, there’s plenty to see.
Bruce_R, Sept 2025
Great tour!! Amanda was a fabulous host/guide. Being a resident, she was able to give a history that only a local could. The bus driver, Barry, got us quickly from sight to sight and slowed down for photo shots at pass by sights. Of course, the weather was perfect which made it even better.
Fara_S, Sept 2025
Excellent excursion. Amanda and Barry, our driver were wonderful. Very knowledgeable. Friendly and helpful.
