This was a great tour with a great tour guide (Paddy!)!
Our group of 6 ladies loved the size of the tour (medium sized, maybe about 25 people, much smaller/more mobile than the large tour buses), the stops (settlement on the coast, Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Bushmills, Dark Hedges), and our tour guide. The scenery throughout the drive was absolutely stunning. The weather was also great but of course that was just a happy accident. Paddy (tour guide) shared many interesting facts and stories with us throughout the drive - Irish history. Irish language, Irish mythology, etc.
Recommendations for future tour goers include to be prepared to pack or buy a lunch at the first stop, as there is no official lunch stop, and sit on the right side of the bus so you can see the beautiful coastline as you drive north. We wish we could have spent more time at Bushmills (no time for the tour, just tasting & the gift shop if you don't dilly dally) and the Giant's Causeway (15 min walk to/from the parking lot & causeway) but the timing of these stops are very standard.

Guide very knowledgeable and informative
Experience was really good value
Highly recommend Steve the driver
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.
Overall a great tour- lots of driving but most was very scenic. There really is not a good meal spot so perhaps pack food.
Dark hedges was not that exciting - maybe if you watch game of thrones.
We took a taxi from cruise ship to the meeting point which was very easy. Much cheaper than cruise ship excursions. We had a great day even though it was a bit wet. John our driver was lovely full of funny stories. Smaller coach which was great.
We had the best time on this tour. The driver Paul was super knowledgeable about so many things. Even got a song. The giant causeway was stunning. We will definitely use this service again.
Fantastic Giant's Causeway tour! Everything was well organized, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the journey enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Northern Ireland!
Fantastic experience, Stephen was a great tour guide, really funny and knowledgeable of not just the places we visited but of Northern Ireland in general. 10/10 experience would recommend Odyssey Tours and Stephen to anyone traveling in NI.
Fantastic day! Not too large of a group with plenty of time spent at stops. Paul was an excellent guide and was incredibly friendly.
Steven was well practiced and engaging. Very educational and good value of money for a whole day trip
Wonderful tour with smaller comfortable bus. We enjoyed our guide and driver Steven who is quite knowledgeble.
great tour - tour guide paul was knowledgeable and funny an asset to odyssey tours. we did the small causeway tour so not one of the huge coaches and this made a difference. we had enough time at each stop to experience and photograph.
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.
Great day trip, packing in all the things you’d like to see, good value for money with an excellent tour guide
The driver is excellent his timing is amazing how he is able to schedule the leaving time to avoid all the grounds for the bathrooms and restaurants. Amazing
Paul was a fantastic tour guide, informative, friendly and a good crack. The length of time was just right at each stop
This was such a wonderful holidays experience for us. The guide and the driver was awesome. He explained everything very well to us. He was humble polite and very supportive. He is a gem. The service was prompt and worth the money. I would recommend them to everyone. I will choose them next time too. Thank you for the service.
Paul is the most amazing tour guide we have ever met. What enchanting storytelling he does! He is so knowledgeable about history, geography, culture, and current affairs. The way he connected the past to the present took us back to times we never got to live through or witness, yet we deeply felt every moment as he described them.
Even my boys (12 and 14), who are usually not good listeners, were completely intrigued and listened attentively throughout.
We have now returned from Northern Ireland, but the beautiful feelings and love for this place that he filled us with will definitely stay with us forever. Thank you, Paul. Stay happy and healthy.

Stephen is an absolute delight as a tour guide, and he kept us engaged with stories about Belfast's history as well as information about the sites we visited.
Great tour, excellent guide and a wonderful way to spend a day taking in the sites.
Excellent trip. Comfortable coach and knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoyed my day here at Northern Ireland
Our Driver Stephen did a terrific job of narrating the important topics of what we would be seeing. His friendly and humorous personality really made our day. My only disappointment I would say is to ask you to stop advertising the Rope Bridge in this tour since it’s obviously not possible to take the tour buses in there any longer and this is misleading to the customer.
Overall our tour was a wonderful experience.

Response from Host, May 2026
Hello Lucie
Thank you for your feed back
Nice to hear you enjoyed your tour with us
Sorry you found the information confusing
We do not advertise crossing the rope bridge
We do advertise that we stop at Portaneevy view point with its stunning views of Carrick a Rede rope bridge and Rathlin island
Regards
Our driver was excellent. We only had 1 1/2 hours at the Giant's Causeway. We would have preferred to have more time there and skip the Bushmill Distillery visit. Overall, it was very much worth the price and time. It would be helpful to advise that there is no lunch stop and you should bring something unless you want to buy something at a small store en route. Our time was shifted earlier given the road closures for the Belfast Marathon. That was great in that we were ahead of many other vans and buses. The views of the coast were lovely.
Great overall experience. Driver was friendly and knowledgeable. Full day of sites with ample time to see the attractions.
Highly enjoyable day out with a well thought out itinerary and the comfort of a smaller mini coach , the experience was made even more memorable by the guidance from our driver Paul who educated and entertained us in equal measure!
5* highly recommended when in Belfast
Our guide Stephen was excellent, full of really good history and knowledge and being born and bred in area. The minibus was ideal and infact what drew me to this particular tour. I would highly recommend Odyssey for anybody wanting to do this beautiful coast line road trip.
Great job today from Stephen, our driver and tour guide, who imparted lots of knowledge along the way and took us to Giants Causeway (a gem), Bushmills Distillery, The Dark Hedges from Game Of Thrones, and the Carrick-A-Rede Bridge overlook along with several other vistas that'll make you smile while shaking your head over what you're seeing. A great way to get a good look at this part of NI.
This is a fun, full day tour. The stops were perfect and we had enough time at each one for pictures and exploring. The Tour bus driver was wonderful and gave a lot of information about places along the route as well as for the places we stopped.
Lovely day trip, Beautiful scenery and lucky with the weather. Couple of hours shorter than some other companies but 7.5 hours is about right. Driver was very knowledgeable.
This was a fantastic tour. My friend and I really enjoyed our day. Despite it being very rainy and windy this was our favourite day in Belfast. Our guide Stephen was very knowledgeable, providing lots of interesting history and popular culture information. The itinerary was very well planned yet relaxed.
Great day out, even though the weather didn’t enable us to use the coastal route, driver was very accommodating and enabled extra time at Giants Causeway & Bushmills Distillery, which meant the day felt unrushed and able to utilise additional time.
Driver was very informative & learnt loads about the area and sights.
Pleased had opted for a smaller coach, well maintained and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend
Great guide,very knowledgeable!..smaller coach,wasn't the cheapest option but I'm so glad I chose this company!👍👍👍
