So worth the trip!

sherry_d, May 2024

Magnificent tour along the northern coast of Ireland. The view of the rugged coast and the Dun Luce Castle ruins are just breathtaking. The Giants Causeway again is just jaw-dropping beauty and a natural wonder. Don't miss The Nook (if it's open) right there in Bushmills for a pint! Our tour guide and bus driver were delightful and provided great insight all along, but especially when we went thru the city of Belfast.

Amazing

Christine_H, Mar 2024

We were on a cruise and took this tour! The instructions were very clear to find the bus. And the tour was cool. This place was beyond anything I have ever imagined! Spent some time there! The hike back up is a little rough, but the line for the transport back was long. A definite must see! Would do this tour again!

Excellent tour

John_A, Nov 2023

This was a worthwhile trip. We went through lovely countryside on the way. We spent quite some time exploring the area of the Giants Causeway which was awe inspiring. On the way back we did a city tour before heading back to the cruise port (we were on a cruise). Highly recommend this tour

Best day in Belfast area

Great tour guide and bus driver Paul. We had fog and drizzle all morning which prevented us from seeing some of the highlights …. The weather and sky cleared up and the tour guide ‘n bus driver graciously went back (without prompting from the guests) to the fogged in spots - very thoughtful !

Totally recommend

Leslie_F, Oct 2023

Excellent value, and a very informative tour guide. Full action packed tour. A full day and excellent value.

Fantastic Guide and Driver

Sylvia_C, Oct 2023

Amanda and Pat were absolutely amazing. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate completely but we had a great time non the less.

Amazing and fun tour of Giants Causeway on the northern coast of Ireland

Ronald_P, Oct 2023

This trip was so fantastic. The second time for Giants Causeway for my wife and I but this time we had our adult children and daughter in law with us. They loved it! Our tour guide Amanda was amazing. She was funny and knowledgeable and always looking out for everyone in the bus. We really could t believe how many private tour busses there were as we come off the ship. Viator often comes in about half the price of a ship excursion so I totally get it. We have used Viator on three different cruise now and multiple excursions with zero issues. Just pure enjoyment. We were lucky on this trip too because we got to the Causeway before the rain. Everyone we talked to back on the ship that took the cruise lines excursion got drenched. Just luck I know. But luck at half the price!

Perfect experience

Oliver_S, Oct 2023

Giants Causeway

Craig_H, Oct 2023

Fantastic trip to the giants causeway unfortunately the.weather was typical British had a fab driver Pat who had some tricky driving conditions and a very knowledgeable guide Amanda with her tails about the sheep and cows ended the tour with a lovely drive along the coast and then though Belfast would highly recommend

Do this tour!

Mary_T, Oct 2023

Fabulous itinerary. Being picked up at the cruise ship dock was very convenient. Amanda - tour guide - and John. - driver - were very good.

Wonderful!

lynnettewettstein, Oct 2023

Excellent experience! Driver and tour guide were so fun, interesting and organized. We loved seeing this beautiful country and felt like we were in great hands the whole time! Would do again!

Nikki was great

Gerald_P, Oct 2023

Nick was a great guide for Belfast. Really enjoyed her commentary. The Giants Causeway was tremendous, and the full day was a real delight.

Best investment for viewing some of Ireland

trisha_r, Oct 2023

Amanda, our tour guide, and John our bus driver made the trip totally enjoyable! They both had fun, loving, personalities! Amanda was full of a lot of knowledge and shared stories with us. Besides going to the giant causeway which was breathtaking, we also got to drive through the countryside and get a taste of Ireland there!

As anticipated

Laurel_R, Oct 2023

Amanda and John were a wonderful team. John did a great job safely driving us through the countryside and Amanda's stories and info about the area were fun and cool to learn about.

Great trip

Dale_W, Oct 2023

Great job by the driver Dave and crew forgot the lady’s name but she was from Ballymore! good value for money picked up right by cruise ship so no hassle well done would recommend 100% satisfaction from our group.

exceptional, informative , packed day

Gary_J, Sep 2023

Our driver from Odyssey tours, sadly I can’t remember his name, but we had a wonderful trip from the port at Belfast to the causeway, told us a lot about the Unionist and Nationalists, he used to be in the Army during the troubles. On the way back to the ship, he took us to the peace wall and explained what went on. The tour bus picked us up early before any of the other coaches had arrived thus avoiding the crowds from the later tours from the ship. Excellent day out. Shame about the weather, but we have no control over that.
