Cushendall a quaint little coastal town at the foot of the "table mountain, with its historical Curfew Tower built in 1817. We stop for a 15 min comfort break.
Stephen was an excellent guide providing interesting narration and good directions when he made our stops throughout the voyage. He was especially considerate and flexible with our short time onshore.
Stephen as guide adapted to our shorter time frame tour(Cruise Ship had all aboard at 3pm). We booked Giants Causeway tour. Stephen got ahead of bigger buses, so weren't held up by larger busses. With 15 passengers he could answer all questions. As we returned to Belfast, he was able to handle the difficult history of Belfast's civil war. He couldn't have handled it better.
We booked this excursion months in advance, only to have it canceled two days before the scheduled date. After calling Viator support, we were rebooked on a similar excursion. However, that second excursion was also canceled the night before, leaving us with no time to find an alternative provider. As a result, of these back to back last minute cancellations, we missed out on the experience entirely. Very dissapointed and have lost full confidence in Viator
Brandon was our Driver and Amanda was our guide. They did an excellent job and really enjoyed their tour of Giants Causeway and beautiful countryside as well as Belfast the city.
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.
It was a wonderful experience. Alan gibson was a wonderful tour guide and driver, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our tour and I would highly recommend him for everyone.
Great tour of Northern Ireland. Our tour guide Amanda was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. She made the travel enjoyable. The Giants Causeway was our favorite stop, a beautiful area.
Amanda was SUPERB, warm, friendly, knowledgeable, fantastic! Ryan was an excellent and super helpful. The tour was lack luster! Maybe just me, but the Giants Causeway was a huge disappointment. Too much driving and points of interest blurring by. Would have much preferred the Titanic Tour.
Incredible day from start to finish. Our tour guide Amanda and driver Ryan made the day so seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the best views of Northern Ireland and be in good company from the guides
At Giant's Causeway we weren't told where the bus would be parked. Three places to check. Told to meet at the top on the hill. They didn't mention in front of a building not the actual top.
The trip was billed as easy bus trip with photo stops it was a walking tour of Copenhagen if you have trouble walking do not book this trip my husband just had to sit on the bus for 2 hours
The causeway was great but the rest of it was a little long and boring. I thought we going on the bridge. We could hardly see it.
This was one of the Best Tours I have ever been on. The tour was great but it was the Tour Host Amanda that absolutely made the trip Amazing .🤩 👍👏👏! We can’t thank her enough along with the Driver Brandon for such an incredible adventure. We want to Sincerely and personally Thank Amanda for being such a special, outstanding, Host! Always John & Nancy👍👏😉
Loved this tour. Amanda was our guide. She was very knowledgeable and a great sense of humor. She made a point of meeting each person on the tour. Would highly recommend it
Very nice tour and very friendly tour guide Amanda and driver Brandon. Excellent trip to the giants causeway
The biggest Viator group I've ever been with but it wasn't a problem. It was 75% cheaper than the ship's tour and we saw more. Amanda was a fantastic guide who was passionate about her job and very knowledgeable and informative. She took time to come round and get to know each of us individually. She had a great sense of humour. We arrived at the Giant's Causeway before the ship's excursions so it was quieter. It was lovely driving through the Glens of Antrim which was also included. Stopped at a very nice restaurant for lunch (not included) and had plenty of time. Would recommend 100%
Our tour was excellent. The stop at Giant's Causeway was amazing, the scenery surreal. My husband and I walked both ways to get to the area, and it is a pretty decent uphill on the way back. The other stops were great too, the swinging bridge viewing and also the beautiful views from the restaurant we visited. Amanda was very knowledgeable and also very caring. She made her way through the coach to personally chat with all of us. She gave us good tips along the way, and she really wanted to sensure we had an enjoyable day. I would recommend this excursion.
Great trip. Amanda our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, our driver Randall was skilled. Highly recommend.
This was a great tour. Bus Driver, Reynold (i think) was awesome and our guide was amazing. What a great introduction to the beauty of Northern Irela d
Spent a day on a tour around Belfast Northern Ireland. The tour company worked out great. We booked through viator. Amanda our tour guide was very informative. We saw so many ruins of castles and UNESCO world Heritage sites. The Rocky coastline Drive was fantastic. Especially enjoyed the scenic drive through the Glens of Antrim.
Guide was very knowledgeable and informed us of so many things. Enjoyed Giant Causeway very beautiful
Its like being transported to a mystical world. You see castles along the way and a few stops for photos. You arrive at the top of the world with a choice of walking down to the causeway (which we did) or there is a tram for a small cost. The walk is STUNNING. Wild blackberries grow along the side of a trail. Once you get to the Giants Causeway you really get a sense of the millions of years it took to create. Core memories are created. DO NOT MISS THIS.
Tour guide Amanda and driver John were a great pair. I hope you get them if you book this tour. You need to!
The picture for the excursion shows the rope bridge but you are not near that when you are dropped off. You have about an hour at the causeway which is just about enough time to walk down, or take the bus, and look around at the beautiful rocks and coastline.
Bad guide a lot a of talking about herself no interessant information. All nice prescribed villages were stoppen at far out from the these village. Ended up obligated at a hotel for lunch instead of the prescribed pups in village. Not worth.
Our tour was through Odyssey Tours. Amanda (Guide) and John (Driver) were outstanding. I would recommend Odyssey Tours for seeing the Giants Causeway. We had visited the Giants Causeway two years ago as an excursion through the cruise ship we were on. With Odyssey we saw so much more including a trip through the the part of Belfast with the wall. It was very moving. We appreciated seing this side of Belfast. Thank you.
We headed to Dunluce castle firat for a quick picture stop, then to Giants Causeway. We had a good amount of time there and then stopped in a cute little town for lunch and then another picture stop at a bridge, then drove through some pretty places including the Atrium forest area, the red arch, by 3 caves, and then a driving tour around the outskirts of central Belfast. Ours was a little quicker on some.of the stops because our cruise ship was leaving at 4:30. They got us back to the boat a little after 3pm. The tour guide was great and had a lot of good information and was entertaining.
Excellent trip . Pick up from port in a small coach waiting for us as we disembarked . Brilliant trip, driver full of information. Missed all the other caoches Easy to book direct and it was 1/3 of the cost of P and O indentical trip .
The drive for this, the views, amazing! Your guide was wonderful, I appreciated him. Wished we had a little more time for lunch and wandering is all.
Wonderful tour. Amanda(tour guide) & John (driver)were awesome. Amanda was very knowledgeable, knows the history of the area well and very entertaining. John played Irish music about a rooster! That was delightful. Giant causeway was awesome! Shows you God's wonder, beauty of creation! We drove through the beautiful Irish countryside. Lots of sheeps, cows grazing on the green pasture, green meadows & rolling hills. What an awesome site to behold! I just wish we were able to cross the Carrick- a- rig ? bridge. Just saw it from a distance. They said tour buses were no longer allowed to get close to the site. Belfast was ok. I felt sad when Amanda was telling us the history of political/religious divide, that still manifest itself in the city. Overall this a wonderful excursion. They were on time. There was plenty of time back to the ship. The tour bus was very comfortable with restroom on board. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Money worth spent.
This tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Amanda was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to spend the day with. I highly recommend skipping the cruise ship excursion and booking this tour instead. We were picked up right at the dock and dropped back off on time after the tour. You will not regret booking your Giant’s Causeway tour with this company.
It was a wonderful excursion. Our driver Stephen was so knowledgeable and knew how to get us to the sight seeing before the tour buses arrived kudos for that!!!
Total misrepresentation. You cannot cross the rope footbridge at all anymore. Even so, the vendor and Viator knowingly use the picture and make you think that’s part of the tour! If you want to spend most of your day in a coach, with brief hop offs to use the bathroom and run through a small town unprepared for lunch crowds, this is your tour.
Giant's Causeway was beautiful and majestic. Amazing to see. Amanda and Sean were great as guide and driver. Very little time in Belfast.
This was a very delightful tour. Our guide Steven was very friendly and very descriptive in what we were seeing! Highly recommend this tour and Steven!
Amanda (guide) & Brandon (driver) were both awesome! Very enjoyable experience seeing amazing Northern Ireland Coastline and City of Belfast. Fantastic commentary by Amanda. Great stop at a hotel for lunch.
Sit on the left side of the bus you won’t regret it! Love love this tour. Only thing I would have like was more than 1 hour and half on the actual costaway!buy overall worth the price!
A fair amount of driving on narrow roads. Trail options to water. Some are moderate. Beautiful lunch spot
Well organized, experienced driver/guide, comfortable coach bus. At each stop, the driver gave clear instructions on time allotment at each stop so no time was wasted at any point. Saw a lot in one day, loved the fact that we got adequate time to experience the Giant's Causeway (the highlight of the tour.) Prior to the excursion, I'd highly recommend that you clarify the pickup location as it is off the side of the port area.
The tour was good and the driver and guide were nice but they didn’t take us to a few spots promised. Also, this was booked 3 months in advance and our names were not an any of the 6 busses!
Great excursion. Knowledgeable local guide and great coach driver. Had great weather not a cloud in the sky to top it off.
Paddy (Patrick) was a wonderful guide. He kept us on time without rushing our experience. I do wish we could’ve made it to bushmills but guess I booked the wrong version of the tour. What we did was lovely though and lunch was delicious with a beautiful view. Couldn’t ask for better weather and the AC on the bus was well -appreciated.
Love the smaller group. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Only way to go is viator. Have done several with them
We took the Giant's Causeway your from the port. The coach was waiting, on time ,and comfortable. Our driver, Paddy, was delightful and a good driver to boot. Small coach so no facilities but we made it work without problems.
Great view of the giants causeway . Splendid walk and beautiful views. Guide Amanda was knowledgeable and pleasant . Lots of good information
We felt rushed through whole experience. Driver friendly talked to fast to get it all. Drives abit to fast also trying to beat time even. though back early.
Picture shows travelers crossing the rope bridge. This hasn't been allowed since 2020 but still using this photo to get you to book the trip. You don't get any where near it and get photos from nearby cliffs. Despite their assurances that there is a bathroom on board there is not. The tour of the giants causeway is self guided. The bus does not enter the official parking area to save money and your ti get does not include admission to tourist center. Our guide was able to point out all the local bathrooms along the way. He was very knowledgeable with stories of history of the areas we were driving through. Because the cruise ship cut our time short we were unable to enjoy lunch in town. I really expected more stops instead of a drive to and from with narrative. You would be better taking taxi to rope bridge so you could actually cross it and then to the causeway.
The Giant’s Causeway was the primary stop and it was wonderful. The lunch was very good at a restaurant with very nice views. It was not clear that we would drive by, and not stop, at any other significant places. The rest of the trip was driving through one section of Belfast where there are murals of the “Troubles.” The narrative was the politics of the time, the driver showing a picture of some horrendous violence that occurred, adding a distinct personal political slant.
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.
Tour guide was great. Pick up at the port was easy. You don’t get close to the walking bridge it’s a long ways away for a photo no way to cross the bridge. Still beautiful . Causeway was cool but thought the area was going to be bigger. The lunch was great. The bus ride was great.
