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!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. John, our tour guide, was kind, knowledgeable, and patient as he answered all our questions. The Giant's Causeway is a must see and we definitely would recommend this tour.
Stephen our guide was knowledgeable and an incredible driver. Great day trip to the Causeway
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.
We had a lovely and entertaining all day tour to the Giant’s Causeway with Odyssey Tours. Our coach driver, Stephen, was very knowledgable and a great, funny, and very interesting guide. We would easily recommend this trip, especially if Stephen happened to be your driver / guide.
Exceptional tour. Stephen the tour guide ( Jul 20) was excellent. One of the best tours I've been on in any country.
