Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway from Belfast Extra Leg Room Bus
Description
Extra Leg Room on Smaller Buses makes this the ideal way to travel. Realising time is limited and the importance of arriving back to Belfast port on time for departure, smaller Buses (19,24 and a max of 27 passengers) are used which makes the tour more personal and easily managed.Smaller numbers means less time spent waiting on people returning to the bus and more time spent at the sites.

Enjoyed the sights very much. Absolutely beautiful landscape. Our guide was ok. He knew how to drive but his commentary wasn’t particularly authoritative or well presented. Nevertheless, we are glad we did the tour.
That you are not going on the rope bridge. That was the reason I choose this tour. Soo dissapointing.
Hello Judella Sorry you were disappointed Nowhere on our site do we advertise crossing the bridge. We do as part of our itinerary visit a view point were you can see the bridge from a distance. It would not matter which tour you chose from Belfast as none visit the rope bridge All tour buses have been denied access to the bridge. Regards
horrible, directions given to use on tour operator website was wrong and caused use to miss tour. trying to contact tour operator no one would answer phone. still have not received any contact or reimbursement from this operator. do at own risk but i would not do it again
Hello Kim Thank you for your feed back Sorry you were late and missed your tour Our buses are clearly visible at the port and are parked approx 30 metres from the arrival tent. Your bus waited the advertised 30 mins for you with all the other passengers onboard before leaving. We had 140 passengers that day and only 1 no show. Regards
From start to finish Steve our driver and guide made us fee welcome. His commentary and knowledge was first class. Very comfortable coach (apparently only three weeks old) Communication with Odyssey was excellent.
Beautiful view, great itinerary, terrific driver and guide, Steven. Giants Causeway is an absolutely must see
This is a great tour, super well organized and our driver, Stephen was an excellent tour guide. We did the extra legroom bus which made for a very comfortable journey. We arrived at most of the top spots prior to the large buses which gave us a great opportunity to see the sites without as many people.
Stephen was an Excellent tour guide and driver! He knew which roads were closed and how to get around wherever we went! We learned many things about Belfast & Ireland that were very interesting and somewhat sad- I have to say our day in Belfast and the Giants Causeway will always be one of our favorite adventures- Thank you Stephen!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
We had Stephen for a tour guide. I swear, if my Mother had her way, she would have taken him with us the rest of our trip. Quite frankly, I agree with her. He was well spoken and had cracked jokes along the way. The country was absolutely phenomenal. The bus had plenty of leg room and wasn't cramped at all. We were one of the first on the site of The Giants Causeway so it wasn't very crowded. Bring some money for the shuttle bus; you'll definitely want it for the trip back to the top. They stopped at a very nice hotel for a prearranged lunch instead of following the buses to the usual spot. We had a couple of lunch options to choose from. There was a full bar available as well. The deserts looked amazing. Nothing felt rushed and they made sure everyone was counted for before setting off to the next spot. At the end they dropped us off at our cruise ship. It was one of my absolute favorite port stops we made thanks to this tour company.
There is a reasonable price shuttle once there, believe, 1 Euro one way. I walked down & shuttled back. Wish my husband would have shuttled both ways.
Lots of walking at the causeway. But you can take a shuttle down and back up. The tour was very good in all aspects. Thank you I really want to give thanks to our driver Paul. He found my credit card. I didnt even know I had lost it until I got back on the cruise ship when I received a message from the cruise guest services that my credit card had been found and was in their safe!! Thank you Paul for your integrity.
