Paul is the most amazing tour guide - 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.

Highly recommended, very well organized!! - The drive along the coast to the Giants was truly worth seeing. Once there, you should take the shuttle bus. It only costs a few euros and can be paid by card. This way, you have more time for photos at the Giants!!
At the Dark Hedges, you should walk quickly through the park; otherwise, you will hardly make it to the end of the Hedges on time. It is advisable to bring something to eat and drink so as not to waste time at the attractions. Our headband also helped a lot; the wind really howls there!
The stories on the bus were very entertaining, thank you, Paul!!
Overall, highly recommended!!!

Take this tour, you wont regret it. - Wh had an awesome day on this tour with Steven our guide. From the first moment steven was a mine of information, delivered via the tour bus stereo system by headset as he drove us. Not just the destinations but everything along the way. We learned about the troubles, education, politics, legends, giants, game of thrones and loads of history. Plenty of restroom opportunities and shop visits at the destinations. The causeway is amazing and the tour allows plenty of time to explore at an just hang out in this beautiful location.
We saw this trip before booking our short break and selected later flights home and used it to occupy our last day while effectively homeless from our hotel check out. This worked out great and allowed us to cover many beautiful sights we otherwise would have missed out on.
The bus was pristine. The tour was brilliant. Steven is the main selling point

Highly recommended and enjoyable - We decided on Odyssey after considering several tour options, and it proved to be an excellent choice. The smaller coach was immaculate and provided generous leg room, ensuring a comfortable journey. Our guide and driver, Stephen, was exceptionally friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. His commentary throughout the trip was both clear and unbiased, enhancing the experience. The itinerary was thoughtfully paced, and the allotted time at Giant’s Causeway was perfectly managed. We would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent in almost every way. - Stephen was an engaging and informative guide, as well as a competent and experienced driver. We were given a potted history of the 'Troubles', as we made our way out of Belfast, which was helpful. He managed the challenging coastal roads well - we were pleased to be in a smaller vehicle and not a full-sized coach. The Antrim coast is spectacular. Stops were well-timed and we were given sufficient information before arrival. The highlight for us was the Giant's Causeway - the main reason we chose Odyssey being the longer time we had there. Being National Trust members was a bonus for us, as well, as we made use of the excellent Visitor's Centre. We enjoyed walking down to the Causeway and the beautiful coastline. (NB Free transport down & back is available to NT members - a bonus anyone not reasonably fit.) We were also blessed by bright sunshine, after earlier driving through clouds and rain.
I rated four rather than five stars only because pick-up was not on time and at the end of the tour the reason was revealed - we were driven some way out to a cruise liner dock to drop off a handful of passengers (we had wondered why the coach was not empty on arrival) and we then had to crawl back through the traffic, making the trip longer than expected. It was the reason why the note we had ready to press into Stephen's palm as we left was slipped back into my pocket - the only blip on an otherwise excellent day.

May 8 2026 - 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.

Great day trip out of Belfast - 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.
