Northern Ireland is beautiful - First, the bus was fabulous. It truly had much legroom and I'm fairly tall, my knees could never have touched the seat in front of me. The tour itself was enjoyable and educational. Giant's causeway is both gorgeous and mind boggling. I do feel we didn't see some things advertised for the tour, but I'm assuming that's because our ship arrived later than the normal starting time. I would definitely use this company for another tour.

A day well done with Odyssey and Jim - A very nice time - we discovered with good reason that Odyssey Coach Tours was a popular choice on our cruise visit! Direct booking and confirmation were easy; for timeliness, mind that the parking lot of the port near Belfast can seem more broad and disorienting on ground in comparison to smaller port companions on a passage. Emailed details did help; we thus found our way to Odyssey's coaches and vehicles without too much confusion or delay. The tour certainly holds its own, even if on a limited schedule: we were driven by and past Belfast and whisked along the coast, dotted as described with quite picturesque towns and scenery. The Portaneevy viewpoint provides a stunning view around, and it's easy to see why Giant's Causeway is as renowned as it is. Travel was quite comfortable, particularly for the extra leg room bus: USB, WiFi, cushy seats, and with an uncrowded group size inside all while we went more or less en masse in the tourist flow. Our guide, Jim, fairly wouldn't be called on the boisterous side of the style, but no fault here - through the course of our tour he was just as informative and forthcoming as other guides and marked his narration with both deadpan wit and sincerity as needed, the latter evident as we wove our way back in the streets of Belfast. Jim also admirably kept reins on our schedule, particularly with some boorish traffic at the Causeway lot. We felt we made the most of our allotted port day - no time for Dunluce Castle, but still back with a hand's breadth of all aboard - and that was in thanks to the fact that Jim knew the read of the road and timings to make the day work. Can happily recommend this tour - do pay attention to the confirmation's other helpful notes such as that about the Causeway bus (one GBP per person each way). Many thanks, Jim, Odyssey, for a lovely time.

Not To Be Missed - This was a great trip. Although it rained all day, the sites were breathtaking. Stephen was a great tour guide. He gave us a portrait of his life living in Belfast.

Amazing Giants Causeway - The scenic coastal drive was so beautiful, then the lovely rolling green hills. Unfortunately, fog rolled in for the rest of the drive to the Giants Causeway. However, it cleared when we arrived and we had excellent views of the causeway. Interesting tour of Belfast to end the trip!

Breathtaking views. - We loved seeing the beautiful northern coast. Such amazing views. Our Driver/Guide Steven was fantastic, beating the crowds to the Causeway, he shared some Belfast history with us. This was a great shore excursion.

Fascinating tour - I'm not a fan of big bus tours, so this smaller version was ideal. Since we loaded up faster than the large ones, we got to Giants' Causeway earlier than many others. We were glad for those extra minutes, since it wasn't long before the area was overrun by a lot of other tourists. Giants' Causeway is absolutely fascinating and truly one of nature's wonders. Hard to imagine how it was even formed, given how symmetrical everything is. Well worth the visit. Pay attention to where the driver lets you off. We were one of 2 busses when we arrived, and one of around 30 when we returned. Also, plan on walking down to the causeway (if you're able) but get in line early enough to get the shuttle back up the long, steep hill on the return or you'd likely miss your bus. They take cash and cards for the return shuttle.

A great way to see the countryside - This was an amazing trip! The guide (Steven or Staten) was great and full of information! He made sure we got back to the shop in plenty of time while also ensuring we saw everything and ahead of other tours before the places got busy. The country is beautiful and the Giants Causeway was so exciting to see!!

Giants Causeway is epic! - This was a great tour as written. The tour guide was serious and kept things moving. But at Giants Causeway, he said if everyone comes back earlier than 1.5 hours we will go to early lunch. When we got on the bus at 1.5 hours, a lady got on my face saying we were late. We signed up for this tour to see the sites, not eat lunch!!! Also there were no fairy or folk tales like the description said. Otherwise, bus is super comfy with huge windows and the guide is fine..

Just average - I received two different vouchers from Viator for two different companies for two different pickup points. Neither company had our reservation. Once it was straightened out, we had to sit at the very back of the bus, where we could barely hear the soft voice of the bus driver/guide. Seems the back speaker was not working. The bus bathroom was out of order, but there were frequent comfort stops.
