Awesome Day on the Belfast Coast - What a full and wonderful day! It was all we could have hoped for. The time at each of the locations was perfect! The choice for lunch was extraordinary with an amazing view. When people ask what my favorite part of our British Isles cruise was, this was it! Thank you Odyssey.

Awesome tour guide! - The Causeway was beautiful, and we loved the little village and pub that we ate lunch in. Our tour guide, Mary, was one of the best tour guides we have ever had! She was very knowledgeable, we loved hearing her stories, and she was just a lovely person. We would highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful Norther Ireland - Absolutely stunning excursion! The tour guide was an absolute delight and provided so much information. She also allowed time to relax, listen to music and enjoy the scenario. The amount of times my jaw dropped at the sheer beauty of the region was uncountable. Fantastic tour guide, fantastic tour and fantastic sights. The only thing I would change is maybe allot more time at the Causeway.

Great tour of this beautiful part of Northern Ireland - Very impressed with the booking process and clear instructions for joining the coach.
Small group and itinerary meant we got to Giant's Causeway ahead of the crowds. Travelled by the coast and the glens of Antrim with time for a lunch break at lovely cafe and for a final tour round the different areas of Belfast

Giant Causeway - After a rocky start with the bus our guide Mary and driver Peter took us on a wonderful journey to magical places. We stopped at several photo opportunities and were given enough time to enjoy the highlight of the Giant Causeway.
Mary was very informative and kind and made the trip extra special.
Peter was a good driver.

Nice and considerate! - Mary, the tour guide and Paul, the driver were very considerate and helpful. Sometimes senior citizens like us can be slow. They waited for us. That was very nice!

Great scenery - The views were spectacular. I love our driver, Anthony, and his knowledge and sense of humor. He drove us to many interesting sites and gave us time to get out and check things out.

recommended tour. - Our your guy/driver was very friendly. He showed us all the interesting points along the journey. It takes most of the day to complete it, however it was very rekindling and informative. Out bus was small van with about 20 people which made the whole trip more comfortable. The break for lunch was in a brand new restaurant with an amazing view of coast /ocean.

Great Area to Visit - Missing Trained Guide - The tour had a great itinerary, but the guide was weak. We were a group of 20 people, just large enough, which was a positive. I asked the driver why we did not have a separate guide and he told me he was a local with lots of knowledge. I another passenger told me he said to them the tour company pulled him from the office to drive/guide. He was a local but he certainly was not a historian like some of the other reviews mentioned. Someone asked him about the sheep colors and he made a joke about them being British and Irish. I don't think he knew why they were marked with colors. The restaurant for lunch was a winner. The last part of the tour was a drive through Belfast city where the guide gave personal experience of the past and current conflicts of the area. This was interesting to learn about the history from a personal perspective. As I said the itinerary was very good and for that I gave it a very good on my review. I like to keep it real on the reviews so that you know what you are getting in to. As with most tours 8 hours never is 8 hours it was more like 7 with this one which was fine since it was raining a lot that day of our tour, which of course was not the fault of the tour company.
