Incredible experience, great company - This is the best option to see the Causeway and surrounding area. Stephen, our guide, knew exactly how to time the tour to avoid the crowds, and he was extremely entertaining and informative.

Great day and great company! - This was an amazing day. Odyssey got us to Giant's Causeway and other sites just ahead of the very large coach buses, so we weren't fighting crowds. The driver was friendly, informative, and funny. I was grateful that the tour included well-spaced restroom stops, and the driver gave great advice about when to grab lunch. Giant's Causeway itself was amazing!

Well done Odyssey - Great experience from the start, would highly recommend. Collection from the cruise terminal was easy, with all the information provided beforehand for ease of mind. Well done Odyssey.
Our driver was Paul, who gave great insight and humour through the day as he took us to the causeway and beyond to the various photo options. Fantastic stop for lunch (not included in the price - this is made quite clear) at The Lookout in Ballycastle - fab food and wonderful view. Great day out

Fantastic tour - well worth doing - We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Odyssey Coach Tours this week. Our guide was Steven who made the day really enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and very informative.
Well worth doing and great value for money.
We had the right amount of time at each stop. Beautiful scenery and a great day out.

Excellent guide and great experience. - We carefully chose Odyssey from the competing tour companies to see Giant’s Causeway and are glad we did. We took the smaller coach tour, and Steven, our guide, was delightful and informative (and kept us abreast of strategies to outsmart the rival giant busses that threatened to overwhelm us at every stop). He added anecdotes and history, and gave the right balance of talking and time to relax and enjoy the coastline. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Scenery - Such a great way to spend the day. Stephen was our driver and was very entertaining while we drove. He knows when and where to use the bathroom, get food and get in the shortest lines. The views were amazing and I liked fewer stops so we could spend more time at each site. Great tour.

Excellent and memorable tour - A great tour with a friendly and knowledgeable driver. Other people on the tour were also nice, which the tour operator of course can't control, but is worth noting. Would recommend.
