Wonderful tour with smaller comfortable bus. We enjoyed our guide and driver Steven who is quite knowledgeble.
great tour - tour guide paul was knowledgeable and funny an asset to odyssey tours. we did the small causeway tour so not one of the huge coaches and this made a difference. we had enough time at each stop to experience and photograph.
Well packaged. Paul with Odyssey Tours was a fun guide.. loved all his stories and his sense of humor; on top of that he is an awesome driver navigating us through small villages and windy roads. Loved the whole day. Not too long and just enough time at each stop and visit. Highly recommend .. book it.
Great day trip, packing in all the things you’d like to see, good value for money with an excellent tour guide
The driver is excellent his timing is amazing how he is able to schedule the leaving time to avoid all the grounds for the bathrooms and restaurants. Amazing
Looked at various companies but this one stood out by far. The other reviews said it all. Absolutely brilliant even though it rained and was misty! Stephen was fantastic. A wealth of knowledge and very entertaining. Kept our spirits up in the bad weather. The small coach is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We were able to zip in front of other larger coaches and get to locations first. If you want to do this trip and would highly recommend that you do, don’t bother looking anywhere else.
Paul was a fantastic tour guide, informative, friendly and a good crack. The length of time was just right at each stop
A very and even too busy day. Too many buses compared to the quality of the visits. The time reserved for the Giant's Causeway is far too short, it should be at least 2 hours and 30 minutes in order to fully see the site; indeed, we see the Middle Causeway BUT not the Giant. Just the beautiful coastal road even in the pouring rain and the Giant's Causeway. The rest (Cornlaugh, Dark Edges) does not bring anything exceptional. But this is not offered... a bit disappointing, very touristy. Friendly guide but nothing more (at least regarding non-English speakers).
This was such a wonderful holidays experience for us. The guide and the driver was awesome. He explained everything very well to us. He was humble polite and very supportive. He is a gem. The service was prompt and worth the money. I would recommend them to everyone. I will choose them next time too. Thank you for the service.
Steven our driver was excellent. He gave us lots of information about what we were seeing. There’s plenty of time at the Giant’s Causeway. Smaller bus is much more interesting and comfortable.
