    Beautiful place and history. So nice to spend some time at the water's edge. Great picture place in several areas.

    Rory, our driver, was entertaining, right on time, and very warm and friendly :-) Kept us laughing all the way there and back!

  • 5A great day out

    A great day out visiting/viewing key sites along the causeway coast. Our driver/guide Stephen was really impressive with his knowledge and ability to talk and drive! The coach was a smaller than average - we felt really lucky with that. Felt a bit sorry that we couldn’t get closer to the castle but knew in advance we’d only have time for photos so that’s not a criticism of the tour. The giant’s causeway itself was very busy with tourists and I hope to go back at a quieter time at some point. But we had a good amount of time there to walk along the cliff paths. Don’t buy a drink at the pub there - it’s very expensive! Overall a great way to make an initial visit to that area and would definitely recommend Odyssey.

About Belfast

Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital, a harbour city between hills and lough, known for shipbuilding, Victorian pubs, murals and the Titanic story.

Belfast grew with the linen and shipbuilding trades, and the giant yellow cranes of the old shipyard still stand over the docks where the Titanic was built and launched in 1911. The Titanic Quarter now holds a large museum on that story. In the centre, the domed City Hall, completed in 1906, stands in a square of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and the Cathedral Quarter has cobbled lanes and old pubs.

Top-ranked sights in Belfast: Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges.
