1Disappointment!!!
We booked this excursion months in advance, only to have it canceled two days before the scheduled date. After calling Viator support, we were rebooked on a similar excursion. However, that second excursion was also canceled the night before, leaving us with no time to find an alternative provider. As a result, of these back to back last minute cancellations, we missed out on the experience entirely. Very dissapointed and have lost full confidence in Viator
5Brandon was our Driver...
Brandon was our Driver and Amanda was our guide. They did an excellent job and really enjoyed their tour of Giants Causeway and beautiful countryside as well as Belfast the city.
5An Outstanding Time in Northern Ireland
Amanda was an amazing tour guide. She assisted us with each step of the excursion. I was impressed how she took the time to speak with each group on the bus. She wanted to know a little about each person and make it very personable. The excursion itself was organized and smooth. Amanda explained the history of Northern Ireland and folklore stories which added dimension to our tour spots. The bus was clean and well-maintained. Our bus driver, Ryan was experienced and provided a comfortable ride. Amanda gave advice for places to stop and enjoy local cuisine and recommendations for places to avoid. Overall I would highly recommend this excursion and Odyssey Tours to anyone visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland.
5A great tour of scotland
It was a wonderful experience. Alan gibson was a wonderful tour guide and driver, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our tour and I would highly recommend him for everyone.
5Giants Causeway
Great tour of Northern Ireland. Our tour guide Amanda was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. She made the travel enjoyable. The Giants Causeway was our favorite stop, a beautiful area.
3Great People Poor Itinerary
Amanda was SUPERB, warm, friendly, knowledgeable, fantastic! Ryan was an excellent and super helpful. The tour was lack luster! Maybe just me, but the Giants Causeway was a huge disappointment. Too much driving and points of interest blurring by. Would have much preferred the Titanic Tour.

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.
