Northern Ireland with Stephen is great!
Bruce_H, October 2026
Stephen as guide adapted to our shorter time frame tour(Cruise Ship had all aboard at 3pm). We booked Giants Causeway tour. Stephen got ahead of bigger buses, so weren't held up by larger busses. With 15 passengers he could answer all questions.
As we returned to Belfast, he was able to handle the difficult history of Belfast's civil war. He couldn't have handled it better.

Disappointment!!!
raquelcO6385ZB, September 2026
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
Response from the operator · Odysseycoachtours Hello
Sorry we had to cancel your tour 5 days in advance
We had hoped to get more than one booking and thought 5 days was a reasonable amount of time for you to find an alternative tour
We did offer an alternative that departs from Belfast city centre which you refused. We also offered to arrange a private tour for you.
We do not like cancelling a tour, but unfortunately on very rare occasions it is unavoidable.
Regards

An Outstanding Time in Northern Ireland
Quinn_Z, September 2026
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.
