Review of the Belfast Port Giant’s Causeway tour, with extra legroom, coastal scenery, Dunluce Castle, lunch, and practical cruise tips.

“Nice trip from start to finish. We were able to quickly find the Odyssey tour buses after debarking our ship in Belfast. The smaller bus (billed as having extra leg room - which it did) gave us the advantage of getting in and out of locations faster than the larger 50+ passenger buses. Given the smaller sized vehicle, our tour guide also drove the bus, which did not affect his commentating at all. All of the sites/stops were amazing, especially Giant's Causeway. Here, we opted to walk to the Causeway versus taking the pay bus (~1 pound), which added to the 4.5 miles that we walked over the tour day.…”
