TargetsMom Posted November 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Can someone who has taken this tour through Celebrity tell me if you saw much of Belfast on your way "out of town" (or on the way back to the ship) and if the tour guide provided much information about points of interest in the city? I really want to see Giant's Causeway but hubby also wants to see a bit of Belfast when we sail on Eclipse next May. Thanks for any info. kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted December 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I've just posted on another thread about taxis in Ireland and thought this might be an alternative. We have been on a ship's excursion in Ireland but we used a local taxi company after a recommendation in these boards. We pre booked a taxi in Belfast with Value Cabs to take us to the Giants Causeway and other attractions in the area. The driver was brilliant, really knowledgeable, amongst other things he should us where you can get in for free to see the Giants Causeway. It's a public path, nothing illegal, but most people visit through the visitors centre which incurs a charge. After 4-5 hours in the North Coast area he drove us back to Belfast and gave us a tour. Sorry I can't help with the cost as the brother-in-law paid for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2017 You might want to ask about this on the Celebrity Cruise line board since the excursion is specific to Celebrity. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TargetsMom Posted December 2, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Thanks for all the comments. 4774Papa, I am booking us with Odyssey. Their Giants Causeway excursion for cruisers does finish up with an "extended tour" of the city, so hubby will be happy. And as you said, it is cheaper than the cruise line. One more port checked off the list! kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suznjune Posted December 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I booked with Odyssey for our June cruise before I saw this thread. I guess I made a good choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
