Game of Thrones Tours

Had a brilliant day out with two friends. I personally don’t watch the show but still really enjoyed it. Brilliantly organised, excellent driver and guide. Even though it was really windy, our guide, kept the mood up and brought interesting facts. Although it requires a lot of walking, the scenery is so beautiful you won’t mind the walking. Personally my favourite part was when we were given the capes and swords :).To fully enjoy your trip, just make sure you are well dressed (waterproof, wind breakers, with a few layers underneath)! You don’t have to be a fan of Game of Thrones to enjoy this tour!

Great time! Our tour guide, Andrew, was fantastic! His humor and love for the show was infectious. The scenery, amazing. Bring good walking shoes and umbrella/​waterproof coat. Thanks for a great day!

This is a fantastic tour for Game of Thrones fans, whether you’re a tourist or a local. We did the tour today and had a great time. It is both informative and also great fun.
Pre-​booking the tour is easy — check out their website or call them. The small coach collects you from Belfast City centre and takes you on a driving tour of various Game of Thrones filming locations.
You begin by driving to Portaferry and taking the ferry to Strangford. You then go to Castle Ward, also known as the Winterfell filming location! ‘The twins’ shooting location is also here. After a trek through this area, you make your way to Paddy’s Barn for lunch, which you pre-​order earlier that day on the bus, which is handy as it is ready for your arrival there.
Other locations include Inch Abbey, Dundrum Castle, and Tollymore Forest Park. The tour guide takes you to all the locations and tells you a lot of interesting information about the shooting of the series.
Other exciting parts of the tour included meeting a dire wolf, dressing up in costume and posing with weapons for photos, and getting a swordplay lesson!
Our guide, Damien, was fantastic as he was just so passionate about the TV series and knew everything anyone asked him. As an extra on the show himself, he knew a lot of details about behind the scenes antics. He filled in any gaps or bus journeys between locations by telling us lots of exciting information. Other gaps were filled with DVDs of behind the scenes clips, and even an episode of the show to keep us amused on the way home.
I would definitely recommend the tour for fans of the show. Just be prepared for quite a bit of walking, especially at Castle Ward and Tollymore Forest Park. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a raincoat in case of showers.
