Our family of five from America (all GoT fans) loved this tour. Our guide, Lar, was an extra on the show, and an engaging and entertaining guide for the day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. He was detailed in what happened at each stop (even showing us the scenes via iPad) and was great about taking loads of photos. I highly recommend this tour if you are a lover of the show and want to do a deep dive. Every place we went was beautiful - wonderful way to spend the day.Andrew was an amazing guide! It was so cool seeing the filming sites and talking about the behind the scenes actions and how it was all filmed! Was not expecting an intense hike but it was well worth it!

Easily the best Game of Thrones experience in Northern Ireland! Andrew, our guide, was an extra on the show for several seasons (not to mention a true fan of the series and ASOIAF in general!). He was extremely knowledgeable, and his stories from production were hilarious. If you love Game of Thrones, don’t miss this awesome tour! The company also tours filming locations from the Iron Islands. Both tours give you the opportunity for a photo op in costume at iconic sites. This was truly the highlight of my trip to Belfast!Went on the winterfell trek today with Andrew as our guide. It was great getting to see the locations where filming took place but what made it was Andrew’s enthusiasm, stories and patter. Would definitely recommend and had an amazing day.
