This journey will take you to Ballintoy Harbour, known as the Iron Islands, Ballintoy beach or Dragonstone beach, a Stormlands cave, and the Dark Hedges, better known as the Kingsroad. We utilize tablets to present VFX breakdowns, enabling you to understand how each setting was animated. As an integral part of the tour, we offer everyone Iron Born attire, metallic swords, and Greyjoy banners, all at no additional charge. Our trips guarantee an authentic Thrones encounter!
All admission fees and additional benefits are covered in your ticket fee. The only extra outlay is for your pub lunch.

A great day - I had a lot of fun! I’ve never seen GoT before and went with my mum who loves it. But this tour has opened my eyes and I’m now watching it. Andrew was an amazing storyteller and gave us so much information and he was a lot of fun. I really liked that the clips were played before going to the places so we could visualise everything before hand.

Amazing experience! - If you are a big fan of GOT, I strongly recommend you to take this tour with the original Game of Thrones Tours, with Richard Hodgen (extra in Seasons 5 and 6). You will enjoy his comments of every place you visit and the customs, swords and shields are the best!

What is dead may never die! - My husband and I went on this tour for our honeymoon and had the greatest time! Robbie was our guide and he told great stories of his time on set, and really helped us feel immersed in the tour. We would recommend this to anyone who is a huge GoT fan, or just for anyone who wants to see some really beautiful places around Ireland!

Amazing GoT sightseeing trip! - What an amazing experience! Our guide Richard had so many great things to tell and stories to share as he was an extra in the serie. The views were amazing, we were a cool group and I have taken so many photos, will take a while to edit them.
If you ever plan on doing the GoT tour, be sure to book with these guys, you won’t regret !!!

Great company, even though our tour was cancelled - I wanted to leave a positive review for Game of Thrones Tours company because even though the tour we booked was unexpectedly cancelled, the customer service was very good. We were notified less than 48 hours before our scheduled tour but the Game of Thrones Tours team member provided a detailed explanation with several options to still have the chance to rebook. We were really disappointed but because we received such thorough information, we were able to book another tour on short notice during our 48 hour stay in Belfast. This team was also very timely about processing our refund and replied quickly to my follow up inquiries. Things happen out of our control, and this company still did the right thing!

Having richard as host who was in thrones made a great day even better. Great filming locations and worth paying extra for richa - Brilliant day with richard. Great locations and was well worth paying a bit extra to have an actual extra who was in thrones

Awesome experience! - Such an awesome tour, and Richard was a great guide! I can't say enough good things about this trip. He was so knowledgeable and shared some great stories with us from his time on set. The tour itself was beautiful and paced very well. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone (even those who aren't fans / haven't watched a single GoT episode, as the views on this tour alone are worth it) - we can't wait to come back and sign up for the Winterfell trek!

Scenic and fun tour - Our tour guide Richard was phenomenal. He was a storyteller and host extraordinaire. The tour showcases some beautiful spots in the coast. Day worth every penny and minute. Thanks for the memories
