- gingerbreadc20240 contributionsFantastic day out in Stark countryBrilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Andrew is on it as soon as those coach doors close. Never a dull moment for the entire tour. Great locations, amazing scenery and great links to the show. Dressing up in the Stark cloaks has finally convinced my wife to start watching it!!! ++++++++++++++Written 21 December 2024
- thomasdV8719NJ0 contributionsBrilliant tour with the Other Ser DavosThis tour was a surprise 60th birthday trip for my wife, we are both GoT fans, so I arranged a private tour with Adrian. Adrian is really friendly and an excellent guide and having served as an extra on the series, and a stand in for Ser Davos, he gave us great insights to the series. We visited the studios, and then took two days to do the Winterfell tour south of Belfast and the Iron Islands tour north of Belfast. The tour was a great reason for seeing some stunning countryside including the Causeway coastal route, and we even managed to fit in a visit to the Giants Causeway. Adrian's use of still pictures and video clips of the scenes filmed at the various locations we visited was inspired, they really brought the locations alive for us. We had a bit of fun in role play with swords and costumes as well. we enjoyed a fabulous three days - many thanks Adrian !Written 12 November 2024
- Lizmazzo0 contributionsBrilliant Winterfell trek. A must for any Stark fan!Splashed out on Richard the Wilding’s private tour of the South for our son who is GoT obsessed! It was AMAZING. Richard is a genuine, beautiful human with the knowledge and experience of being an extra on the show. We gained a real insight into the making of GoT. The locations were particularly stunning with the autumn leaves. In addition to this he was open to sharing his own and that of his family’s experiences of growing up in Northern Ireland. He indulged our love of Van Morrison’s music too by sharing some stories, and our route took us through some of the places he sang about in ‘Coney Island’. We stopped for a delicious lunch and pint of Guinness in The Barn in Saul. We made some wonderful memories on this tour. Thank you Richard.Written 1 November 2024
- jeremysH4707SR0 contributionsA Memorable & Must Do with the Best!The entire process from pre-booking to finalizing the itinerary based off our personal situation was smooth and thorough. Richard was incredibly responsive and catered to our needs from pick up to drop off. He drove quite a distance to where we were staying at and dropped us off at a different location from that pick up, with our bags we flew with. For a couple, the Audi A6 was very comfortable in the back, there was a good amount of background music and information from Richard as we drove to our locations and for any restroom stops he was flexible. For all tour locations, Richard spent time with photos, a portable speaker and a tablet that portrayed the location we were in, the significance and how it was seen in real life compared to on film. In addition; he had props that added to the immersion, which was a topic he focused on greatly and made the tour much more engaging and memorable. We opted to do the Winterfell Trek which included 2x Treks which were about 90 min each, a visit to Inch Abbey, Winterfell Castle & Castle Ward, Tollymore Forest. We had a lunch break in the middle and had many photos taken by Richard at the stops; and wherever we wanted a photo Richard was there for us. The entire time Richard was mindful and engaging to us and everything felt safe and natural. He coined it a perfect way which we will end the review with, "It was like 3 friends hanging out to go see places" We highly recommend Richard and his Private Tour!Written 28 October 2024
- adrianmz20190 contributionsAmazing tour guyI want to start by saying that our tour guy was amazing. He was an extra on the show, he was very knowledgeable and funny; we tour on September 28th. Now, our original tour was the Winterfell Trek from Belfast but got cancel because that tour guy got sick. The company gave us three options: to move us to the Iron Islands & Giant's Causewway, to move us to the next week's tour, or to give us a full refund. We chose the first option; to fo the Iron Islands tour. My issue is that in the email it said we were gonna be offer wool Start cloaks and Iron Island costumes both, but once there, they only had the Iron Island costumes. I asked our tour guy and he said they only have the Iron Island costumes. My whole point on going into this tour was that I wanted a picture with those cloaks , and got nothing. We met the private tour guy at the Dark hedges and he had those cloak costumes but since we were not part of that tour (which is own by the same agency) we couldn't use them even we were promise we would have the option to. Again, the only reason I am giving 3 stars is because our tour guy was amazing and make the whole tour worth it.Written 14 October 2024
- katman50 contributionsGreat, awesome and very knowledgeableRichard, did an amazing job. It was awesome that he played scenes of him in some of the clips. and all the information about how they shot some of the scenes. And being able to wear theWritten 13 October 2024
- lisatX8505OU0 contributionsBest guide ever!!My group was booked on the group tour however due to illness we got upgraded to a private tour with Richard. He made our day! the tour was so much fun, and we so enjoyed all the location and learning more about the Game of Thorns. He was funny, entertaining and a pleasure to be with. I recommend you taking his tour you won't be disappointed.Written 10 October 2024
- ElleEames0 contributionsAn Amazing Game of Thrones TourDo this tour. It was so cool. Not only do you get to see Game of Thrones shooting locations, but you also get to see lovely Ireland. Richard was a delight. It was extra special to get insight from an extra on the show. This made our day stress free and wonderful. We definitely want to come back and do the Winterfell trek. We did the Iron Islands route this time.Written 6 October 2024
- ladylee19790 contributionsGame of Thrones FanWhat a fantastic way to visit all the filming locations plus the Giants Causeway this is a full day 7am to 5pm approx and well worth the money top marks for the driver navigating those steep hills lol and the guide was so knowledgeable with a few hidden secrets from the show all i would say is there is extra cost on top of the trip eg your pub meal is not inc and then you have your parking for the day which is extra the tour did feel rushed eg 90 mins or so to get down to the giants causeway take a few pics and get back up top on a very slow electric bus lol which is extra cost and gutted the castle stop wasn't inc for a look around so final thoughts great way to see everything and well worth the money however if your wanting more time to explore then your best taking yourself thanks again to the tour guide and driver :) a bit of walking involved so if you struggle be mindful xWritten 2 October 2024
- O1852WAjp0 contributionsRichard from the Game of Thrones private tour was amazing!This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. It was a long day but well worth it. Richard was an extra on the movie and does an amazing job of showing you all the sights and all about the Game of Thrones scenery and scenes. We saw so many beautiful sights and the coastline was so beautiful! We stopped for lunch at a really fun pub with good food and had a fantastic time. Richard was professional but so friendly and knowledgeable about Northern Ireland and Game of Thrones movie trivia and made it so fun! Thanks Richard!Written 1 October 2024
- ladylee19790 contributionsCancelled Due To SicknessI cant actually comment on this trip as the trip got cancelled 2 days prior due to sickness however i can comment that we were offered a full refund, reschedule or to swop onto the Iron Islands tour instead due to our short trip to Belfast i decided to swop onto the Iron Islands instead bit gutted we were offered the Winterfell clothing to wear on the Iron tour but we didn't get offered the clothing so had to wear Iron born instead as an avid House Stark fan it felt like a bit of a let down from a fan point of view as i was really looking forward to seeing Winterfell and the Dire Wolves however the Islands tour made up for it as i was only staying for 5 days i had planned everything in advance so had to juggle a few things maybe next time Belfast xWritten 30 September 2024
- 938marcos200 contributionsA Truly Unforgettable Game of Thrones Birthday Weekend!I had planned a full Game of Thrones-themed weekend in Belfast to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, as she’s a huge fan of the show. The highlight was supposed to be the Winterfell Trek tour, but two days before the tour, I received an email from Rob at Game of Thrones Tours informing us that the guide was ill and the tour had to be canceled. He offered two alternative options—another Game of Thrones bus tour or a similar experience starting from Dublin.However, after I shared that the entire weekend was centered around Game of Thrones and that it was my girlfriend’s birthday, Rob went above and beyond by offering us a private tour! This incredible gesture completely turned the situation around and made our weekend even more special.The next day, we were picked up by Richard the Wildling in his Audi A6, and after discussing our options, we decided to head north to explore not only Game of Thrones filming locations but also the stunning natural beauty of Northern Ireland. We visited iconic spots like the Giant’s Causeway, the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, and many other breathtaking locations that I didn’t even know were part of the itinerary. Richard’s knowledge of the show and the local area was unmatched. My girlfriend was beyond thrilled, especially getting to see not just the filming locations but also the incredible landscapes of Ireland. Richard gave us all the time we needed to explore each location, take photos, and truly experience the magic of both the show and the Irish countryside. It felt like we had the best of both worlds—a personalized Game of Thrones tour and a scenic adventure through some of the most beautiful spots in Northern Ireland. The fact that Rob and Richard arranged this private experience because it was my girlfriend’s birthday, speaks volumes about their customer service. They turned what could have been a letdown into an unforgettable experience that made the weekend absolutely perfect. If you’re considering a Game of Thrones tour, I can't recommend them enough. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and we’re already looking forward to returning for another adventure. Thank you so much to Rob, Richard, and the entire team for an amazing day!Written 29 September 2024
- ViknRich0 contributionsThe best GOTs TourThere are lots of companies that offer what they may call Game of Thrones tours but none of them offer a real life Wilding extra to escort you as GOTs Tours do. We went on a private tour with Richard and it was the absolute highlight of our trip. His knowledge and passion for the show really shone through. We visited some stunning locations that were put into context with the aid of visuals and storytelling. We were always a jump ahead of the other coaches so got some fabulous photos without hundreds of other people in them, these guys really know what they are doing.Written 27 September 2024

Me and my sister did the private tour and it was nothing short of amazing! Robbie Atkinson was our guide, an extra from the show ( barathian archer ) .
He was such a fun and amazing tour guide that had such a passion for what he does and it really shows and makes the tour that much more enjoyable.
He really went above and beyond with all the extra local knowledge and history that was really interesting.
We had lunch in a lovely little pub called the barn and the food was delicious! Recommend the open prawn sandwich! The locations are stunning and the capes and replica swords from the show are a great little extra that just adds to the fun!
Honestly can't speak highly enough of the whole experience.... if you're wondering.... stop .... book it! You won't be disappointed!

Our tour guide Robbie was great!
The tour was very informative and fun. We couldn’t have done it without a guide - there’s no way we would have found the locations ourselves and we would have missed out on things.
Seeing the spot where the Starks find the Direwolf pups was the highlight for me.
It was fun getting photos in a Stark cloak with Longclaw (Jon Snow’s sword) - it’s good to go full geek.
Thanks for the great tour Robbie!

Hi Billy,
Thanks for a great review for our Tollymore Forest Trek with Robbie as guide! You're quite right, it would be very hard to find the exact film locations in the forest without a guide. Great to hear your went full immersive with the Stark cloaks and Longclaw. Again, thanks for taking the time to write this review, we really appreciate it. The North Remembers! 🙏🐺⚔️

We came from Dublin and had 3 places on the list. Tollymore forest was last on the list, but the best. It’s one of my favourite forests from now on. Absolutely spectacular views. Huge car park, land so well looked after. Can’t wait to get back.

Hi Jurgita,
Thanks for a great review for our Tollymore Forest Trek. We agree, Tollymore with the autumn colours is truly magical. It's the perfect film location for the Wolfswood in the north of Westeros especially at this time of year ⚔️

Firstly I just want to thank Brian for making our experience so immersive and enjoyable - he told us really interesting stories about the part he had in Game of Thrones. The tour guide made the trip!! The sights and the whole tour though was unbelievable. I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I did, even after reading such good reviews but now im trying to leave the best one i can! I have absolutely fell in love with Belfast/Northern Ireland and this is one of the reasons why. I can see why its called the emerald isles! If you’re thinking of going i 110% recommend you to! I only got home this morning and I already want to go back. Me and my 3 friends had the best time - it was fun, adventurous and breathtaking. I didnt know Northern Ireland was so beautiful! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

Hi Francesca,
Wow!! What an awesome review!! We are thrilled you and your friends had such a great time touring Westeros with Brian. The Northern Irish landscapes are beautiful and a Game of Thrones tour is an excellent way to see some of the countryside.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon, maybe a Winterfell tour on your next visit ;-)

Hi Stan,
Thanks for a great review and we are delighted the 2 in your group who have never seen GoT still enjoyed the cloaks in Tollymore Forest. The park is indeed breathtaking, old growth oak forest like our ancient forests and soon the glorious autumn colours :)
