My daughter and I had an amazing day with Robbie the excellent guide and Philip the excellent driver! Robbie had loads of stories from his time as an extra on GoT and gave us so much detail about behind the scenes. It was wonderful to see some of the places where filming had been done. This tour was great value and we would love to do the Studio tour and Iron Islands tour next time we go to Belfast.

I want to write a long detailed review as though how good the trip was, but honestly it can be explained in a few words: Excellent, Flawless and Wonderful. Our guide for the trip, I believe the name was Richie (I could be wrong) was so full of life! Properly enthusiastic in his passion, he delivered every information with charm and wit. I loved that he mentioned his experience on the working set of Game Of Thrones. it made the trip more personal, and may I add, more enjoyable! You can really connect to the world of GOT by just walking straight into it yourself, and come out with information a whole fandom would kill to know. What made this trip, in my opinion unique, is even though Game of Thrones is the theme of this tour, we get to know more of Belfast. He ensured us to know brief things about past history from places we drove past, and had us glued to his attention for the whole ride. Before I end this little review, I want to give a proper thanks to the bus driver of this tour, Philipp (I believe his name is). Thank you for driving us, had a good and safe time on the bus! Thank you so much for this experience, it is a memory I will cherish into old age. Sincerest, A fan

This was a fabulous tour! If you're a true Game of Thrones fan, you do not want to miss this. Andrew was an incredible guide who was extremely entertaining and a brilliant GOT expert. This tour included so many great stops, and I loved seeing the clips played at each location to remind us of the exact scenes. I would absolutely recommend this tour to solo travelers, couples, friends or literally anyone who wants to immerse further in the GOT characters and stories. I loved hearing about Andrew's personal experiences and connection to the series!!

Let's start with the tour. I did both the Winterfell and Iron Islands tours and both were equally brilliant. Guided by actual extras from the show, they not only pointed out popular film sites from the show, but the background info on their experiences in helping make the show took the tour to a whole new level. Richard (guide for Iron Islands) and Andrew and Lar (guides for Winterfell) kept us entertained the entire time. They provided insight into the show as well as Irish culture in between stops and helped everyone have the best experience possible. You could easily tell they enjoyed their job guiding us through the Game of Thrones realm. They gave us cloaks, swords and shields for great photos, took photos of us with their cameras as well as our own cameras and even shared the photos they had taken on their own phones with us! Personally, I had a few problems getting these tours done (through NO fault of the company or it's employees). I had signed up for both tours. The day before I flew from the States, I got an e-mail from Rob the Tour Director saying that my guide for the Saturday Winterfell tour tested positive for Covid. He gave me several options to choose from (including a full refund, but I chose to reverse the tours I had signed up for and go to the Iron Islands on Saturday and Winterfell on Wednesday. The Saturday tour was great as expected and even included the Giant's Causeway as well as the GoT sights. On Wednesday, the weather forecast didn't look good for us (Hurricane Agnes remnants), but the tour van showed up as scheduled and off we went. We got through the morning portion (Castle Ward/ Inch Abbey) without a problem, but by lunch we were informed that due to high winds, Tollymore Forest was closed. Richard told us that Director Rob would refund us for half the cost that we were unable to complete. They took us back to Belfast and I contacted Rob to see if I could catch the Saturday Winterfell tour so I could complete it rather than get my refund. The Winterfell tour out of Belfast was booked full, but he told me a way I could catch their Winterfell tour out of Dublin that same day! Although it took three tries, Rob went out off his way to ensure that I could complete both tours I had booked! I NEVER expected to see customer service like that ever in my lifetime! Most companies would simply say something like " Sorry, it's out of our control", keep the cash and wave good-bye. Not this company! As great as the tour was, it was the director, the guides and even the drivers that I will remember most! They all went out of their way to give their customers the best experience possible - even at their own expense! I cannot speak highly enough for this company, it's service and the incredible tours that they offer.

On this tour we had Robbie as a guide, another great guide who was an extra on the show. He told us so many awesome stories from his time on the set and just random GoT related stories. So much fun to hear! Another amazing time with GoT tours, I can only recommend this tour and the Iron Islands one, so much! You are in for an amazing time with lots of info! No dull guide sightseeing for sure! Tollymore was such a great catch for the eye! If I ever come to Belfast again, I would do both tours again as it is just too much fun and you get to see all these. great locations along the road !!!

I went on this trip with my grown up son and daughter ( both GOT fans) as part of my birthday present. From the moment we got onto the coach we knew this would be a wonderful day . Mainly due to our guide Andy McClay. He was excellent in every way, telling tales from the GOT sets, sharing his vast knowledge of the show , and having us in stitches most of the time. Andy was an extra in 5 seasons of GOT and we got to see him in action many times, using his photos and videos. The locations were amazing and it was great to actually be where the scenes were shot , with Andy telling us plenty of inside information at each. For any GOT fan this day trip is a must! Great fun all day with a few surprises along the way. Then of course a GOT episode playing on the journey back to Belfast! Brilliant!

I liked seeing the first two sites including Winterfell site. However it’s really a misnamed tour , because it’s two 1 mile walks to see any other sites after the bus lets you off. I had to opt out to go on the walks due to health issues but was told most of it was just walking to a site of trees or some rocks . The guide would tell them what scene took place there. I was with two family members- one liked it and the other was sos-so about it. The guide was enthusiastic about his job. I will say the lunch place - The Barn was a very good choice.

We had a great time in this tour with Robbie the Archer et Bob the driver. Great anecdotes throughout and great organisation with a lot of enthousiasm from the guide without negativity towards some of the stragglers. Probably not as breathtaking as the Giant's causeway, but still worth every pound spent for this awesom day in nature.

What an incredible experience for any Game of Thrones fan! Our guide, Robbie, spoke about the series in a way that showcased his genuine passion for it, sharing his personal experiences as an extra and how the show shaped the community of Belfast. The places we went were so beautiful and historically interesting in their own right in addition to being filming locations for big moments in GOT. As a longtime fan, I got emotional seeing Winterfell, castle Frey, and the forests of the north in person. Robbie was so funny, upbeat, and high-energy throughout, always willing to answer any and all questions, geek out about fan theories, and talk us through other parts of North Ireland's history. I absolutely loved this tour, and plan to book the Iron Islands tour if I'm ever back in the area. The North remembers :)

Super fun and interesting tour. Our guide, Andrew was filled with enthusiasm and passion as he spoke of the sites used for various scenes and also added a personal touch by telling us of his experiences as an extra! The tour allowed us to not only be immersed into Westeros (specifically the North and Riverlands), but also allowed us to discover bits of Northern Ireland that we wouldn't have known of otherwise! We will definitely be back for the Iron Islands tour as we have such an amazing time on our day!

The tour was amazing, our guide Andrew was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour. The energy and enthusiasm was great, even at 8am!! Couldn’t recommend this tour more and definitely a must do for GOT fans. Thanks again, we’ll definitely be back for the iron islands tour!

Robbie the Archer kept us thoroughly entertained with his witty recounts of his experience as a GoT extra. We saw great sights and also beautiful nature on the short walks we did. I now have a greater appreciation of how the show is created. Highly recommend.

Our experience with the Winterfell Trek from Belfast was AMAZING! Robbie the Archer was such an incredible resource for all things Game of Thrones. To be in the same locations where the filming occurred is an absolute MUST for any GoT fan. We appreciated Robbie's firsthand account of what it was like to be on set and his enthusiasm for tour after tour has not seemed to diminish any based on all of the other positive reviews. We would absolutely come back to Northern Ireland and do this all over again! Thank you to Ricardo for getting us from A to B safely. Thank you Robbie for such an incredible day!

Robbie was hands down one of the best guides on any tour we've ever been on. He was friendly and energetic and just excited to talk with us about game of thrones and share his vast trove of unique experiences and personal knowledge with us. Every location we went he would share knowledge from the filming and add his personal experiences as an extra which made each location come alive in a exciting and immersive way. I can't recommend this tour enough for the inspiring locations and the Robbie's incredible guide skills.

As an extra on the show, Robbie knew A LOT about Game of Thrones. He shared his experiences with us engagingly & enthusiastically and is very pleasant to listen to. The tour was wonderful with the cloaks, shields and banners, but really Robbie made the day. Tollymore Forest Park is absolutely beautiful and I would love to go back there sometime. Overall, a great trip! Definitely worth a visit if you like GOT and would like to see more of the beautiful Northern-Ireland.

I love GOT and the tour was amazing, but my favourite part was the energy of our guide Robbie. How he maintained this incredible enthusiasm for over 8 hours is mind blowing. Great tour and would definitely recommend.

Let me say first that I am not a huge GOT fan. my friends are and they talked me into going with them on the tour. With that said, even if you are a casual fan you will enjoy this tour. The scenery was amazing, great facts and behind the scenes info about the show, and the highlight was our tour guide, Robbi. He puts so much into making sure everyone was having a good time and now I want to go back and watch it again.

This tour is a must if you are a GOT fan. Our tour guide Robbie the archer was our guide and he used to be an extra in season 2 as he mentioned with proof of his pictures too which is really cool. The tour was a great experience as Robbie was a very nice guide. He always makes sure we were complete. There was once that we were left of becasue we were busy taking photos that we missed his explanations about that place, but then he waited and explained it again for us. We appreciated him a lot. The winterfell trekking tour was amazing. You would really feel and see the beauty of Northern Ireland and of course you would really greatly immersed in the GOT experience. Hail to the king of the north!!
