Our guide was great and because he himself played as an extra on GOT, he had a lot of insider information. You could look up the corresponding scene at each location using a tablet. That was great and so you could see directly what is real and what was technically added later. In addition, the landscape of Northern Ireland is gorgeous.

For fans of the series, certainly an unforgettable day! I suggest going with sneakers that can get wet and dirty, as the journey is all on a dirt road. It is also important to bring water and be prepared to walk all day.

Excellent tour! I enjoyed it a lot, our guide was fantastic and the places we visited were incredible, I totally recommend it. You have to walk a lot, so I recommend appropriate clothing and a raincoat in case it rains.

The tour was very entertaining, as well as having many details and audiovisual material. Grateful to take this tour, it was a day full of adventure and good vibes.

Amazing experience! Lar is a great guy and we enjoyed every bit of his tour! We’ve also encountered some horses that were actually in the show too!!
