Best Birthday EVER - We did a private tour with Richard for my friend's birthday and we had the most INCREDIBLE time. Not only was he a great tour guide, he's just a great guy! We spent the entire day together and the conversations about anything and everything never stopped. We were originally scheduled to do the group bus tour, but it was unfortunetly canceled (they were very nice about trying to book us on an alternate tour) but I'm so glad that we had the chance to do the private tour instead. I would do this tour again in a HEARTBEAT and would reccomend this to EVERYONE who is a GOT fan!

Winterfell Trek with Robbie the Archer - What an incredible experience for any Game of Thrones fan! Our guide Robbie's genuine passion shone through as he shared personal experiences as an extra and how the show shaped Belfast's community. The locations were beautiful and historically fascinating beyond just being GOT filming sites. As a longtime fan, I got emotional seeing Winterfell, Castle Frey, and the northern forests in person. Robbie was funny, upbeat, and high-energy throughout, eagerly answering questions, discussing fan theories, and sharing North Ireland's history. I absolutely loved this tour and plan to book the Iron Islands tour if I return. The North remembers :)

Brilliant day for true fans. - We went on 13th August tour. Our guide Robbie was brilliant entertained us with stories from his time working as an extra. He was very informative about the sites we visited. John our driver was lovely and we were in safe hands with him at the wheel. Brilliant day leaving us ready to start watching the series from the beginning again. Would recommend it to all fans. Will hopefully do the Antrim coast tour soon.

Best Game of Thrones Tour - Our guide Robbie was great. A true Game of Thrones nerd with huge knowledge of the series, in which he himself starred as an extra and can tell exciting background information. The best guide I've ever had and I've done a lot of tours.

A fabulous tour despite the rain! - Despite having the only rainy day in April 😂 the Winterfell tour was amazing! Robbie was very knowledgeable and shared his GoT experiences with us and brought the locations to life with a (soggy) picture board and great sense of humour! The lunch at The Barn was also outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Belfast. Thanks, David & Julie 👏😎

Although initially only our second choice, it turned out to be an absolute hit!! - Originally, we wanted to do the Iron Islands tour, as the landscape really appealed to us. However, two days before the tour, we received an email saying that due to the guide falling ill, we could either reschedule, cancel, or switch to the Winterfell tour. Apparently, my email reply didn’t go through, so contact was made via WhatsApp instead. In the end, we did the Winterfell tour and were absolutely thrilled! Robbie, our guide, was fantastic – he told us a lot about the filming, was extremely friendly and helpful, and really tailored the experience to us. We saw so many interesting things and had a lot of fun! The lunch was also very good and served in a pleasant atmosphere. All in all, we would definitely recommend it. Even as non-native speakers, we could understand everything very well. Also, compliments to the excellent bus driver (Paul?), who clearly knows his craft!

Unforgettable - We toured "Winterfell" from Belfast, with Richard "the Wildling". Although the tour is in English only, you can understand it even if you are not bilingual. If you're a fan of Game of Thrones it's a must-see. It’s not just a walk through locations, it’s a complete experience through the locations where our favorite series was shot, guided by an expert, fan like us and extra of the series. Speak with knowledge and place you at the exact point, combining words with videos and images, so that understanding and placement in the scenes is total. In addition, the places visited are beautiful. I'll take the memories of a beautiful day, I'll never forget.

Fantastic tour - Would have given the tour 5 stars, which it should have got, but the trip from Belfast was cancelled, so was offered to join the tour from Dublin at the first stop, but had to make my own way to Newcastle Co Down, and from Downpatrick at the end, but the tour operator was fantastic, gave full instructions on which bus to catch and where from on Belfast to Newcastle, there booked me a taxi for the short trip to Tollymore Forest to meet with Dublin tour, we did all the same stops, just in reverse order, are guide Robbie was fantastic and he has starred in Game of Thrones and played several roles, so knows his stuff, told us loafs of details and showed us pictures and videos of clips from the series and how they looked on screen to what you see in real life. Tollymore Forest is very beautiful and a must see, even if you are not a fan of Game of Thrones, you get your monies worth here, tour does involve a good bit of walking, but the many stops you make while the guide gives you information about the scenes filmed, gives you a break, if I ever come back to Ireland would definitely do this tour again

Canceled days before with no notification and poor excuse. - It was canceled a couple days before it was scheduled. They were unable to notify me and they claimed it was due to an illness. If it really was an illness they wouldn’t have been able to cancel so far in advance and they would have been able to get another guide. They were still running other tours. I suspect my tour didn’t get enough people and it was canceled so save them the cost with the poor turnout. It would have been better if they just told the truth or had a more believable explanation.
