Our guide Adrian worked as an extra on Game of Thrones® seasons 6, 7 and 8. He was a photo double for Ser Davos Seaworth! On this private car tour, Adrian will drive you in comfort. With his tablet he'll show you which scenes were filmed in which location and behind-the-scenes and VFX breakdowns to see how each scene was made. Adrian can take you north of Belfast to the real Iron Islands and all the locations north of Belfast along the Glens of Antrim and north coast. He has Iron Born costumes and swords as part of the tour at no extra cost. A private tour with Adrian aka 'the Other Ser Davos' is a day to remember, a genuinely authentic Thrones experience!

An excellent tour and out guide Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. As an extra for 4 seasons he had great stories to tell about filming and being part of Game of Thrones. You get great information about the sites you're visiting before you get there. The rope bridge wasn't accessible but we didn't just skip that, we went to Dunluce castle as an alternative and that was well worth visiting. Can't recommend this highly enough, it is a long day but it's entertainment all the way.

My wife and I did the Game Of Thrones tour with Gerald McGlade for our honeymoon, and it was 100% the best day of our 2 weeks in Europe. He picked us up with a smile, a bag of snacks, and an unbelievable wealth of knowledge; not only about GoT, but also about Northern Ireland in general. The true GoT fans MUST do the ultimate tour. You'll get to see all of the 7 kingdoms and hear some truly behind the scenes knowledge. I don't want to give away any of his secrets...so trust us when we say, not only will you get a knowledgeable guide, you will get to spend the day with another TRUE fan. On top of it all, he's super easy to talk too, and makes sure you get all of the photos you could want. He'll even help take them! If you are a true fan of GoT, don't waste your time with any other tour!! Go with Gerald ,the KING IN THE NORTH....ern Ireland!

If you are coming to Derry, and want to take a tour, take this one. Our guide Gleann was very informative and highly knowledgeable on the history of his City from its founding in 1603 (and before), right up to the modern day. Taking in the City Walls, and Derry Girls locations, we were then guided around Free Derry, the Murals, and the Bogside area, for a comprehensive and very personal tour of the history that lead to the Civil Rights protests, the 'Troubles', and then the Good Friday Agreement. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we were unable to visit some of Gleanns Museum, pub and music recommendations on this occasion, but hopefully we will be able to on our next visit.

Ser Davos aka Ser Adrian shared his immense knowledge about Game of Thrones with me while also giving me a huge help with my dissertation about film induced tourism. Wise and kind, just like the Ser Davos we know. Couldn’t recommend him more :)
