We had an amazing time with Fergal. This tour is perfectly paced and takes you to multiple hidden gems along the coastline. Fergal is a knowledgable and thoughtful tour guide who tailors the tour to your interests and always makes sure you’re comfortable. Having a private tour makes all the difference to seeing such a beautiful part of the country. Fergal knows how to avoid the crowds and always provided fascinating and engaging commentary. This tour is absolutely worth taking if you want to learn about Irish history, culture, and food off the ‘beaten track’. It’s an added bonus that Fergal takes excellent photos as well!

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!

Inclusions: Driver/guide, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Live commentary on board, Costumes and replica swords

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!

My husband and I are on our honeymoon! We wanted to do something special while we were in Belfast and had already seen many good things about this tour. We both had a marvelous time and couldn’t have been more happy with the entire tour! Phil was generous enough to provide extra gear if we needed it, he let us take our time when we got to the causeway so we didn’t feel rushed, and he made sure to make the tour appropriate to what we all wanted. Phil also was kind enough to go out of his way to suggest different eating places within the city and places to see since we had never visited. Beautiful scenery mixed with a kind tour guide was exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon!

If you're in Northern Ireland you MUST go to Giants Causeway. This is an Iconic landmark and a must see. However if you go, make sure to take the bus back up the hill, it's a long walk.

Our family of four had one of the best experiences we've had traveling around Ireland thanks to Henry. We booked Henry for 3 days and each day he gave us a comprehensive and highly enjoyable guide around different regions of Donegal. Henry is funny and extremely knowledgeable and we had such a wonderful time touring the county. We traveled in comfort and got to see views and visit places which simply are not accessible with large coaches or difficult on your own .Simply put, if you want to see Donegal, leave the car at the hotel and get in contact with Henry. Cannot recommend Henry's private tours highly enough.
