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.

Being a fan of GOT it was always a dream for me to visit any of the location and its finally completed last year when i visited Game of Thrones Tours. Its a must visit place. The props looks very much really. Adrian was our tour guide & he looks exactly like Davos Seaworth a he was his body double.

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.

6. Saints & Spirits Day Tour from Belfast

Belfast City Hall, Donegall Square N, Belfast BT1 5GS, UK Condor Executive

If only every day could be a Saints & Spirits Day. You’ll reach out and touch the past, your emotions, and your senses too. This day is like an awakening, or a period of reflection where you will learn new things about Ireland and about yourself. It’s a time to step back from the rush of everyday life and explore the mystical, the moving and the inspired. As well as a journey by road, this is a journey inward. You’ll spend the day in the company of local people – your local driver, your local guide and local storytellers. Think of them as your family for the day. Between them, they’ll help you experience our history through their eyes. You’ll also feel the warm welcome that we’re known for. The places you’ll visit on this tour are moving, intriguing and stirring: the celestial heights of Saint Patrick’s life, the poignancy of The Somme, brisk winds as we cross Strangford Lough by ferry, the authentic craft of a local gin-maker and the complex fragrance of their artisan spirits.

Inclusions: Dedicated & experienced local driver, Dedicated & knowledgeable local storytelling guide, Private guided tours of Somme Heritage Centre, Down Cathedral & Echlinville Distillery, Ferry Crossing, Luxury Mini Coach, Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Lunch, Gratuities
