Beautiful day out and definitely worth paying the tickets to park use the facilities and get a guided tour or go it alone take the recorded tour. Read a few reviews about people saying to not pay and park on the road etc but I saw lots of cars with parking tickets and just thought cmon pay for the tickets (13 each) and support a local heritage site. Such a stunning place to visit and the guided tour was lovely great to get the story and some facts on the visit and definitely worth the money.

The beautiful land of Ireland. I vlogged this spectecular island top to bottom in and out of every field, road and hill! This location is based along the coast, presents a beautiful array of hexagonal patterend stones and comes with a quirky Irish tale. If you are looking a spot to quick back for the sun going down. This is it. Visited during lockdown - super time to go, very quiet.

Being a travel agent we booked the service with this company however they did not do everything as promised. We first had an issue with the transfer and then it turned out they did not purchase the entrance tickets as we agreed and more importantly paid for. That was a year ago but we are still waiting for our refund but the company does not seem to care about that all. Horrible and not client oriented at all!

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.

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!

In difficult COVID-19 times our family of 3 enjoyed an excellent tour with Gerard in his 7 seater Mercedes with treats! He made sure that we were safe, that we had the best views and that we could make the most of our day. We were so lucky with the weather and enjoyed the coast as well as the Giants Causeway and Game of Thrones locations. We loved the stories and chat and wish we could pack Gerard every time that we go on holiday!

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!
