★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,291 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48Our pick

Leave Belfast at 8:30 a.m. with a driver-guide such as Patrick, Karl, or Paul for a full day along Northern Ireland’s coast. Visit Game of Thrones sites, Ballintoy, Dunluce Castle, and the Giant’s Causeway, with lunch and entry fees extra.

“Our driver/guide Paul was funny, knowledgeable, and a great driver on those narrow NI roads! He told great stories along the way, and kept our busload of people (25 of us) on time. Total tour duration from pick up to final dropoff was just under 10 hours if that helps with your planning (0830 to 1820). We had about 90 minutes of self-guided time at the Giant's Causeway which was enough time to hike the entire trail and back, if you're a medium fast walker. I either didn't know or didn't remember that a visit to Bushmill's distillery was included - great surprise! A lot of these Causeway tours look…”

“Our private tour to see the Giant's Causeway, Norman Castles, Bushmills Distillery and some Game of Thrones film locations was fabulous. The drive along the coast was gorgeous, and the Giant's Causeway was spectacular. By being in a private car, we were able to go places that the big tour buses weren't able to access. I would definitely recommend visiting the Bushmills distillery as well. If you don't like being a part of a big crowd all day, this private tour was definitely the way to go to see a beautiful part of the country.”

Unfortunately our tour guide was more interested in giving us his personal opinions of Irish/English history, critiques of other tour guides even approaching them while on our tour and the world in general. Half way through the tour I had wished we were matched with a different guide.”

Game of Thrones – Tollymore Forest Trek

15.Game of Thrones – Tollymore Forest Trek

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $13Best value

Join Robby at Tollymore Forest Park for a 90-minute walk to three Game of Thrones filming sites: the wildling pit, Tyrion and Jon’s campfire, and the direwolf bridge. Stark cloaks and rain ponchos are supplied. The tour is in English and limited to 20 people.

“Robby, our guide, lives and breathes GOT and he made the forest tour a 10/10 experience. It was great to walk around some iconic scenes & scenery for the series, full of extra bits of useful insight from Robby. The forest park itself is a beautiful, enchanting place recognised as a great backdrop (or the inspiration) for scenes in Games of Thrones and other amazing films also. It's fairly easy walking whilst listening, looking or taking photos, and at £10 it is very good value. I highly recommend Robby as a super guide and the tour itself as 5 star. Big Thanks Robby”
