Meet in the morning in central Belfast. Your tour will take you to the North where fantasy and reality meet. The tour is led by a guide who has appeared in the show and share anecdotes about the show, the locations visited and take you deep into the heart of Westeros. 

The first stop is at a location from season six where Arya falls in the water after being stabbed. You will then head off to the caves where Red Priestess Melisandre of Asshai gave birth to her murderous shadow assassin. Remember that the night is dark and full of terrors.

A crucial part of any trip to Northern Ireland is to see the UNESCO–listed Giant’s Causeway. Although it hasn’t been featured in Game of Thrones, the spectacular site is a must see, and you’ll have roughly 1.5 hours to explore.

Following this you’ll have time for a quick photo stop at Dunluce Castle, the 17th century ruins that were used as the exterior of the House of Greyjoy on the show.

Lunch (at own expense) will be taken in the small coastal town of Ballycastle, hometown of actor Conleth Hill, who plays Varys, Master of Whisperers, and Michelle Fairley, who played Catelyn Stark.

Your journey continues with a visit to the camp of Renly Baratheon of Storm’s End, and gives you the chance to cross the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge.

The journey back to Belfast includes one final stop at the Dark Hedge, with its natural archway of intertwined trees. The road is one of Northern Ireland’s most photographed locations and the place where Arya Stark dressed as a boy to escape from King’s Landing. Pose for pictures, then return to Belfast, where you will be dropped back in the center of the city.
