Beginning in Dublin City Centre, the Game of Thrones Tour from Dublin transports you to the world created by George RR Martin in A Song of Ice and Fire. However, before you reach your first destination, your guide will regale you with Irish history and legends as you pass through the verdant countryside.
From £65 per person
After stopping for coffee and snacks, you will be treated to some of the most iconic filming locations from the GOT TV series. Walk along the real-life Kings Road at the famous Dark Hedges.
This tour will also make a stop at one of Northern Ireland’s most beloved landmarks: Giants Causeway. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-see for any visitor. Created by a volcanic eruption, the landscape of Giants Causeway boasts 40,000 striking, hexagonal basalt columns.
While here you will learn about the history of the area, as well as the local legends associated with it. This is also the perfect place to get some memorable holiday snaps! With breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, it makes for a great photo opportunity.
But that’s not the only place you’ll have a reason to take out your camera. As you travel, you will be treated to picturesque views as you drive through the Glens of Antrim. This is one of the most beautiful parts of Northern Ireland!
The tour will then stop at Ballintoy Harbour. This idyllic coastal location features as the Pyke harbour Lordsport. We see Theon Greyjoy sail into this port when he returns home to the Iron Islands.
After Ballintoy Harbour we will visit Larrybane Quarry. Larrybane Quarry is the site of Renly Baratheon’s Camp before he got killed by the Shadow Prince and also where Margaery and Renly watched Brienne of Tarth fight Ser Loras Tyrell. Larrybane is one of the most sheltered locations along the north coast.
Lastly, you will get a chance to explore Belfast City Centre. Wander along its busy shopping streets and take in its historic buildings, before getting back on the bus and returning to Dublin.

My family and I went on this tour last October 2019. We had a great time. Francesca and Sylvester were very good! Because we were in this tour, we didn’t need to worry about parking. They dropped us off and picked us up with ample time to look around. This way we got to see more places in just a day. They let you know how much time you have to look around and how much time til the next stop so you can plan your time. If you have limited time in Ireland, this is definitely a good tour for you!
The bus ride was comfortable. It had an overhead compartment for backpacks. The seat in front also had a pocket for more stuff you need. The bus did not have restrooms, but most of the stops did. From Dublin, our first stop was in Belfast where we bought lunch and snacks. And we also got dinner take out in Belfast before heading back to Dublin.
Francesca was informative and entertaining! We really enjoyed this tour!

The Nothern Ireland tour of Game of Thrones sites was great! Best way to spend the day. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Ireland.
It was great seeing and hearing about Ireland’s history.

I went on this tour in Feb 2020. We had so much fun! Kelvin the guide told us lots of behind-the-scene secrets. The locations themselves are stunningly beautiful! My friend booked this tour for us. I am not a big fan of the Game of Thrones but I still enjoyed the day. That is because the guide also told us a lot about Ireland and Northern Ireland. So it makes the tour more fun and more interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks again Kelvin!
