Imagine wandering through the rugged landscape of Northern Ireland, where scenes from Game of Thrones come to life. For fans and curious travelers alike, this private tour offers an intimate journey through some of the show’s most iconic locations. Led by the personable and knowledgeable “Other Ser Davos”—who worked as an extra and photo double for Ser Davos—this day-long adventure combines breathtaking scenery, authentic film-site visits, and personalized touches to make your trip unforgettable.

At a cost of $828.14 for up to four people, this tour provides private transportation, flexible itinerary options, and the chance to see multiple filming sites in a single day. The tour lasts around 10 to 11 hours, making it a full day of exploration, photo opportunities, and storytelling. What makes this experience stand out are the expert insights from someone who actually worked on the show and the variety of locations visited—from the haunting Dark Hedges to the dramatic Giant’s Causeway.

Two aspects we particularly appreciate are the attention to detail—such as metal swords and replica costumes for photos—and the ability to customize your itinerary. A potential consideration is the price point, which might seem high for some, but given the personalized service and access to multiple locations, many find the value well worth it.

The Itinerary Breakdown: What Makes Each Stop Special

Ballygally Castle Hotel
Your day begins with a scenic 40-minute drive from Belfast, leading to this historic castle. Here, you’ll find Door No. 9 from the Doors of Thrones Collection, a perfect first stop to get into the Game of Thrones mood. The castle’s historic charm combined with the show’s props creates a fun and atmospheric start. The admission is free, so the focus is on the location itself and its cinematic relevance.

This stop offers a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship behind the jewelry seen in the series. The short, 30-minute visit is free of charge and adds a tangible connection to the show’s details.

Murlough Bay & Fair Head
Arguably the most visually stunning part of the tour, this area has served as a filming backdrop for several scenes. It’s where Stannis and Renly Baratheon confront each other on horseback, making it a significant plot point. The dramatic cliffs and sweeping views make it one of the most memorable stops—and you’ll understand why it’s often called the “most beautiful stop” by travelers. Expect about an hour here, soaking in the scenery and snapping photos.

Carnlough Harbour
A quaint harbor where Arya Stark made her dramatic escape on limestone steps, this location transports you into some of the show’s tense moments. It’s an atmospheric, quieter spot that gives a sense of the show’s more intimate, character-driven scenes.

Cushendun Caves
The dark, atmospheric caves are where Melisandre gives birth to her shadow spirit—an unforgettable scene. The caves’ eerie feel makes this stop truly immersive. The guide might test how well you remember its role in Season 8, making it a fun quiz for fans. Expect about 50 minutes here, enough to appreciate the rugged beauty and cinematic importance.

Ballintoy Harbour
This is the big highlight—the Iron Islands come alive here. Visitors can try on replica costumes, hold metal swords, and get into the Greyjoy spirit. The rocky beach, with its haunting scenery, is the perfect backdrop for photos and a taste of the show’s gritty maritime world. The guide’s enthusiasm and local knowledge make this stop particularly engaging.

Lunch Break at The Fullerton Arms
Just a five-minute drive from the harbor, this cozy local pub offers a well-deserved break and a chance to enjoy authentic Northern Irish fare. You’ll spend about an hour here, feeding both body and curiosity about local life.

Giant’s Causeway (Optional)
For those with extra time, the UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-see. Its unique hexagonal basalt columns make for striking photos and a walk that feels like stepping into a mythic landscape. While admission isn’t included, the visit can be tailored to your interests and schedule.

The Dark Hedges
End the day with a visit to this iconic avenue of 247-year-old beech trees, made famous by its appearance in Season 2. The twisting branches form a natural tunnel, perfect for a stroll or photos. It’s a fitting, atmospheric conclusion to the tour before heading back to Belfast.
