This unique tour provides an incredible first hand insight in to the filming of Game of Thrones® and gets you out to see the numerous amazing filming locations. Flip, your guide and driver, was a stand in actor for both The Mountain and Hodor. He also is a local from the north coast and will take you to many under-the-radar and off the beaten-track filming locations–the places most fans of the show do not get to see. Flip also studied the Environmental Sciences due to his love of the area. He can explain the dramatic landscape formations and scenery that are home to the filming locations - the real-world Westeros!

Well all I can say is wow, my wife and I had organised a trip to Antrim with the kid's and decided to bring my parents, my mother is a massive game of thrones fan so after a bit of research we found that giant tours with its excellent reviews was the right choice, and its times like this you need to thank trip advisor for its wealth of information because we had one of the best times ever on a trip in Ireland and we are from Ireland. Flip is the most genuine and good natured tour guide we have ever come across his actual love for Ballycastle and all the surrounding natural beauty spots really show through which makes it so enjoyable. He really gave us a great experience and a day of memories and made our little trip to Antrim one that will be hard to beat. I'm from Dublin and honestly didn't really know how beautiful Antrim is, Flip showed us some amazing sites and had great knowledge of the whole area so I would truly recommend a visit. 100%

If you're in Northern Ireland you MUST go to Giants Causeway. This is an Iconic landmark and a must see. However if you go, make sure to take the bus back up the hill, it's a long walk.

Frank was an exceptional tour guide that provided a completely customized tour of the causeway coastal route and a personal, very insightful tour of the Belfast Peace Wall and the Troubles. Frank is an educated guide who’s personal experience in the area adds fully to the experience. His personal knowledge of the region meant a tour that was well off the beaten track and full of historic gems that we had never heard of. All stops included a rich history of the area that is backed up with resources and fact! As well, there was a bit of myth thrown in for fun! The highlight of the day was wrapped up in an impactful tour of the Peace Walls, shared with understanding and perspective. We’ll be back for more history when time permits. You will not be disappointed.
