About This Tour

Tour description
See where Game of Thrones was filmed and visit Northern Ireland’s most famous natural wonder in one day. This full-day coach tour from Belfast follows the Antrim Coast to the north coast, mixing filming locations with castles, harbours and some of the best coastal scenery in the UK.
Your driver-guide knows the series and the area well. Between stops, they share behind-the-scenes filming stories, local history and the legends of the Glens of Antrim.
The day starts at Carrickfergus Castle, a Norman fortress on Belfast Lough. You then drive the Antrim Coast Road past Ballygally and Glenarm castles and through the villages of Cushendall, Glenariff and Cushendun. At Carnlough Harbour, stand where Arya Stark crawled out of the canals of Braavos in Season 6.
Further along the coast, look out over the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge from the viewpoint. Then walk the Dark Hedges, the beech-lined avenue that became the Kingsroad, where there’s also time to buy lunch or eat your own.
The highlight of the day is the UNESCO-listed Giant’s Causeway. You get free time to explore its 40,000 basalt columns, formed about 60 million years ago, or, as local legend has it, built by the giant Finn McCool. The last stop is Dunluce Castle, whose clifftop ruins stood in for the House of Greyjoy, before you return to Belfast around 6pm.

Great tour guide. We had Troy for our guide. He was great. Very knowledgeable on a lot of different history in Ireland. Very fun and loves talking to everyone. Anyone else who gets to go on a tour with Troy will get a great driver, guide, comedian and a great person as well.

Bring back Bushmills This is a good tour. Dave, our driver, was fantastic. What I didn’t like about the tour was the fact that we were taken to two ruined castles and we were not taken to the Bushmills distillery. If people don’t want to go inside Bushmills they don’t have to but one ruined castle is plenty in one day and a visit to Bushmills would have varied the tour more.

NI staycation Days Out Great experience with one amazing and funny tour guide (Stuart), the dad jokes had us in stitches and thsnk you for the GOT references. We visired Carrickfergus Castle, The Dark Hedges (lunch stop with a discount voucher provided) although a picnic was a very good idea, there is also a fabulous coffee shop. Then on to Dunluce Castle, always worth a visit but nothing like it on a sunny day, picturesque with amazing views. We then finished at Giants Causeway and plenty of timd for a walk, refreshments, dinner etc before home to Belfast (arriving back for around 6pm)

Ni Staycation Tourd Amazing tour and a even better Guide ( Stuart), however we had booked onro the GOT and Giants Causeway tour (the packages need to be updated) however the one we got was absouloutley fantastic (helped by Stuarts amazing knowlege and personality), filled with dad jokes and little tidbits about GOT - like where they filmed a few of the scenes and alot of Irish mythology thrown in. Genuinely Stuart is the best person ever and if we had the chance to do it again with him we'd do it in a heartbeat.
