Perfect day ! - We really enjoyed our GOT tour. The landscapes were amazing. Richard is fun and interesting, not just about GOT, he gives a lot of other informations on various topics as well. The day went by really quickly and we highly recommend him.

Fabulous !! - Absolutely brilliant great day for Game of Thronies followers, with an extra - Richard the Wilding. Great bloke, friendly. knowledgeable and a very pleasant day. Definitely recommend this trip, worth paying the extra for private tour as opposed to mini bus.
Thanks Richard, I now wished I’d booked the other tour as well ….

Second time touring with Richard - This is the second private tour we have done with Richard the Wildling !. Last year we did the Winterfell tour and enjoyed it so much we came back to Belfast to do the rest of the GOT locations with him. It is a wonderful day out. Richard picks you up early from your hotel and embarks on an epic day out. Most of the GOT locations are included in both tours and each one is a full day. Richard is a fantastic guy who keeps you entertained the whole day, not just about GOT (on which his enthusiasm and knowledge is epic) but also on his knowledge about Northern Ireland in general. The tour took us through beautiful scenery with coffee stops and lunch breaks in nice local pubs. His car is very comfortable and you can stay as short or as long as you wish in each of the stops … he also acts as your personal photographer along the way. Dressing up in GOT authentic gear was great fun too. You don’t even have to be a GOT fan to enjoy this tour as just seeing the beautiful locations all over Northern Ireland was enjoyable enough. We cannot recommend Richard’s tour enough and encourage anyone to just go ahead and book it. It will be money well spent.

Highly recommend! - We booked this tour to see the sights in NI and experience GoT in a whole new way…and we are so glad we did! We throughly enjoyed our day with Richard! He was fun, had amazing stories about being on set, and kept us laughing all day. He took great photos of us all day and some cheeky selfies, too :) Don’t hesitate to book this experience!

Just fantastic - the perfect Game of Thrones experience - Absolutely fabulous day out visiting a lot of the locations from Game of Thrones, visiting the Iron Islands, the cave where the demon was born, and other scenes from the series. We also got to visit the Giants Causeway which was an additional treat. Our guide for the day was Richard, who appeared in the series himself, and not only did he drive us to see lots of places, but he also regaled us with some wonderful stories from his time as a Wildling, and also added some non-Game of Thrones history, which was brilliant and informative.
The tour was brilliant in itself, but the fact we were lucky enough to meet Richard really made this a 5 star experience, and I cannot rate it highly enough.
We went to The Fullerton Arms for lunch, and the food and hospitality there was fantastic. I heartily recommend the battered Haddock, and my husband loved the Beef and Guinness pie.
The final part of the tour involved cloaks and swords and was just great fun.
A wonderful wonderful day.
