The 15 Best Game of Thrones Tours in Northern Ireland

1.Game of Thrones and Giant’s Causeway Full-Day Tour from Belfast

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,291 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48Our pick

Travel from Belfast with a driver-guide such as Patrick, Karl, or Paul along the Causeway Coastal Route. Visit Arya Stark filming sites, Dark Hedges, Ballintoy, Dunluce Castle, and Giant’s Causeway. The day mixes TV trivia with major Northern Ireland sights, though the Game of Thrones content can feel light.

“Karl was great all around. Many stops were close together but the day is still long. Causeway story is cool but actual experience was underwhelming. The GoT forest has gaps from fallen trees making it way less impressive than imagined. For super fans, there are 2 Game of Thrones doors on this tour plus one about 7-10 minutes walk from the drop off location.”

A driver-guide such as Brian, Benn, or Lindsey provides local stories and Belfast history. The six-hour trip is built for cruise passengers, with port pickup and return.

“Our guide was very biased in the Protestant and Christian conflict in Belfast. For example, they said “you can tell them apart by the space between their eyes” and “now we are going into no man’s land.” Despite that it was a great trip to the Dark Hedges and especially the Giant’s Causeway. I recommend paying for the shuttle up and down to the basalt columns from the visitors center. Note that your trip doesn’t include entry to the visitors center.”
