Fantastic tour! - Myself and my husband had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide was Richard, he was a wildling in Game of Thrones but really down to earth , friendly, chatty and warm. He had loads of hilarious stories from his time filming on the show, including Hardhome and the Battle of the Bastards! The scenery was epic with sea cliffs and wild beaches. We can't wait to do the other tours now, especially the Winterfell tour from Belfast. Great company, we highly recommend based on our fab day with Richard!

Best day imaginable! - Stunning wild scenery and glorious beaches were the background for a one-of a kind sort of a day that'll stick in our memories for a long time. Richard, our guide, was totally brilliant - friendly, chatty and warm - with a great line in GoT anecdotes and fab sense of humour. A fanatical GoT teenager and her mum had the best day imaginable!

Brilliant! - My husband and I had a phenomenal private tour with Adrian, aka The Other Ser Davos. He was more than happy to share his experiences as an extra and stand-in on the Game of Thrones Series. He was very knowledgeable of the sites we visited and made sure we had as much time as we wanted at each site. We even had a soundtrack for walking to the Dark Hedges :) He made this an experience rather than just a tour. Really just a fantastic day. Couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. Highly recommend!

Thanks Francis - Took the tour from Londonderry with tour guide Francis. It was a great day filled with great anecdotes from the guide. Lunch not included but we did stop at a pub so no need to bring food! Highly recommended!

Unforgettable and beyond our expectation... - We did the tour last Saturday, July 27 and I can only say Wow!!! First and foremost, Francis was anyone´s dream of a tour guide...enthusiastic, informative, funny and very professional (when the bus DVD player did not work, he used his own tablet and speaker, he had all the GOT visuals to make you understand each location). The tour is not for the weak...I had my share of trips and fall...but you will be amply rewarded with a great view of fantastic landscapes. I am hoping for a repeat next year ,so see you again, Francis!

Excellent way to see some NI sights - Taking the tour as a fan of Game of Thrones it offers a great insight into some of the key locations used in the show. However, this is a tour to be taken even if you've never seen GoT either. Taking in some of the most beautiful scenery the north coast has to offer, the LegenDerry Iron Island adventure is an ideal day trip that includes stops at Downhill beach, Dunluce Castle, guaranteed access to the increasingly popular Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Balintoy Harbour, Giant's Causeway and the famous Dark Hedges. Throughout the journey, the tour guide Francis; having been an extra in several episodes, offers his own insight to life behind the scenes, as well as reminiscing random encounters with some of the main cast. This is an ideal day trip at a very reasonable cost per person, even when paying for your own lunch at The Fullerton Arms. This is optional and a menu is provided at the beginning of the day so the food will be ready on arrival. A must if you're looking for a tour with a difference.

GOT immersion - What an experience! I was hoping to see some of the locations used in GOT but I never expected what we got. From the moment we boarded the bus, Francis our guide enthralled us all with his stories about his experiences as an extra on the show. His enthusiasm was fantastic and you could tell how much he loved being involved. At every location we were treated to a story about something interesting that happened at that location and a few extra stories thrown in. Francis also held up an still image from the show that we were able to line up with the landmarks and see we were standing exactly where the actors had stood. It made us feel the importance of the location better and with Francis explaining why it was chosen, we were full bottle before heading of to the next spot. The dress up and photo session at Ballintoy harbour, although not everyone's cup of tea, I recommend getting involved as Francis makes it so enjoyable. You'll regret it if you don't. And finally, the lunch at the Fullerton Arms was lovely and also gives the opportunity to take a snap sitting on a throne replica wearing one of the cloaks provided. Overall, a great experience and great value for money plus you get to visit the Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge too,

Great trip & tourguide - Passionate staff the contributes with that little extra information and anecdotes around GoT. Recommend the guided tour when visiting Derry & would say it's a must! Francis is certainly a man of passion, I however don't agree on his alternative ending of GoT. ;-) Best Madelen from Sweden.

Very disappointed - The tour was cancelled but we did not know until we were waiting for the bus at 08:00 I called the tours operator in Dublin and they said they had cancelled the tour ages ago and trip advisor should have emailed me of the cancellation but no email was received.
