Game of Thrones - Private Audi A6 tour with Richard the Wildling

Richard is a phenomenal guide. He’s obviously well-versed in Game of Thrones, but he also answered all our questions about the history, the culture, and the people of the area. He’s laidback, kind, and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!

I have been meaning to write this review for over a year. I'm terrible about writing reviews after I get home, but whenever the subject of great tours comes up, Richard's tour is one of the first that comes to mind. It was simply that memorable. We specifically chose Richard's private tour for several reasons. I have mobility disabilities, I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan, and the idea of being guided by an actual Wildling from the show was too good to pass up. Before we even met, Richard made special arrangements to pick us up directly at our cruise ship, making the connection effortless. It was also obvious from the beginning that he was more than willing to accommodate my mobility needs, which immediately put us at ease. My first impression was exactly what you'd expect from looking at him. Richard is a big guy who absolutely looks like he could still be one of the Wildlings. Fortunately, he's also incredibly friendly and easy to spend the day with. There were so many highlights that it's hard to pick just one. His knowledge of every filming location was remarkable. He didn't just tell us where scenes were filmed. He explained how they were filmed, why those locations were chosen, and shared behind-the-scenes details that made us appreciate the series even more. Standing where Arya climbed from the water after being stabbed by the Waif was especially memorable. One thing I really appreciated was that Richard knew where the large tour buses would be throughout the day. He adjusted our schedule so we stayed ahead of the crowds, which gave us opportunities to take photos along the Kingsroad with almost nobody else around. Those pictures are some of our favorites from the entire trip. He also took us to a fantastic pub for lunch that served some delicious food. What surprised us most was that this wasn't just a Game of Thrones tour. Richard's knowledge of Northern Ireland's geography, history, and culture added so much to the experience that the one person in our group who had never watched Game of Thrones ended up saying this was her favorite tour of our entire vacation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard to anyone visiting Northern Ireland. In fact, if we ever make it back, I would book his Winterfell tour without a second thought.

We had an amazing time on the Game of Thrones tour in Belfast! Our guide, Richard, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of both the series and the filming locations was outstanding, and he shared so many interesting behind-the-scenes stories throughout the day. One of the best parts of the tour was that Richard showed us photos of the scenes filmed at each location just as we were standing there. It made it so easy to recognize the places and really brought the world of Game of Thrones to life. The tour was well organized, engaging, and a must for any Game of Thrones fan. Richard’s enthusiasm and expertise made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

10/10 COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE!!!! Richard is not only an incredible tour guide, but an absolutely phenomenal human being! What a treat it was to not only explore the stunning Northern Irish Coast, but to also do it alongside the company of Richard. This was my second tour (Iron Islands) through this company and I could not recommend it more. We can't wait to come back and do the Winterfell route next!!!! From the communication beforehand, conversation along the way and the quality and attention to detail, there is truly no tour like it. Having the privilege of seeing the filming locations come to life with the side by side of the actual scenes, hearing the behind the scenes details (from someone who was actually IN THE SHOW) and getting to see and handle some cool props (but I won't spoil anything) was any Game of Thrones lovers dream. Richard is kind, humorous, a great conversationalist and extremely knowledged in not only Game of Thrones but Irish History as well. He is a GEM!!!!!!! If you do anything in Belfast/Northern Ireland, or Ireland in general it must be this tour!!!

Wow, wow, wow I booked this as a surprise GOT day for my son and I. It was amazing. The communication from Richard was second to none, he made recommendations to me which I appreciated, it also meant we got the best out of our time in Belfast. Not only did we see some amazing memorable sites where GOT was filmed Richard brought it all to life with his commentary. We both also felt we had had a wonderful glimpse at Northern Ireland en route and we loved that too. An amazing day that I cannot recommend highly enough. Just book this tour with Richard you won’t regret it.
