Embark on an immersive Game of Thrones and Belfast City Tour in Northern Ireland, combining the series with the history and culture of Belfast.
This full-day private tour takes you to the most iconic Game of Thrones filming locations along the Antrim Coast, including Cushendun, Ballintoy Harbour, the Dark Hedges and Dunluce Castle, where the landscapes bring the Seven Kingdoms to life. Along the way, you see the UNESCO World Heritage Giant’s Causeway and can cross the famous Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Then it is into Belfast for the vibrant murals, the historic landmarks and the Belfast city sightseeing that gives the coast its context.
How the day fits together
We usually run the Belfast city and Game of Thrones tour with the city first thing, then head north while the coast road is quiet. Booking it as a city tour and Game of Thrones tour on one day saves a second pickup, a second guide and a second fare, and it is the same driver from start to finish. This Game of Thrones Belfast City combo takes eight to nine hours door to door, which is why guests looking for a Game of Thrones and city tour Belfast, or what some call the GoT and Belfast City day tour, end up here rather than on two separate half days.
Is it the right tour for you?
Of our Game of Thrones tours, this is the one for visitors who want the city as well as the coast. If the series is your only reason for coming, the best Game of Thrones tour Belfast offers is the full Game of Thrones tour Northern Ireland runs along the whole north coast. This is a Game of Thrones Ireland tour built on the real filming locations rather than a studio set, and on this tour, Game of Thrones fans get the coast while everyone else gets the city.
Staying in Dublin?
You can book this as a Game of Thrones tour from Dublin. We collect you from your Dublin address in the morning, the tour itself runs in Northern Ireland exactly as it does for guests staying in Belfast, and we bring you back afterwards. It makes for a longer day because of the driving, so we start earlier and plan the stops around the extra road time.
By paying a small deposit upfront, you can rest assured that your Game of Thrones combo tour Belfast is fully booked. The remaining balance is due on the day of your tour.
Feel free to reach out and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the day.

This is a sample itinerary. As a private tour, timings and stops can be adjusted to suit your interests.
Cushendun – Storm’s End: Our first stop takes us to Cushendun, a stunning coastal location with rugged yet beautiful geological features. Here, fans of Game of Thrones will recognise the caves where Melisandre gave birth to the monstrous shadow baby, a truly unforgettable scene.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge: Suspended 30 metres above the sea, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge connects the mainland to a small rocky island that salmon fishermen have crossed for more than 270 years. We stop at the clifftop viewing point for photographs. Crossing is not included on this tour.
White Park Bay: White Park Bay is one of the finest beaches in Ireland, a wide crescent of white sand flanked by chalk cliffs, with the open Atlantic in front and Scotland visible on a clear day just 20 miles across the water. We stop at the viewpoint above the beach for photographs.
Lunch Stop – Bushmills Village: Bushmills Village offers several choices, from a local fish and chip shop and sandwich shops to cafés and restaurants where you can sit down for lunch. For a restaurant meal, we recommend the Bushmills Inn, which must be booked in advance. Please note that lunch is not included.
Giant’s Causeway: Continue along the Antrim Coast with stunning views of White Park Bay and Portbradden, arriving at the Giant’s Causeway. Explore the 40,000 basalt columns, whose unique formations inspired the legend of Finn McCool, the giant who supposedly built the stepping stones to Scotland. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a natural wonder you won’t forget.
Dunluce Castle – House of Greyjoy: Next, we stop for a photo opportunity at Dunluce Castle, one of the most dramatic castle ruins in the world. Perched on cliff edges, it served as the home of House Greyjoy in Game of Thrones.
The Dark Hedges – King’s Road: Visit the Dark Hedges, one of Northern Ireland’s most photographed natural phenomena. Planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century, these majestic beech trees formed the iconic King’s Road seen in Season 2 of Game of Thrones.
Belfast City Sightseeing Tour
After exploring the Antrim Coast, we return to Belfast for a guided city tour, visiting some of the city’s most notable landmarks:
Falls Road Murals – Discover the famous murals that depict the history and political views of Northern Ireland. These feature on our Belfast Mural Tour.
Clonard Monastery – A historic Catholic church and monastery founded by the Redemptorists in 1896.
Bombay Street Memorial Garden – Remembering the 1,500 Catholic families left homeless during the 1969 Belfast riots.
Peace Wall – Built initially as temporary structures in 1969, the Peace Walls now stand as iconic symbols of Belfast’s journey toward reconciliation.
Shankill Road Murals – Explore this working-class, predominantly loyalist area and its powerful murals that illustrate the city’s past.
Crumlin Road Gaol – See the imposing Crumlin Road Gaol and Courthouse from the outside. (Please note: there is no time for the official jail tour.)

The best Game of Thrones tour in Belfast is a private, full-day tour with a local guide, visiting real filming locations such as the Dark Hedges, Cushendun Caves, Ballintoy Harbour, and Dunluce Castle. Many tours also include the Giant’s Causeway.
Yes. The city takes the first part of the morning, the murals, the Peace Wall and the Titanic Quarter, and then we drive north to the filming locations. It works because the day is private, so nothing waits on a group.
Roughly two hours in the city and four to 6 on the coast, with travel between. If you would rather weight it differently, say so on the day and your guide will adjust.
Yes. The filming locations are real places worth seeing in their own right, the Dark Hedges and the Antrim coast among them, and the city half needs no knowledge of the series at all. Your guide pitches the Game of Thrones material to how much you want of it.

Giants Causeway and Game of Thrones
We had a wonderful private tour with Murat who has been doing these tours for many years. Very professional, personable with great stories and information. Booking was straightforward. The vehicle was very comfortable and in excellent condition. He went out of his way to make the tour memorable and was very flexible. Giant’s Causeway, Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle and more. Highly recommend. See all 9 photos
Excellent Guide and Incredible Locations!
An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. Our guide, Murat, was knowledgeable, engaging and share the right mix of Gae of Thrones information, local history and behind the scenes stories. The itinerary was well organized, and we had plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. Also, Murat adjusted the trip to meet a request for a proper tea! Even members of our group who weren’t big Game of Thrones fanes throroughly enjoyed this day. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Northern Ireland and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Belfast.
Enjoyable and fantastic city tour
We (2 couples from the ship) enjoyed a fantastic tour with John who took us around to just every “must see” there was. We profited from John’s great knowledge of Belfast’s past and present. His explanation of the political situation and background made us understand now the real situation in Belfast. Looking for an enjoyable and informative tour to get to know the city o f Belfast ?
