What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel or cruise ship and driven north of Belfast in a private Audi A6. Richard drives while providing live commentary on the passing landscape and filming locations. Throughout the day, he uses a tablet to show you scenes from the show, explain which real-world sites match on-screen settings, and break down how visual effects were layered over practical locations. You'll stop at key spots across the Glens of Antrim and the north coast, and at certain points Richard provides Iron Born costumes and replica swords for photo opportunities and immersion in the show's world. The tour wraps with return transport to your accommodation or ship, typically after 10 hours on the road.
