We got great weather, albeit windy and cool. Most importantly no rain so we were able to Take the Black early and don our cloaks for the entire journey!

The castles we saw and the amount of time to get out and explore was perfect - we were not rushed, we could enjoy it. There was more walking involved vs. sitting on the bus traveling and it was worth it. Very enjoyable - excellent tour and tour guide and driver.”

Follow Robbie through Tollymore Forest to three Game of Thrones filming locations: the wildling pit, Tyrion and Jon’s campfire site, and the direwolf bridge. The 90-minute walk includes Stark cloaks, rain ponchos, small groups, and practical stories about the show and forest.

“Robby, our guide, lives and breathes GOT and he made the forest tour a 10/10 experience. It was great to walk around some iconic scenes & scenery for the series, full of extra bits of useful insight from Robby. The forest park itself is a beautiful, enchanting place recognised as a great backdrop (or the inspiration) for scenes in Games of Thrones and other amazing films also. It's fairly easy walking whilst listening, looking or taking photos, and at £10 it is very good value. I highly recommend Robby as a super guide and the tour itself as 5 star. Big Thanks Robby”
