This three-hour English walking tour follows Game of Thrones locations around Dubrovnik, including Lovrjenac Fortress, Fort Bokar, the City Walls, Stradun, and the old town. Guides such as Tea, Zoran, Katarina, and Ivana pair filming trivia with Croatian history. Expect steps, sun, and a small group of up to 18.
“You'll get exactly what you came for! A nice walk around the old city with highlights on filming locations of GOT. Easy to find out host, walk was at a leisurely pace, he was well prepared with scene pictures, etc.”
Travel from Invergordon with a guide such as George, Sarah, or Alister to Clava Cairns, Culloden, Loch Ness, Great Glen Distillery, Urquhart Castle, and Beauly Priory. This seven-hour tour holds no more than seven people and blends Outlander locations with Scottish history, folklore, gin tasting, and Highland scenery.
“This was a great tour. Our guide, George, made the day fun. The small size of the group helped make the tour much more personal than the typical excursion. In addition to expanding on the Outlander connection to the sites we visited, he also provided historical context from the perspective of someone who grew up in the area and knows it well. We learned a lot about Scottish history, and George left us wanting to come back. We were lucky to have great weather. The visit to Urquhart Castle was amazing, with a breathtaking view of Loch Ness. I highly recommend!”
Explore Los Angeles in a private Mercedes Benz Sprinter with a local guide, stopping at the Hollywood Sign, Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre, historic districts, major sports venues, and famous shopping areas. Pickup is available from select hotels and ports.
“Mark is by far the best, it was an awesome tour! Strongly recommended! If you are in Los Angeles and looking for fun!”
Follow Dubrovnik’s Game of Thrones filming trail by private air-conditioned van, from Trsteno Arboretum and Lovrijenac Fortress to Qarth on Lokrum Island. Guides such as Andrea and Mihaela tailor the 5.5-hour tour, which ends on Lokrum and includes a photo at the Iron Throne.
“Dubrovnik was a surprise to our group (6 adults)! We met our tour guide, Andrea and our driver just outside the port. Transportation was in a very comfortable, air conditioned van. We had a limited amount of time in Dubrovnik, so we were offered some options for our tour. We went to the overlook on the top of the mountain, to some beautiful gardens, and then into the city walls. Andrea's knowledge of Dubrovnik and the Game of Thrones made the tour very interesting! We wish we would have had more time to spend in Dubrovnik.”
Leave your cruise ship with a private minibus and guide such as Paul or Nick for an eight-hour tour through Edinburgh, Stirling, Doune, Bannockburn, and the Trossachs. Expect castle stops, Scottish history, countryside views, lunch time in Aberfoyle, and room to adjust the day for your group.
“Paul was a fantastic guide! He adjusted our tour to meet needs of adults (whisky tasting) and teens (history). Loved hearing Paul tell the story of his country and his people. Our visit to Sterling Castle was cancelled due to the King's visit! BRead more”
