Game of Thrones Tours

Belfast
What it’s like
Guided walks and coach treks out to the real filming spots behind Game of Thrones, from a Belfast city trail to a full day trip to Winterfell.
These are location tours built around the show rather than a studio or an attraction with props. The Glass of Thrones Walking Trail keeps you in Belfast, following stained glass panels and filming spots around the city on foot, and there's a private two hour version if you want your own guide rather than a group. The bigger option is the Winterfell Locations Trek, a full coach trip out to the actual sites used for filming, including Tollymore Forest, running from either Belfast or Dublin.
There's no set or gift shop to browse at the end, so don't go expecting a wander round props and costumes. The value here is standing where the scenes were actually shot and having a guide talk you through what happened there, which either lands for you or it doesn't depending how far into the show you got.
Money-wise the city walking trail is the cheap entry point at £8 to £10, and it's a reasonable way to fill a couple of hours if you're already in Belfast. The Winterfell trek is the bigger spend, £45 to £49 from Belfast and jumping to £75 to £79 if you're starting from Dublin, which reflects the extra travel time more than anything else.
None of this is really pitched at children, and there's nothing in how it's run that suggests a toddler-friendly pace. Anyone who watched the series and fancies seeing the landscapes in person is the actual audience, whether that's a couple, a group of friends, or adults travelling together.
