Melanie
Definitely check this tour out. This seafood market will be demolished soon to make way for the new one. But what a treat to get inside this historic market! Our tour was very educational and wouldn’t recognize for food geeks!
Ronen
Wonderful insight into the world of seafood and understanding of what happens before the seafood lands up on our plates. Mark, our guide and an experienced fisherman himself, took us through the various aspects of the Market seamlessly. He explained about the auction system, quality checks carried out etc. We were provided with boots and hi-vis jackets before the start of the tour. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing time with Lar and Dennis – even though it was a rainy day! Lar is such a fan and enthusiastic of GOT that it was marvellous reviving and reliving all those crucial moments in the TV show. We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers and everyone loved the tour! Highly recommended!
Kirby
Myself and my brother are avid GOT fans. This was our 3rd GOT tour and our favourite by far! From the moment we spoke to Lar outside the Hilton, we knew we were in the presence of a true GOT guru! This was one of the best times of our lives! Lar was amazing and had such incredible insights given that he was an extra in GOT. He was so entertaining and knowledgeable. It was rainy and cold on the latter part of the day but that didn't stop us from having a great time. Winterfell blew me away! We ate lunch at The Lobster Pot. Lar plays videos about the making of GOT on the drive and he has a fun 10 question quiz. Some of the iconic scenes that we went to were the opening of episode one where the first bodies are found by the nights watch, the area where the Starks find the direwolf pups & the tree that Brienne and Jaime find hanging bodies to mention a few. Highly Highly Highly recommend this tour whether you’re a GOT fan or not! Thank you Lar for an EPIC experience!

It felt like a dream! Lar was a true magician to guide us so well through the tour. Right from the minute the title track played when we got on the bus to binge watching season 1 on the way back, each minute was unbelievable! Blessed to have had the opportunity to be on the trek. Would recommend Game of Thrones Tour to anyone who is planning a visit to Ireland. Even if your visit us for 2 days, please spend a day on this trek. You'll get it all.... The abundance of breathtaking landscape along the way, the forest walk, the epic trail and the exact places where the GOT scenes were shot and much much more.... Goosebumps all the way 😊 Lar, you were the best part of the tour! Would love to come back on the tour again just to hear you sing. 😍 The North Remembers! ♥️
Amelia
Had the best time on this tour - Lar was such a fantastic tour guide! He was an extra on the show and had so many fun behind the scenes insights to share with us throughout the day. We stopped at 4 different locations where Lar shared photos and clips of the scenes that were filmed in those locations. It was a truly immersive experience and such a fantastic way to see the Irish countryside. We even stopped at a seaside town for lunch at a great local spot that had delicious food! I highly recommend this tour, you’ll have the best time and make some incredible memories!
Lauree
We really enjoyed our tour! Our tour guide Eric was upbeat and funny. You can tell he loves the show.... In fact he's on it! He was great about asking who on the tour wasn't caught up and asked that no one spoil it. We got to see many sights where they filmed in the earlier seasons. The Forrest was simply amazing. Plus they had winterfell like capes and real swords to dress up in for photo opportunities. I would recommend to any GOT fan.
