From Belfast: Game of Thrones Winterfell Locations Trek - Your guide and the Stark gear moment (it sets the tone fast)

1.From Belfast: Game of Thrones Winterfell Locations Trek

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 501 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $54Our pick

A full day from Belfast to real Game of Thrones locations, with Stark gear, guided walks through forests and castles, plus a Strangford Lough ferry ride.

“This tour was truly awesome! I was a little worry that it would be just another commercial tour with only a few quick stops but this tour worth every penny. Our guide was great and knew what he was talking about. We had great fun at dressing up and had a great surprise when the direwolves turned up. Meeting them is not garantee tho so don't be sad if don't see them. There is a lot of walking and we did get soaked in the Haunted Forest so be prepared, good shoes and good outdoor clothing. You won't be disappointed, just do it!”

3.Hill & Nature Hike – Discover Real Edinburgh With a Local Expert

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 158 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $116

Escape Edinburgh crowds on a guided Pentland Hills hike with Rishi, snacks and water, and an all-day bus ticket to explore freely.

“This was such a highlight for us during our time in Scotland! Rishi was incredibly kind and personable. Further, he was super knowledgeable both about hiking in general but also he knew so much about Scottish nature, identifying all the different plants and trees. The first incline was a little bit of a workout, but Rishi made sure to keep a very comfortable pace for everyone and the views were absolutely worth it. If you’re on the fence about this activity, book it! You won’t regret it!”

Murdoch is super friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure to check in on me when I was behind the group during the hike. He also made some accommodations for us (stopping at the coos) that made the trip so memorable. There’s not a dull moment of the tour, and no mandatory shopping stops. It’s definitely for people who are active and looking for some great views! Highly recommend.Read more”

I could not believe how fun it was and how many challenges he presented us with! This is a great break from your vacation of visiting castles and such. We actually went to Warwick castle first and drove just ten minutes to the Adventure center to give the kids a fun reward while on holiday.”

It’s hard to capture how magnificent the views are throughout the entire trek, but they are. He genuinely has a passion for the outdoors and sharing with guests; we are grateful. Highly recommend!”
