“The trip was good. The two guides which we had - Tony and Kika were really good. Tony was very informative about the tour. Showing us footage of the episodes where the Game of thrones was filmed. He was quite funny as well. It was a small group of 16 people transported in 2 separate vans which was quite jammed. The journey was not long thanks goodness. The location for the lunch was mind blowing and one of the most picturesque views I have ever seen.”

“Excellent guide, knowledgeable and friendly! Fun to watch the scenes from Game of Thrones standing at the place they filmed them. Disappointed the castle portion of the day was closed, the detour to another town was disappointing - would recommend checking to make sure the castle is open before booking”
