Game of Thrones
Dunluce Castle Game of Thrones & Giant's Causeway Tour from Belfast
Overview
Built specifically for Game of Thrones fans, this full-day tour explains exactly how Dunluce Castle's clifftop silhouette became the exterior of Pyke, seat of House Greyjoy, then continues to other real Antrim coast filming locations — including Ballintoy Harbour, used for Iron Islands harbour scenes — before finishing at the Giant's Causeway.
Your guide separates the on-screen story from Dunluce's real MacDonnell-clan history throughout, so you get both the filming trivia and the genuine 500-year history of the site that inspired it.

Reviews
Our guide knew exactly where the film crew stood to shoot the Pyke exterior — made the stop worth the drive on its own.
Ballintoy Harbour was a great addition we hadn't planned on — genuinely worth the detour.
9.5 hours is a long day — pack snacks and expect a lot of coach time between stops.
Even the non-fans in our group enjoyed it — the real history stood on its own.
