Richard the Wilding Game of Thrones tour Northern Ireland
Primary reason to visit Belfast wants to see the beautiful scenery along the Antrim coast.
Richard was an extra on the Game of Thrones filming and was very knowledgeable about the different sites.
He was very entertaining and made it a very special day.
Would highly recommend

Great tour guide, great tour!
i will keep this short as it was a big day!
firstly heour tour guide was a man called richard and he was a wildling on the set of game of thrones. i add this because the amount of storys we got related and unrelated to where we were visiting was fantastic! he made sure everyone was on the coach and even allowed an extra 5 minuets to make sure everyone was there.
the first leg of journey was a drive but he spoke to us the whole way about what to expect from the day and just getting to know everyone.
we visited so many places we went to but there was not as much walking as i expected which was great for an 8 hour day! (theres enough) Richard told us where all the photo opertunities were too and was very social with everyone in the group.
the tour itself was stunning and honestly i dont think i would have visited most of these outside this tour so im greatful for that. worth every euro!
i know im writing this on the private tour that richard ususally does but i think we got lucky that he did our public one and felt he deserves the recognition oin his page! im sure hes just as fantastic privately!
you made our day, thank you!

Phenomenal!
Richard is a phenomenal guide. He’s obviously well-versed in Game of Thrones, but he also answered all our questions about the history, the culture, and the people of the area. He’s laidback, kind, and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!

Once in a Lifetime Tour
I have been meaning to write this review for over a year. I'm terrible about writing reviews after I get home, but whenever the subject of great tours comes up, Richard's tour is one of the first that comes to mind. It was simply that memorable.
We specifically chose Richard's private tour for several reasons. I have mobility disabilities, I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan, and the idea of being guided by an actual Wildling from the show was too good to pass up. Before we even met, Richard made special arrangements to pick us up directly at our cruise ship, making the connection effortless. It was also obvious from the beginning that he was more than willing to accommodate my mobility needs, which immediately put us at ease.
My first impression was exactly what you'd expect from looking at him. Richard is a big guy who absolutely looks like he could still be one of the Wildlings. Fortunately, he's also incredibly friendly and easy to spend the day with.
There were so many highlights that it's hard to pick just one. His knowledge of every filming location was remarkable. He didn't just tell us where scenes were filmed. He explained how they were filmed, why those locations were chosen, and shared behind-the-scenes details that made us appreciate the series even more. Standing where Arya climbed from the water after being stabbed by the Waif was especially memorable.
One thing I really appreciated was that Richard knew where the large tour buses would be throughout the day. He adjusted our schedule so we stayed ahead of the crowds, which gave us opportunities to take photos along the Kingsroad with almost nobody else around. Those pictures are some of our favorites from the entire trip. He also took us to a fantastic pub for lunch that served some delicious food.
What surprised us most was that this wasn't just a Game of Thrones tour. Richard's knowledge of Northern Ireland's geography, history, and culture added so much to the experience that the one person in our group who had never watched Game of Thrones ended up saying this was her favorite tour of our entire vacation.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard to anyone visiting Northern Ireland. In fact, if we ever make it back, I would book his Winterfell tour without a second thought.

Fantastic tour for GOT fans
We had an amazing time on the Game of Thrones tour in Belfast! Our guide, Richard, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of both the series and the filming locations was outstanding, and he shared so many interesting behind-the-scenes stories throughout the day.
One of the best parts of the tour was that Richard showed us photos of the scenes filmed at each location just as we were standing there. It made it so easy to recognize the places and really brought the world of Game of Thrones to life.
The tour was well organized, engaging, and a must for any Game of Thrones fan. Richard’s enthusiasm and expertise made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

BEST TOUR + GUIDE EVER! :)
10/10 COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE!!!! Richard is not only an incredible tour guide, but an absolutely phenomenal human being! What a treat it was to not only explore the stunning Northern Irish Coast, but to also do it alongside the company of Richard. This was my second tour (Iron Islands) through this company and I could not recommend it more. We can't wait to come back and do the Winterfell route next!!!! From the communication beforehand, conversation along the way and the quality and attention to detail, there is truly no tour like it. Having the privilege of seeing the filming locations come to life with the side by side of the actual scenes, hearing the behind the scenes details (from someone who was actually IN THE SHOW) and getting to see and handle some cool props (but I won't spoil anything) was any Game of Thrones lovers dream. Richard is kind, humorous, a great conversationalist and extremely knowledged in not only Game of Thrones but Irish History as well. He is a GEM!!!!!!! If you do anything in Belfast/Northern Ireland, or Ireland in general it must be this tour!!!

A truly amazing day that I highly recommend
Wow, wow, wow
I booked this as a surprise GOT day for my son and I. It was amazing.
The communication from Richard was second to none, he made recommendations to me which I appreciated, it also meant we got the best out of our time in Belfast.
Not only did we see some amazing memorable sites where GOT was filmed Richard brought it all to life with his commentary. We both also felt we had had a wonderful glimpse at Northern Ireland en route and we loved that too.
An amazing day that I cannot recommend highly enough. Just book this tour with Richard you won’t regret it.

Wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Northern Ireland, and especially GoT fans
Hello from Singapore!
As huge Game of Thrones fans, this tour was at the very top of our Belfast to-do list, and it absolutely delivered. We've done several private tours before, but this was hands down the best one yet. Richard has set the bar incredibly high for any future guide to follow.
What made the experience truly unforgettable was the way Richard wove together the rich history and heritage of each location with his personal, first-hand involvement during filming. His passion, insight, and storytelling brought these sites to life — not just for us as first-time visitors to Northern Ireland, but also as longtime fans of the show.
Truth be told, we’ve always considered ourselves more “southern Westeros” types… but Richard made us fall in love with the wild beauty of the North, and the haunting, windswept shores of Salt and Sea.
Thank you so much; we’re already dreaming of coming back for the Winterfell route soon!
