While it was very cool to see the set pieces the travel time and wait for the bus to come back was not worth the money.
In August 2026, I was on a cruise with Celebrity Cruises. One of our stops was in Dublin. I booked an excursion for my wife and me for a bus ride from Dublin to the Game of Thrones museum. Unfortunately, Dublin does not have a dock that allowed the Celebrity Cruises ship (Eclipse) to dock. Instead of docking we had to take a tender. But because the seas were too rough, the Captain canceled all tenders, so we couldn’t go on the bus trip to the museum. I immediately contacted Trip Advisor and asked them to contact the tour operator and I also asked them for a refund. They rejected my request for a refund because my “cancellation” was less than 24 hours before the bus trip. I explained to Trip Advisor that I did not “cancel” the trip; rather, due to the rough seas, the Captain canceled the tenders. Nonetheless, Trip Advisor refused to give me a refund or even a credit for another excursion. They only offered a credit for the same excursion, even though I explained that we live in Hawaii and won’t be returning to Dublin. I am very disappointed with how I was treated by Trip Advisor. They should have at least given me a credit for another booking. Don’t use them if you are on a cruise ship and you need a tender to get to the port.
This tour was very informative about how the Game of Thrones movie was made. If you have not read the book or seen the movie, the audio portion of the tour was not helpful. Reading the display signs alone made it less confusing for me. I was totally amazed on the hours spent and the materials used for this production. The workmanship was beautiful to see. I enjoyed the tour with my daughter who is a big fan of the movie. I could tell my daughter was " in heaven" in viewing this tour! It made mom happy too!
Thanks for sharing this! Glad the craftsmanship and hours of work behind the production came through, and that you and your daughter enjoyed it together. Noted on the audio guide being less helpful without prior knowledge of the show.
Easy to get to meeting point, nice bus and quick trip. Self guided tour, all real cast costumes and very informative.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that you found the meeting point easy to get to and enjoyed the bus journey and self-guided tour. Thank you for visiting us, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!
If you’re a Game of Thrones fan and you get anywhere close to the tour you must go. This place has so many of the show’s props and costumes. You can also sit the iron throne (the real one is on the tour but you can sit in a duplicate and get your picture made). You can ride a dragon! I could go on and on but it’s a must-see for GOT fans!!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad you enjoyed the props, costumes, and all the interactive experiences. It means a lot to hear you would recommend us. We hope to see you again soon!
This is a great tour for any Game of Thrones fan. It is full of screen used props and costumes as well as behind the scenes info. This place is so popular the gift shop has a small problem with maintaining some stock/sizes but they have a website you can use.
Thankyou for your lovely review. We are pleased you enjoyed the studio tour and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Bus transfer to the Game of Thrones Studio Tour. The Game of Thrones Studio Tour is a nice destination if you are vacationing nearby. We would not recommend flying out specifically just for the tour. Tour duration approx. 90 minutes. However, you have about 3 hours of time on site.
Thankyou very much for taking the time to leave a review. We hope you enjoyed the studio tour. Thankyou again.
Really nice tour, funny tour guide and really exciting to see studio. I could have used a little piss break since the drive from Dublin is almost 2 hours.
Thanks so much! Glad the tour guide made it fun and the studio was exciting to see. Noted on wanting a bathroom break during the drive from Dublin.
