Experience hosted by Withlocals
Just a road trip away from Dublin, the real-life world of Westeros is waiting to be explored. Grab your cloak, meet your favorite local host, and prepare to walk in the footsteps of the Starks — Winterfell (Castle Ward) awaits!
On this private Game of Thrones day trip, forget crowded buses and generic guides. This is your exclusive chance to discover Castle Ward, Audley’s Castle, and the River Quoile with a local expert who brings the Seven Kingdoms to life. From famous battle scenes to hidden filming corners only locals know, this experience is crafted just for you — and your inner direwolf.
Dive into the legends behind each site as you uncover how Northern Ireland became Westeros. Your host will share behind-the-scenes stories, GoT trivia, and the historical roots of each location. Whether you're wielding a (replica) sword in the Winterfell courtyard or wandering through the eerie woods where the White Walkers first appeared, you’ll experience the realm from an intimate and authentic perspective.
Every Withlocals host is a born storyteller, with passions ranging from history and film to folklore and fantasy. Want to take an epic photo with Audley’s Castle in the background, or stay a little longer? This tour is flexible — your host is happy to adapt the route to suit your adventure.
