GIANT TOURS IRELAND

In a single day, Giant Tours Ireland provided a lifetime of memories for myself and my family.Flip Robinson, the stand in for Hodor on Game of Thrones, is a giant of a man with an even greater spirit. Attuned to every aspect of this land, he interweaves history, geology, and cinema with anecdotes and stories that will leave you feeling like a part of his family.Leaving out of Ballycastle, we visited the disappearing lake of Loughareema and the lush waterfalls of Glenariff, before heading to the Caves of Cushendun for an intimate look at the Game of Thrones filming location. We visited the crystalline waters of Murlough Bay, the expansive views of Fairhead, and had an absolutely splendid lunch in Ballycastle before heading on to the magnificent harbour of Ballintoy, Kinbane Castle, and Dunluce Castle. Flip provided an expert geologic narrative of Giant’s Causeway, and we finished with a stunning view of the famous Dark Hedges.Genuine, gregarious, and flexible in his itinerary (I have a family connection to the area), we left Flip already planning our return and with a newfound appreciation for the band Horslips. You will never experience a better tour!

My family (two adults and two children ages 7 and 9) just finished the most wonderful day with Flip Robinson on his Game of Thrones tour! I could not be more grateful that Flip was our guide! Not only did we spend the day visiting iconic and memorable scenes from the Game of Thrones series, but we saw the most beautiful and stunning landscapes across Northern Ireland. I was worried that my kids would be bored, but Flip is the most wonderful human being who accommodated us, took his time with us, and personalized our trip to meet everyone's needs - and needless to say, we all had a blast! There is something for everyone on this tour, even if you haven't seen Game of Thrones (as my kids have not), and Flip makes the entire trip so enjoyable with his knowledge of the show and the landscape, and his hospitality! We laughed and learned and had the best day ever. We will all be talking about this tour, and our friend Flip, for days to come! I highly recommend this tour with Flip! You won't be disappointed! It's worth every penny!

What a great day with Flip!!! Only 2 out of our group of 4 had ever watched an episode of GoT. We never felt rushed and had a packed day of sites. With the absolutely beautiful scenery and firsthand experience commentary by Flip, we highly recommend reaching out to Flip to book a tour.The tour was so informative that it left us intrigued enough to watch the series!

My wife and I have done GoT tours in other parts of the world, but NONE compare to our day with Flip. In the beginning I was worried he would become annoyed with my nerd level questions, but much to our surprise, Flip was dialed in with his excitement of the show and the area. Our group was small (3 people, me, my wife and my friend Todd). We went places the big tours" could not. Saw things they would never get to and had the time of our lives! Flip would drive us to a location

I treated myself to this tour for my 50th and it didn’t disappoint. In fact, it was the highlight of my entire trip! Flip picked me up from my AB&B in Belfast, and right away I knew he was just the coolest of dudes. As a solo traveler, Flip put me at ease right away with his genuine nature and great sense of humor. I couldn’t wait to hear his GOT stories-- not only his experience actually being on the set, but his vast knowledge of the GOT series and the filming locations. What I got, was so much more. Flip is 6’7” giant with heart of gold and an incredible gift of storytelling. I felt like I was truly on an adventure as we traversed the Causeway highway zipping around the large tour groups and easily pulling over for a cup of coffee, a hidden cave, or a majestically gorgeous vista with a view that will no doubt end up in a frame in my house upon my return. At one point, I realized I had easily been smiling and laughing for hours. I loved every minute -- eating fish and chips on a dock while being side-eyed by hungry ravens, learning about geology and Irish mythology, and having the best conversations about everything and nothing all along the way. Flip's great care and attention throughout the day will make you feel like royalty, even if you don’t get a chance to wear Sansa’s crown, like I did. Yes, this private tour is a bit more pricey than other GOT tours, but trust me, it’s Worth. Every. Penny. Come on, it's Westeros and Flip. You can't get any better!Thanks, Flip-- you’re the best! I can’t wait to return!

Fantastic day tour! Highly recommend a visit to the area & a day spent with Giant Tours Ireland. This tour was the highlight of our 2- week visit in September. Flip is knowledgeable, was intrepid on the narrow Torr Head road, and totally mindful of our interests and capabilities. He is an amazing guide! Any trip to Ireland should include this tour & we guarantee you will love every minute.. We certainly did!

This is an expensive tour, was it worth it? Absolutely! My husband and I are not awash with money so this was a massive treat. I researched other group / private tours and car hire before booking and decided to go with Flip because it was clear from the get go, he is entirely focused on what you would like to do as well as having a stunning itinerary of places I would never imagined were there. Before I booked I contacted Flip as I wanted see the Giants Causeway and the Rope Bridge but also some Games of Thrones stuff for my husband. Re the Game of Thrones I’m not a fan so couldn’t explain what my husband would enjoy. Despite my utter vagueness Flip was amazing and curated a trip which just blew our socks off. So why was it so great….,,We were picked up promptly from our hotel and Flip is just wonderful, we hit it off straight away. The tour was epic, we went to countryside, beaches that truly took my breath away, caves, climbed across a rope bridge and of-course the Giants Causeway, plus numerous places in between. Honestly we had so many stops and enjoyed so many different things it was actually exciting to get back in the car and think I wonder where we are going next! So what were the highlights, for Game of Thrones Fans and non fans like me Cushendun Caves were great, my personal favourite was a beach which I’m not going to name as it’s charm was it’s seclusion and sheer untouched beauty. Driving along the coast road was fantastic and The Giants Causeway was as amazing as I hoped it would be. From a value for money perspective, having reflected on the sheer amount of what we did I think it was 2 leisurely day’s sightseeing in one day, so bare that in mind when comparing this tour to others. To be very clear you have enough time to enjoy each stop, you are definitely not rushed and you can spend as much time as you want wherever you stop. The point us Flip has somehow managed to plan this amazing itinerary where stops aren’t very far from each other so, once you’re on the coast road you spend more time doing stuff than getting to places if that makes sense. The best bit was Flip took everywhere at times which avoided the crowds, enhancing our experience 10 fold. Above all Flip is the most wonderful person, so knowledgeable and if you are into Game of Thrones he’s like a mastermind! This isn’t a job to Flip it’s a passion for Northern Ireland and I guarantee you will part as friends.

We had a fantastic time with Flip during our vacation in July, 2019. As a group of seven people, Flip was able to balance the needs of people wanting to see GoT sites with those who just wanted to see what the Antrim coast had to offer. He expertly pulled it off!!I had a lot of communication with Flip prior to the trip working out my wish list of things to see and do. He was always responsive and provided several suggestions, plus he was very accommodating in some of my asks.During the couple of days, we spent with Flip, he provided great insight on the filming of GoT and his role. Talk about getting a behind the scene understanding of what goes on!By the end of our time with Flip, it felt like he was part of our group. We had some good banter and great craic with him.Every one of our group loved the experience and would highly recommend Flip and his services.
