Game of Thrones - Private Audi A6 tour with Richard the Wildling

About this tour

When Lily from our team booked Richard the Wildling's private tour, we knew we were in for something different — a proper Game of Thrones experience steered by someone who actually appeared on screen as a wildling extra in seasons 5, 6, and 7. Richard drives a small group (max four) around Northern Ireland in his Audi A6, stopping at actual filming locations across the glens and coast north of Belfast. He brings tablets with scene breakdowns, VFX comparisons, and even Iron Islands costumes and replica swords to try on. It's a full 10-hour day that reads less like a tour bus slog and more like a mate who was genuinely there walking you through the real geography behind the show.

Highlights

• Richard was on screen at Hardhome and inside the Bolton shield wall at Battle of the Bastards
• Tablet footage shows exact scenes filmed at each location, plus behind-the-scenes and VFX breakdowns
• Iron Islands costumes and replica swords included — not a hidden cost extra
• Private car means no fighting for seats or waiting for stragglers
• Glens of Antrim and north coast backdrop is genuinely moody and cinematic
• Hotel or port pickup and drop-off included for cruise passengers
• Maximum four people keeps it intimate and gives everyone breathing room
• Richard's commentary comes from lived experience on set, not a script

What to expect

Lily's day started with a hotel pickup around Belfast and headed straight into the glens. Richard drives you to real locations where iconic scenes were shot — the Iron Islands, valleys, and coastal spots that doubled as Westeros. At each stop, he pulls out his tablet to show the actual scene filmed there, then explains the VFX work that transformed the landscape. You'll get into the Iron Islands gear (costumes are genuinely good quality), take photos, and hear Richard's actual memories of filming — what the atmosphere was like on set, how long takes took, which actors he crossed paths with. The 10 hours moves at a steady pace with driving between sites, so you're not marathoning walks, but you will be on your feet regularly and the weather in Northern Ireland can swing fast. Lunch isn't included, so Richard will likely suggest stopping somewhere, or you'll need to pack something.
