Hop out of your coach at the gorge of Thingvellir, the stomping ground of the White Walkers and the trail that the savage Wildlings took across the north to the Wall. Marvel at the fissure in the earth's crust where the European and American tectonic plates slowly drift apart, and take in the expansive Icelandic landscape that stretches around you.

Our tour guide Dee Dee was very knowledgeable about GOT, she brought her own pictures to match up with the exact locations we stopped at. She was so funny and might I add not a bad singer. The sights were cool even if you were not a GOT fan. Nice comfortable bus with stops for food and restrooms. Very nice overall experience and our guide Dee Dee kicked it up a notch with her bubbly personality and humor.”

This tour has high reviews for a reason..it is fantastic. We were in Iceland a few weeks ago, and all of my family members have remarked that this was one of their favorite excursions. Theo is an amazing guide/host, and he also took us to a few destinations not included in the tour..such as going to a farm that had Icelandic horses and seeing a double waterfall (beautiful). If you are a GOT fan, this is a great tour.”

This was the best time ever!! Theo was an absolutely wonderful guide - funny and very informative. We really enjoyed seeing the filming locations and hearing all of his stories as an extra in the series. The tour was definitely a high-light during our trip to Iceland. A must for any fellow Game of Throney!!! Thanks Theo!!!”

Our guide was an extra on GoT for 4 seasons. As such, he was very knowledgeable about the filming locations and general hidden gems of the area. He also supplemented his talking with still shots taken from the show itself so guests could follow along. Most guides give breaks for people to rest or sleep on the coach between distant locations, but this guide spoke the entire time. This is not necessarily a negative, however. If you want to sleep, you can. If you want to be spoken to the entire time, that's also an option. This tour if good for fans and non-fans alike. There are no spoilers for the non-fans, but enough information for the fans to be completely entertained.”

What a awesome tour and a fantastic tour guide. Theo, our guide, was not only informative, but so funny. It a dark sarcastic humor, but what do you expect from a Wildling, lol. Gave a lot of inside to the filming of the show. We had such great weather and that just made the day even more special. Would definitely recommend. For a fan of the show, or not. We had a few people on the tour who had never seen the show, and they still had a great time.”

Our tour group had 15 people and we had a brilliant day. The tour guide was so knowledgable about the show and it was entertaining to hear about his experiences as an extra. He had an epic sense of humor and was happy to chat about Iceland in general too. It is a must do!”

Great tour to majestic locations and GOT trivia. Tour guide was both knowledgeable and fun. Bus was comfortable.”

First things first, Theo is incredible! He's incredibly knowledgable about the show, a true Game of Thrones enthusiast, and just an all around nice guy. Going on this tour was like traveling around Iceland with your eccentric uncle. You'll get lots of great life advice, and some great tips for traveling around Iceland. It was the best way to start off my trip, and with such a small group size it was very easy as a solo traveler to feel connected and safe with my fellow Game of Thrones enthusiasts. You won't visit any super touristy places, which is very nice, and if you're lucky enough to have Theo, he might show you some of his favorite places in Iceland. This tour definitely isn't for anyone under the age of 18, but it's an all around good time. Highly recommend!”

Theo our tour guide was really funny and tells a lot of things about Game of Thrones, on and off camera... he tells a lot of stories and trivia and jokes, very lively that’s why very little time to explore and photograph the place...but that’s fine..”

The tour itself was amazing. We left right on time and our first stop was at a horse farm. The weather initially was snowy and cloudy,it made you feel as though you were in an episode. The tour guide Theo was very knowledgeable and humorous. I appreciated the driver as well,very cautious. Great trip!”

Theo is an awesome tour guide, and gives great and entertaining stories from behind-the-scenes! The places you visit are also not only beautiful non their own, but extra exciting, because you will definitely recognize them from the show!”

Got to see areas that weren't massively touristy which was a relief, the guide knew a lot about the series and filming and was extremely funny and entertaining - would definitely recommend”

Tour was awesome. Sword biter - sorry Theo - was full of entertaining info about Game of Thrones, complete with scene re-enactments. If you’re a nerdy adventurer, this is the tour for you. Ps - it’s pretty funny and unfiltered so don’t bring your tiny kids or your conservative great aunt Mary.”

Two of us took the Game of Thrones Filming Locations Tour from Reykjavik on Tuesday August 21, 2018. Taking a Shuttle form one of the Reykjavik bus stops to the Greyline terminal (where the tour originated) was easy and efficient. The tour bus was almost completely full. Vehicle was comfortable and visibility of countryside through large side windows was excellent. The best part of the experience was our guide, Teodor (exchuse spelling!) who was GOT costumed and offered a running commentary by microphone from the front of the bus the entire day. He had been an extra on the show and shared many personal and informative experiences. LOTS of humor!!! He had us roaring at some of his stories. We made several stops during the day, including for and excellent lunch at a countryside café (the only meal we had in Iceland that one could consider "moderately" priced). The weather was a bit windy with drizzle but everyone was dressed for it. None of the out-of-bus hikes to viewing sites was excessively long or over rough terrain, and Teo kept a vigilant eye on the passengers to be certain no one wondered off. Game of Thrones fan or not, this would be a day well spent for any visitor to Iceland. Thank you, Teo, for making the day so enjoyable.”

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience on this tour! I would highly recommend doing at the beginning of your trip. Not only did the tour guide give a great overview of the Game of Thrones locations, but also gave us great insight into the Icelandic culture and how locals perceive Iceland.”
