My experience was interesting because the guide for the Dublin tour injured himself. (I hope he’s better now!) Anyway, I was informed by the company that I could still do the tour but from Belfast. They were extremely helpful in navigating this process and providing all the details in order to make it. It was worth catching a 4:50am bus to make it on time. The Belfast tour guide was great! He was very knowledgeable and was even on the show. He provided a first had experience of what it was like filming. He had picture references for all the site locations that we went to. It was a great time. I highly recommend!
