We thoroughly enjoyed our GoT Studio Tour. As we walked through, the rooms, costumes, scenes, all played out in our minds as to when that happened in the series. It's thrilling to stand where certain scenes were filmed. Very interesting are the arts department, the music department, costumes/design department, etc., where you see how it all came together. It's mind boggling to actually see (and hear if you opt for the audio headset) the overwhelming vast amount of thought, work, preparation, search for offsite filming sites, etc. etc. that goes on before the series even begins to think of the actual production stage. A fantastic gift shop at the end of the tour is worth checking out. The organization of this tour is well thought through, i.e. we really liked the GoT shuttle bus from "The Boulevard Mall" in Banbridge, that takes you directly to the filming studio, as there are no facilities for public parking at the studio. We highly recommend this tour.
