Everything about the tour was fantastic. Gerry, the Tour Guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, his stories were a delight, And it was great to be able to see the actual locations of the film in the flesh. It was a dream come true to be there.

The tour was so good. Our guide, Rory was the best part because he did movie quotes in the character’s voices that really brought the locations to life. We learned many interesting facts that I never knew. Highly recommend!
