Meet our host, Flip Robinson, Giant Tours Ireland
As a true local with a passion for storytelling, Flip brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to your journey. With a background in environmental science, years of volunteering service with the RNLI and Coastguard rescue, and professional roles as a Ranger and Guide at the iconic sites like the Giants Causeway UNESCO World Heritage Site and the breathtaking Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Flip knows the landscape inside out. But what truly sets Flip apart is his Game of Thrones connection. During the filming of Season 6, while working at Carrick-a-Rede, he was discovered by the show’s directors and cast as a stand-in actor. From there, he went on to appear in two episodes, playing key roles in pivotal scenes – including the unforgettable events leading to “The Door” reveal.
With his Game of Thrones behind-the-scenes knowledge, Flip makes the series come to life. And even if you haven’s seen the show, the locations are breathtaking and will come to life, all on their own. Touring in a luxury Mercedes-Benz V-Class, you’ll go off the beaten path for an intimate experience, bringing small groups to stand on the very spots where the legendary scenes where filmed. – places most visitors never get to see.
