Visit the 'Land Beyond The Wall' on a New 'Game of Thrones' Themed Tour of Iceland From GreatValueVacations
Rockville Centre, NY (PRWEB) June 10, 2014 -- Diehard "Game of Thrones" fans can vacation in the "Land Beyond the Wall" with GreatValueVacations. On this Akureyri Highlights & The Game of Thrones tour, travelers will see the HBO cult classic brought to life with tales of the "Seven Kingdoms" by the local expert who guided the Game of Thrones crew on set during filming in Iceland. This is truly "set-jetting" and its very best.
This 4-night “Twin-City” break to Reykjavik and Akureyri will have fans entering the land of Wildlings and White Walkers! The trip includes time to explore Reykjavik independently before flying to Akureyri – a charming city known as “the Capital of North Iceland.” A local artist will lead participants on an Exclusive Art & Design walking tour of Akureyri with insider visits to local artists’ workshops and handcraft stores.
Later on, it's time to join local guide Jon Thor Benediktsson where travelers will be taken to the filming locations of the Game of Thrones' famed ice wall itself, and to locations "north of the wall" (largely filmed at the beautiful Lake Myvatn) where the series' primitive "Wildlings" roam. He’ll regale guests with tales of the "Seven Kingdoms," as he also guided the Game of Thrones crew on set during filming for the third series.
Highlights:
• Visit the areas where Night's Watchmen, including Samwell Tarly and Lord Commander Mormont, are attacked by the White Walkers.
• Walk the land that Jon Snow, Ygritte and the Free Folk cross to reach the Wall.
• Visit the cave where Jon Snow and Ygritte have their first intimate romantic encounter.
• Learn about how the Free Folk, like the ancient Vikings, lived and survived in their harsh environment.
