Big fan of Game of Thrones and like heading to exotic lands? Good newsâ you can officially start packing your bags (and your sword and shield) because thereâs a travel company that feels you.
Black Tomato is a unique agency that is actually bringing your favorite television shows to life via fully-guided travel experiences. Their âSet Jettingâ experiences take you on luxury vacations to the filming locations of some wildly popular television shows, including Game of Thrones, Westworld, Twin Peaks, The Crown and The Young Pope.
These vacation packages include a full itinerary of experiences that bring your favorite television shows to life. The Game of Thrones experience, for example, takes you on an expedition through Ireland and Iceland, home to the showâs well-known locations.
âYour adventure gets underway in Belfast where, after a quick pit-stop at the Guinness Storehouse, youâll jump in the car and drive up to Belfast to find yourself in the heart of the North of the Seven Kingdoms,â the website explains. âEmbark on a cycling adventure through Strangford Lough, better known as Winterfell, and visit the Stark ancestral home to try your hand at archery with an expert guide.â
The GoT experience has two themesâ North and South of the Wall. The Ireland portion takes you through various locations South of the Wall. Then youâre taken North of the Wall, in Iceland, where youâll have a chance to explore the same frozen tundra Jon Snow endured, minus the White Walkers.
An exploration of the Seven Kingdoms isnât all Black Tomato has to offer. Anyone whoâs been waiting years for the revitalization of Twin Peaks will love the showâs Set Jetting experience, which is an exploration of Washington state unlike any other. From wine tastings to hiking through the stunning Snoqualmie wilderness to exploring the iconic sites from Twin Peaks youâre all-too familiar with, itâs a side of Washington that youâd more than likely never experience otherwise.
Their Westworld package will make you feel like youâve actually stepped back into the Wild West as you explore the Moab desert in Utah. Their unbelievably luxurious package inspired by The Young Pope looks like the Italian experience of a lifetime.
Each Set Jetting experience is completely customizable. Although every experience has a recommended length of stay in order to completely fulfill their list of activities, the choice is ultimately yours.
You even have the option to pick and choose certain experiences on the itinerary. And while the packages can be spendy (the Game of Thrones Set Jetting experience clocks in at around $9,700 per person for their recommended eight-night stay), you have to remember what youâre gettingâ private tours, unique accommodations and a chance to actually live out life behind the screen. Plus, they keep you pretty active, too, which is always a plus.
Vacations that not only give you a one-of-a-kind experience, but completely take the guesswork out of planning? Weâll take two, please.
