Zicasso has introduced two new “Game of Thrones” tribute tours—one in Iceland, the other in Spain—in advance of the hit TV series’ return to HBO on Sunday, July 16. During both itineraries, guests will have the opportunity to travel to the scenes of their favorite storylines, whether it takes them to the Icelandic tundra “North of the Wall” or the medieval Spanish streets and palaces of Westeros.

Viewers last saw the newly appointed “King of the North,” Jon Snow attempting to forge an alliance between the “Night’s Watch” military order and the wildling “Free Folk” to defend the icy northern border against the “White Walker” invasion. On the 7-day Game of Thrones Season 7 Iceland Tour: Winter is Here itinerary, they’ll get the chance to trek like the “Free Folks,” traversing tectonic plains and lava fields, watching geysers erupt and taking a dip in hot springs as they chase the elusive Northern Lights. Highlights of the tour include visits to Vik’s black-sand beaches where Jon Snow and his crew of three go on a mission north of the Wall; Grjotagja, a small lava cave and thermal spring that was Jon Snow and Ygritte’s secret love hideaway; and the lava fields of Dimmuborgir, the location where Mance Rayder set up the Wildling camp in season three.

Rates start at $4,390 pp dbl based on six people traveling, and include accomodations, daily breakfast, private guided tours, premium access to the Blue Lagoon, internal flights, a northern lights hunt (weather permitting), all private airport transfers, and 24/7 travel concierge service.

Meanwhile, on the 12-day Season 7 Spain Tour: Fire & Blood itinerary in Spain, guests will have the opportunity to visit the newest filming locations of “Game of Thrones” season seven, such as Trujillo Castle—the Lannister family stronghold of Casterly Rock. Rates start at $5,059 pp dbl based on four people traveling, and include four-star accomodations, daily breakfast, 11 privately guided tours, admission to the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, a First Class train ticket from Barcelona to San Sebastian, all private airport transfers, and 24/7 travel concierge service.
