Game of Thrones is about to end its third season. The HBO fantasy series has only one episode left before taking a year off to prep for the next year. Fans of the show are most likely reeling from last week's soul crushing ending so the seasons end may cause some to go into Game of Thrones withdrawal.

Luckily, Travel Company Viator may be able to help with fans Game of Thrones cravings. The firm is offering Game of Thrones walking tours through the end of the year. Viator is giving fans of the show the chance to wander locations where Game of Thrones shoots.
