Organizers Planning Game of Thrones Bus Tours Next Year

By San Francisco Limousine Specialist on October 31, 2012

Fans of the smash hit HBO series Game of Thrones will be able to ride through the Irish countryside and view the locations where the program is filmed. The third season of the epic fantasy series is now being filmed in Northern Ireland, and planners report that they expect to have the tour buses up and running by this time next year. Game of Thrones fans will recognize many filming locations, including the North Coast Harbor of Ballintoy, a backdrop for many episodes. Other popular shooting locations expected to be included on the tour are Larrybane Quarry near the Carrickarede rope bridge on the North Coast, Inch Abbey and Tollymore Forest Park in Co Down.

The announcement pleased many tourism officials in Ireland, which, like many popular tourist destinations, has taken a sizable hit in recent years due to the recession.

"We have been working with the various tourism bodies for over a year, we got in touch about setting up this tour. We are helping them in terms of resources and putting them in touch with the right people like the broadcaster and distributor. We are keen on the overall film tourism thing, not just Game Of Thrones," one tourism official said.

Bentley Introduces Diamond Jubilee Limo to Honor Queen Elizabeth

By San Francisco Limousine Specialist on August 20, 2012

Legendary luxury automobile manufacturer Bentley Motors has announced that it plans to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s 60-year reign with a series of special Bentley limousines. Bentley has crafted only 60 Mulsanne Diamond Jubilee Edition limos, one for each year of the Queen’s reign, and they are valued at over $1 million each. These limited edition Bentleys are designed by Bentley’s Mulliner division, the same craftspeople that created the State Limousine presented to Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

The release of these limousines was timed to coincide with the recent opening of one of the world’s largest Bentley dealership in Beijing, as most of these exclusive limos are expected to be sold to Chinese buyers. The Mulsanne Diamond Jubilee Edition limousines feature several unique, handcrafted features that pay tribute to Her Majesty, including the following:

• Gold stitching and custom embroidery on each headrest
• Veneered picnic tables in the rear cabin decorated with gold overlay depicting the royal carriage used on special occasions
• Matching seat cushions with the same embroidery and gold stitching as the headrests
• Two stainless steel treadplates featuring the famous "Bentley Mulliner, England" script and "Diamond Jubilee Edition"
• The full complement of state-of-the-art Bentley limousine amenities

If you know a lady who deserves to be treated like a queen, but you don’t have the means to buy one of these limited edition limousines, we humbly offer a very viable and affordable alternative.
