Dr Who

Sarah_B, May 2024

One of the best walking tours we have been on thanks to our guide Terence. One for big Dr Who fans and those that aren't. Amazing way to learn about Dr Who and Cardiff City.

Brilliant

Katherine_G, Apr 2024

Loved the entire tour! Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and ensured everything went well despite the very loud protests happening in the city centre.

Dr Who Tour

Chris_A, Nov 2023

Seeing how the illusions are done in normal day settings. Having this all explains in and informative and professional way.

Nice paced walking tour

Char_S, Jul 2023

Nice walking tour with a tour guide who was fun and knowledgeable. Especially appreciated the unexpected Dr Who reference inside the church.

Exceeded expectations

Jane_W, Jul 2023

Very well organised, informative, entertaining tour with an very engaging host. Despite the adverse weather conditions, our tour guide still managed to make this a most enjoyable experience for all. My son (13) has autism and becomes very anxious in public, crowded places and also tires very easily but - being a massive Dr Who fan - he was so enthralled by the infectious enthusiasm of our guide he managed the whole 2hr 30min walk in an around Cardiff. He was the only child on the tour in a group of 16 so - this is not just for kids - a must for all Whovers!

Whovian tour

Julie_J, Apr 2023

This is perfect for Doctor Who fans, you are able to see a lot of filming locations and the guide even has pictures to compare. He also has knowledge on the history of Cardiff. I've also visited places I wouldn't have found on my own during this tour.

Walk your way to more Dr. Who Knowledge

Jeff_B, Aug 2022

This was a fun way to spend a late morning in Cardiff. Having been a fan of the show for a number of years, it was a treat to see some of the locations that have been used for filming this iconic show. Terrance was our guide, and did a very good job of not only showing us the sites and locations of filming of the series, but also some of the interesting history of Wales, Cardiff and the castle. I would recommend you bring some water, particularly if it's warm, and have very comfortable footwear, as there is a fair bit of walking. We enjoyed our time around the city, and learned quite a bit about the buildings that we passed, sites that were used for filming, and some of the nightlife of Cardiff. I may just book this one again when we're back in Cardiff.

Exciting and interesting

Emma_M, Jul 2022

Interesting information not just about doctor who but about Cardiff enjoyed every second and the tour guide Terrence was lovely and well knowledgeable

Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and approachable

Laura_W, Jul 2022

Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and approachable. I have mobility issues and use a stick and he was very considerate of this and then informed me when it would get longer periods of walking and said if I wanted I could meet my fiance at the end I could, but I chose to keep going because I found him so interesting and it was lovely to hear about different parts of the city as well as learning about different points in the Doctor Who universe. Would definitely recommend it to any Doctor Who fan.

Great walking tour of Dr. Who...

Reuben D R, Jul 2017

Great walking tour of Dr. Who filming sites. The guide did a nice job of setting the scene and showing stills of the production but it's still just every day sites that are made special by being in a TV series. Dr. Who fans will enjoy but some of the younger ones may get a bit tired of the walking around. However, we all really enjoyed it and recommend it!
