We took a private tour of the DW sights in Cardiff, our guide Matt was amazing!! And he's had the pleasure of being an extra in DW, 5 times. So he had tons of great stories, and knew the shooting locations well. Super knowledgeable, friendly! My family love the new DW series. And it was really nice to find our... More

My sister and I had a really good time when we did the tour and it was a really hot and sunny day too. I'm a huge fan of the show and dragged her along and even though she didn't really recognise what we were being shown she enjoyed going to the different places and used it more as a... More

My son and I had the opportunity to do one of your private Doctor Who tours and it was a blast! Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. He made the experience very special, from showing photos of the locations we were seeing as they actually appeared in the show, to sharing backstage anecdotes, and even having us reenact a... More

I did this tour with my husband and a friend last weekend and had an absolutely wonderful time. I'm a huge fan of both Doctor Who and the spin-off series Torchwood, and was really impressed by the knowledge of our guide. One really great thing was that our guide had a binder with screencaps/photos to remind us of the scenes,... More

If you don't know Cardiff at all, its a great way to get around and visit the locations. - The tour was 4 hours and the tour started by visiting the church Donna nearly got married in, The Queens Arcade from Rose, Henriks - Rose's shop. We got on the bus to the National museum of Wales where they filmed... More

Even though we live in Cardiff I booked this tour as a 7th birthday treat for my young grandson who is an avid Dr. Who fan. Sadly, I wish i had not bothered. Whilst the guide was was informative he started the trip by offering us him 'mobile' number in case we got lost. Little did we realise we would... More

We were on the Sunday 24th April tour. I was bringing my Dr Who fan son who is 9 (that's my excuse anyway). I hadn't noticed that the tour is advertised as 4 hours long, and I couldn't believe that 4 hours had passed by the end of it. It was just the right length and I should have realised... More

Absolutely excellent afternoon. The tour guide was knowledgeable and approachable. Took in many of the sites in and around Cardiff where Doctor Who has been filmed, along with Torchwood and Sarah Jane's Adventures. I won't say too much and spoil the surprise!! Be advised.... there is quite a bit of walking involved. More
