Great tour for Dr Who and Torchwood fans

4.00We really enjoyed this tour, but it's probably good to allow slightly longer than an hour and a half for it as the commentary gave a lot of information for us to digest. It took a while to get our bearings at the start, and we took extra time exploring each location and recreating Dr Who and Torchwood scenes. We'd definitely recommend this for all fans!
