Cardiff has been an essential part of Doctor Who for the last 20 years, be it as Victorian London, Depression era New York or present day Paris. Across two and a half hours, we will discover the heart and soul of Doctor Who in the Welsh capital, and traverse 13 series of the show, while discussing filming locations, important scenes and characters, as well as crucial buildings and streets. The Doctor Who Tour covers a range of locations from Cardiff's Civic Centre area to the city centre itself and then finishes in Cardiff Bay.
What makes this tour distinctive to the Cardiff City Centre Doctor Who Tour option is that is includes Butetown and Cardiff Bay in addition to the central area of the city, so more scenes, more locations and more Doctor Who!

5.00Eugene was a delightful and knowledgeable tour guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon in Cardiff with him. Very pleasant, very easygoing and knows Dr. Who's Cardiff like the back of his hand.

5.00Eugene was such a lovely tour guide, my family and I did the doctor who tour in Cardiff. He met our slow American walking speed and was more than accommodating with our abundance of questions, need for breaks and questions about wales. Lovely tour, and a joy to be around. Highly recommend!

5.00Eugene was extremely knowledgeable about Dr. Who and Torchwood and the filming that has been done in Cardiff. My husband isn't really a fan and Eugene was able to include him in the tour by discussing common interests and relating some of the history of various parts of Cardiff. As I'm a fan, it was a lot of fun to see the sights where Dr. Who has been filmed brought to life.
Best Dr Who tour ever!

5.00Our tour guide Eugene was amazing. He has been the best tour guide we have had yet. He was so knowledgeable of all the Dr Who episodes and showed us so many locations that we were in Wow every time. What I liked the most about him was that he engaged with my son by asking him direct questions like "what is your favorite episode" or "which Dr is your favorite". This helpped my son come out of his shell as he is very quiet and didn't know what to expect from the tour. My son is a big Dr. Who fan and that is why we went to Cardiff and booked this tour. My son is still talking about the tour weeks after coming back. We just bought the 13th Dr Who series with Jodie Whittaker and in the very 1st episode the police station that Eugene showed us was in it! My son yelled "That's the police station" before I could even take it in. Eugene really did his research and showed us more then we could even imagine. Thank you Eugene for being a great tour guide and now a friend. If you are thinking of booking this tour you should do it quick before it gets full.
Great experience for Dr. Who fans.

5.00Eugene was a brilliant host. I booked this as a birthday treat since I'm a big fan of the show and I loved it! Even though it was raining, he made the tour funny and enjoyable finding shelter for us when he could. With reference to all the Doctor Who episodes on hand, we were able to see many filming locations and explain a bit of Cardiff history too. If you're a Doctor Who fan and visiting Cardiff it's a no brianer to go on the tour!
Doctor Who? More like Doctor Where? There! Oh yeah! That's where they filmed Doctor Who!

5.00A truly joyous experience. A very exciting and thorough tour spanning across a number of different Doctors along with visual and descriptive reminders of where the filming locations fit in to the show. The tour guide Eugene was very friendly and professional as well as patient and encouraging with my photo taking and question asking. Thank you Eugene. I would highly reccomend.
Great Time and Great Tour Guide!
