5.00The guide, Richard, was a real Doctor Who fan and he had also had small parts in the series himself. He showed us many sites and had a photo from the actutal episode as a reference. He also told some Cardiff history which we much appreciated.

5.00Fantastic walking tour! Our tour guide, Richard, was wonderful - he was super friendly and knowledgeable about all things Doctor Who and Cardiff Bay. We got to see some Torchwood filming locations as well which was an added bonus. And when we got to Ianto's Shrine, there was some filming going on and Richard was kind enough to let us stay a bit longer so we could be part of it :) Highly recommend for any Doctor Who/Torchwood fan - even my partner, who has never watched an episode of Doctor Who in his life, enjoyed it :) Would recommend pairing this with the Cardiff City Centre tour in the morning.
Great tour for Doctor Who...
