What Can I Expect

Explore 900 years of time and space on our Cardiff Doctor Who Tours! No need for a TARDIS to see these Doctor Who filming locations, you'll have a sci-fi expert host who will show you the Who-niverse!

We are offering vouchers for the Doctor Who Cardiff City tour, the Cardiff Bay tour or both. The walking tours are guided and last around two hours.

Cardiff has been the home of the famed BBC TV series since its reboot in 2005 and indeed, Doctor Who is a massive part of the city. The hit BBC show regularly films in and around Cardiff and many of the Welsh capital's most famous landmarks have featured.

As well as being a fab insight for Doctor Who fans, these tours are also a great way to see all the best touristy and historical bits of Cardiff too, albeit with a bit of a Time Lord twist, from Christopher Eccleston to Ncuti Gatwa's era. The idea that the Doctors can regenerate and re-incarnate means the time travel science fiction programme could, in theory, go on for ever and ever, as long as they don't run out of filming locations in Cardiff that is!

Lots of big-hitter sights in Cardiff have been used in the Doctor Who series and feature on the City tour, including Cardiff Castle and the National Museum of Wales, which is perhaps best known for the epic 50th anniversary 'Day of the Doctor' cinema simulcast with Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt.

Further afield on the Bay tour, you’ll love seeing the Senedd, the Welsh parliament building that has been a futuristic backdrop for many an alien invasion. This tour doesn't forget the spin off shows either, as you get to see where the Torchwood HQ is at Roald Dahl Plass.

Whether you’re a dedicated Who-vian, or just curious to explore wonderful Cardiff in a different way to the usual tourist tour, we highly recommend these Doctor Who tours of Cardiff city and bay!
