Cardiff's contribution to Dr. Who - What a wonderful experience. For 2 1/2 hours he took us throughout Cardiff to show us locations where episodes of Dr. Who were filmed. If you are also a fan of Torchwood, he provided some insight into some aspects of that series. Well worth the cost.

Fun Dr. Who tour - The guide really knew his stuff. Plus he had pictures of each site showing scenes from the show. He was also knowledgeable about Torchwood sites which I was also interested in.

Amazing tour, amazing city - Our tour guide was amazing and he was easy to find next to the entrance of the castle with his sonic screwdriver. He took us to so many places I wouldn't have even known about and was very knowledgeable. Even though we didn't go to Torchwood as it was a bit too far to walk, he did mention some cool places there that I missed like Ianto's shrine. It was so cool being surrounded by so many Doctor Who fans. I would do this tour again, just for that.

A must have for all - no requirement to be a fan - I'm not a Dr Who fan myself but this is did not matter. We had a great old walk around Cardiff with Terrance. It's did not matter what your interest level was as Terrance was very knowledgeable and engaging not only about the show but regarding Cardiff too. Went home and watched a couple of episodes with bits of what we saw in those shows. Fab. Recommended!

So fun, a great guide with fun Dr. Who facts! - The is the first guided walking tour my husband and I have ever taken and it was perfect! Our guide was fun and enthusiastic about Dr. Who (important if you're likely leading around a group of fans) and would merrily chat with any one of us about the show. He had slides which was so great in helping us remember scenes we were seeing. The pace was casual, friendly and unhurried so we were able to enjoy the indoor and outdoor sights. He even began the tour with his sonic screwdriver, which could be viewed as silly but due to his excitement, it was fun awesome. He pulled it out a couple times to change the street lights in our favor when we needed to cross an intersection and it even worked once! So similar to when the Doctor forgets to get the settings right. We would absolutely sign up for another tour with this group in the future.

Delightful tour for whovians and non-whovians alike - Thanks to Terrance for a wonderful tour!
He was well prepared and knowledgeable on everything about The Doctor.
He made this tour interesting for the whovians, but also included the people that got "dragged along". The stills he carried made the show come alive at the filming sites. We also learned a lot about Cardiff and its history and the two and a half hours just flew by.

Great guide, misleading description - Our guide, Terrance, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and really brought the story of the tour to life.
One quibble, though: the Viator description says castle entry is included in the fee, but we were told we weren't going in the castle because castle entry costs extra. I was disappointed because I was eager to see the castle again. Please update the description.

Good Tour - It was interesting and helped me get a quick grip on the layout of downtown Cardiff. Wish there had been a halfway water closet stop. Guide knew his Cardiff and his Doctor Who.
