A must for Whovian fans - Terrance was brilliant! Very informative, took us around some of the locations from filming. A great experience, we are big fans and shared our knowledge with him. Nice to see the pictures he had, compare to the actual locations. 2.5 hours, a bit tiring, but worth it.

Dr Who - One of the best walking tours we have been on thanks to our guide Terence. One for big Dr Who fans and those that aren't. Amazing way to learn about Dr Who and Cardiff City.

A timey wimey sublimey adventure - I book this tour for my partner's birthday and it exceeded expectations. Our tour guide Richard was not only extremely knowledgeable but also very charismatic. He not only took us through the history of Doctor Who but also the history of Cardiff. I was presently suprised by how many different places around the world were portrayed in doctor who through this beautiful city. We had a wonderful time and if you're an avid Doctor who fan this is definitely a fantastic way to spend 3 hours couldnt recommend enough.

A brilliant tour by Terrance! - A brilliant tour by Terrance - we saw lots of locations from the show, including some we'd walked past earlier in the day without realising! We enjoyed Terrance's stories of his own experiences from living in Cardiff while filming was going on. There are a few locations we couldn't get into to see firsthand - e.g. service tunnels under the stadium - so Terrance had a photo book to show us the shots from the show that he was talking about which was a great visual aid. Definitely recommend for Whovians!

Cardiff TimeTour - I went with a family member who is a Dr Who enthusiast. I have only watched it occasionally. All the same I found the tour very interesting and enjoyable. Terence has obvious passion for his subject, and a lovely sense of humour. It was interesting to learn some of the techniques and behind the scenes stories. I enjoyed the extra, historical snippets too.

Great tour and very knowledgeable guide! - Great tour and very knowledgeable guide! Was so strange recognising all these places from the show without visiting them before! Shame we didn’t go to the Cardiff Bay area.
