Location location location - I am not a massive Dr Who fan and I still enjoyed it. It was cool to see the locations and how they were used in the episodes. There was local history as well. I was flagging physically at the end of 2 1/2 hours but I am more mature. I now know Cardiff really well.

Enjoyable, informative, interesting - worth it. - Terence, our Guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable with photographs to show how the different locations were seen during the Dr Who programme. The walk is flat (a few stairs at the museum only) and lasted over 2 1/2 hours. Highly recommend this walking tour.

Dr Who Cardiff city walking tour in Death Valley temperatures. - It was a great way to experience not only Dr Who filming locations but the city of Cardiff itself. The guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and having worked on many of the Dr Who shows as well as other BBC productions he was a mine of information on these topics.
Despite the sizzling weather he maintained a high level of energy and shepherded our group of twenty people of varying ages expertly around the route without completely wearing anyone out.

Whovians - Very informative and interesting guided tour, would be extra special if the tour was able to access areas where filming had occurred eg. In the actual castle library etc. The guide was very knowledgeable and didn’t hesitate to share his many experiences of being an extra in the Doctor Who series’.

Great for those who love Doctor Who - Excellent tour, knowledgeable and friendly host, and funny too.
Did have a funny moment where we arrived at a filming spot and Bill said Welcome to Gloucester and a lady with suitcases walking past shouted it's not Gloucester it's Cardiff.

Highly recommended - Excellent tour. The guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and also managed to make it interesting for those less familiar with the whole Who Universe. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours and we covered quite a lot of ground so wear good footwear!

Very good - The Dr Who walk round Cardiff City centre was very informative and a must for fans visiting Cardiff. Our tour guide Bill was very knowledgeable and kept the group involved, The only reason for not been 5 stars was the fact due to traffic and usual noisy city centre noise sometimes it was not easy to hear everything that was said. Maybe with help of technology there maybe a way to overcome this in the future, but overall it was very good, make sure you wear comfortable footwear.

Nice but not amazing - The tour was really long and wasn't as interesting or engaging as I had hoped it would be. There was no behind the scenes information that would make this better than doing this tour self-guided
