Excellent tour. Guide was a true expert and loved the extra touches like his sonic screwdriver! Detail, fun facts and a lovely friendly guide. Thank you.
Terrance was a fantastic tour guide! He was very friendly and bubbly who kept the entire tour group engaged with jokes and amazing knowledge!
Excellent tour, passionate clearly genuine fan with a lot of knowledge
The 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.
Richard was brilliant! 10/10, just do it
Fantastic 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 fans. Our guide Richard was incredible. Definitely recommended for all Whovians.
Terence was very informative and a great tour guide. Would highly recommend.
Great tour of Cardiff Bay showing locations from Doctor Who and Torchwood. Also a few lovely bits of Cardiff history in there too! Pairs well with the tour around the city centre for a Doctor who day of fun! Tour guide was fun and engaging and knowledgeable. I enjoyed my time on the tour very much
Great Tour with Terrance. Thank you!
