Voltooi de Cardiff Doctor Who-wandeltocht
Beschrijving
Cardiff is de afgelopen twintig jaar een essentieel onderdeel geweest van Doctor Who, of het nu het Victoriaanse Londen, het New York van de Depressie of het huidige Parijs was. Gedurende twee en een half uur zullen we het hart en de ziel van Doctor Who in de hoofdstad van Wales ontdekken en 13 series van de show doorkruisen, terwijl we filmlocaties, belangrijke scènes en personages, maar ook cruciale gebouwen en straten bespreken. De Doctor Who Tour bestrijkt een reeks locaties, van Cardiff's Civic Centre tot het stadscentrum zelf en eindigt vervolgens in Cardiff Bay. Wat deze tour onderscheidend maakt ten opzichte van de Cardiff City Centre Doctor Who Tour-optie, is dat deze naast het centrale deel van de stad ook Butetown en Cardiff Bay omvat, dus meer scènes, meer locaties en meer Doctor Who!
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Cathays Park staat vol met gebouwen die een prominente rol hebben gespeeld in Doctor Who, waaronder het stadhuis, de Tempel van de Vrede, het Glamorgan-gebouw, de Universiteit van Cardiff en het Nationaal Museum. We zullen al deze gebouwen, de afleveringen waarin ze voorkomen en meer bespreken in het eerste deel van de tour.
Cardiff Castle is het middelpunt van de stad en het historische punt van waaruit de stad Cardiff is ontstaan. Het is ook af en toe te zien in Doctor Who, van Rebel Flesh in Series 6 tot Heaven Sent in Series 10.
De alledaagse, onschuldige straten van het stadscentrum van Cardiff spelen een cruciale rol in de ontwikkeling van het moderne Doctor Who. Terwijl het Civic Center-gebied misschien belangrijker is voor zijn gebouwen, is het winkelgebied van het stadscentrum van vitaal belang voor zijn zijstraten.
Het Principality Stadium is de thuisbasis van Welsh rugby, en ook de thuisbasis van de Stormcage Facilty en speelde een prominente rol in het eerste serieverhaal, 'Dalek'.
Dit gebied in de buitenwijk van Cardiff, dat het stadscentrum met Cardiff Bay verbindt, speelt vooral in Series 1 en 2 een grote rol. Ontdek waar de familie Tyler echt rondhing, waar ooit 'geesten' verschenen, waar Sally Sparrow inspecteur Billy Shipton ontmoette en nog veel meer...
Na ongeveer 90 minuten in het centrum van Cardiff gaan we verder naar Cardiff Bay. De ontwikkeling aan het water van de stad beschikt over een groot aantal locaties en gebouwen die uitgebreid aan bod kwamen in Doctor Who en zelfs in Torchwood, waaronder de Senedd, het Wales Millennium Centre, The Exchange en Roald Dahl Plass.

Eugene was an incredible tour guide: friendly, knowledge, enthusiastic, and extremely well versed in Doctor Who and Torchwood trivia. He showed us the sites of dozens of scenes from Doctor Who, including many details we would never have found on our own. He has a great photo book as a visual aid to help see how a given site was framed or decorated to fit into different episodes. Highly recommend. This was the high point of our trip to Cardiff (and we really liked Cardiff!)
Eugene gave us a truly special tour of sites of dozens of scenes from Doctor Who and Torchwood, with very knowledgeable commentary. Extremely friendly, engaging, and thorough. Cannot recommend highly enough.
The personal tour starting from Cardiff city center was precisely the experience we wanted, where we could ask questions at will and easily hear the answers. Eugene met us exactly where he said he would in a recognizable Doctor Who shirt. He asked us at the beginning what our favorite episodes/Doctors/companions were and it was nice how he referenced our replies throughout the tour. He seems to have good report with local businesses as we were able to go into several buildings to see internal filming locations. There was even a hidden "Easter egg" at one location that was fantastic to see, which I'll leave as a secret (hopefully other reviewers will leave it that way, too). Eugene was extremely knowledgeable about the new Doctor Who, which is what we wanted to hear about, so that was great. He also offered up information and was able to answer questions about Cardiff and Wales, which was wonderful for visitors wanting to know more about the area. Eugene was personable, really fun to talk to, and truly gave one of the best walking tours I've ever been on. Just please note--there is a good bit of walking in the open air without breaks, so wear comfortable shoes, and bring an umbrella in case of either rain or sun. If that is acceptable, you will love the tour!
Eugene was an excellent guide! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about Doctor Who facts, Easter eggs across the city, and Cardiff history in general, but he was a great conversationalist! The ~3 hours really flew by! If you're in Cardiff and want to see it through the Doctor Who lens, I could not recommend taking a tour with Eugene enough!
Eugene was a delightful and knowledgeable tour guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon in Cardiff with him. Very pleasant, very easygoing and knows Dr. Who's Cardiff like the back of his hand.
Eugene was such a lovely tour guide, my family and I did the doctor who tour in Cardiff. He met our slow American walking speed and was more than accommodating with our abundance of questions, need for breaks and questions about wales. Lovely tour, and a joy to be around. Highly recommend!
Eugene was extremely knowledgeable about Dr. Who and Torchwood and the filming that has been done in Cardiff. My husband isn't really a fan and Eugene was able to include him in the tour by discussing common interests and relating some of the history of various parts of Cardiff. As I'm a fan, it was a lot of fun to see the sights where Dr. Who has been filmed brought to life.
Our tour guide Eugene was amazing. He has been the best tour guide we have had yet. He was so knowledgeable of all the Dr Who episodes and showed us so many locations that we were in Wow every time. What I liked the most about him was that he engaged with my son by asking him direct questions like "what is your favorite episode" or "which Dr is your favorite". This helpped my son come out of his shell as he is very quiet and didn't know what to expect from the tour. My son is a big Dr. Who fan and that is why we went to Cardiff and booked this tour. My son is still talking about the tour weeks after coming back. We just bought the 13th Dr Who series with Jodie Whittaker and in the very 1st episode the police station that Eugene showed us was in it! My son yelled "That's the police station" before I could even take it in. Eugene really did his research and showed us more then we could even imagine. Thank you Eugene for being a great tour guide and now a friend. If you are thinking of booking this tour you should do it quick before it gets full.
My family really enjoyed the tour. It was wonderful for several of our group who are big Dr. Who fans. Very comprehensive and the guide was knowledgeable.
Eugene was a brilliant host. I booked this as a birthday treat since I'm a big fan of the show and I loved it! Even though it was raining, he made the tour funny and enjoyable finding shelter for us when he could. With reference to all the Doctor Who episodes on hand, we were able to see many filming locations and explain a bit of Cardiff history too. If you're a Doctor Who fan and visiting Cardiff it's a no brianer to go on the tour!
