Cardiff has been an essential part of Doctor Who for the last 20 years, be it as Victorian London, Depression era New York or present day Paris. Across two and a half hours, we will discover the heart and soul of Doctor Who in the Welsh capital, and traverse 13 series of the show, while discussing filming locations, important scenes and characters, as well as crucial buildings and streets. The Doctor Who Tour covers a range of locations from Cardiff's Civic Centre area to the city centre itself and then finishes in Cardiff Bay. What makes this tour distinctive to the Cardiff City Centre Doctor Who Tour option is that is includes Butetown and Cardiff Bay in addition to the central area of the city, so more scenes, more locations and more Doctor Who!

What's included in the package

Itinerary

Cathays Park - Cardiff Civic Centre

Cathays Park is full of buildings that have featured prominently in Doctor Who, including City Hall, the Temple of Peace, the Glamorgan Building, Cardiff University and the National Museum. We will discuss all of these buildings, the episodes they feature in, and more, across the first section of the tour.

Cardiff Castle

Cardiff Castle is the centre piece of the city, and the historical point from which the city of Cardiff emerged. It has also featured in Doctor Who occasionally, from Rebel Flesh in Series 6 to Heaven Sent in Series 10.

The everyday innocuous streets of Cardiff city centre play a vital role in the development of modern Doctor Who. While the Civic Centre area might be more significant for its buildings, the shopping area of the city centre is vital for its side streets.

Principality Stadium

The Principality Stadium is the home of Welsh rugby, and also the home of the Stormcage Facilty and played a prominent role in the the first series story, 'Dalek'.

Admission Ticket Not Included

This area of suburban Cardiff, linking the city centre to Cardiff Bay, players a major role in Series 1 & 2 in particular. Discover where the Tyler family really hung out, where 'ghosts' once appeared, where Sally Sparrow met DI Billy Shipton and a lot more...

Cardiff Bay

Following 90 minutes or so in Cardiff city centre, we move on to Cardiff Bay. The city's waterfront development features a host of locations and buildings that have featured extensively in Doctor Who, and even Torchwood, including the Senedd, the Wales Millennium Centre, The Exchange and Roald Dahl Plass.

Eugene researched and designed this tour himself. He was knowledgeable and gave plenty of time on each part of the tour to ask questions. He was willing to take photos for us and even allowed a time for buying souvenirs. He was very friendly and engaging. Highly recommended!
