Highlights
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!
