I highly recommend it to any Doctor Who fan. It's great to have a guide (David) who's so knowledgeable and passionate about their job. The tour was a treat to my 15-year-old son, but even I , (not a massive fan, just watched several episodes) really enjoyed it.

This was a great tour. Very informative and he adjusted to our interests and level of knowledge. Gave us a great baseline of places to return to. Perfect start to our Cardiff stay.

Eugene was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly loved Dr. Who. All of this made for a delightful walk around Cardiff, and made our tour money well-spent.

An excellent tour ot Cardiff with a very nice and skilled guide.

Very pleasant guide (James) with whom we had a pleasant time!
