A fab walk! - Richard was so easy to listen to and was obviously passionate about Dr Who. The tour was well paced and the sites really interesting. A lovely way to see round Cardiff as well as finding out fun facts about the Whoniverse!

Great tour, very enjoyable - The tour was fantastic, the whole family including the less enthusiastic whovians had a great time, even though the weather was inclement we all really enjoyed it. Terrance was knowledgeable and warm, his passion came across from the very beginning. I’d fully recommend this tour to anyone.

Fab for Dr Who fans! - Thank you to our guide Richard, who was knowledgeable and so interesting. He engaged well with our group and took an interest in what we had to say also. The walk was at a good pace and the group was quite small - which was nice, as we were able to keep together and were able to listen to everything he was saying. He was interactive with the group and obviously has a passion for Dr Who - as had the majority of the group. It was lovely to have a walk around Cardiff, where Richard also gave us some historical/local facts as well as Dr Who filming location information. Unfortunately, we had our second walking tour of the day cancelled, (Cardiff Bay tour), the night before. We had travelled quite a distance to do the two in one day, so were obviously disappointed. Although we had the offer to re-book, due to us being the other side of the Country, we requested a refund which was issued immediately - thank you. Would certainly recommend one of these tours. The weather was glorious too.

Cardiff's contribution to Dr. Who - What a wonderful experience. For 2 1/2 hours he took us throughout Cardiff to show us locations where episodes of Dr. Who were filmed. If you are also a fan of Torchwood, he provided some insight into some aspects of that series. Well worth the cost.

Fun Dr. Who tour - The guide really knew his stuff. Plus he had pictures of each site showing scenes from the show. He was also knowledgeable about Torchwood sites which I was also interested in.

A must have for all - no requirement to be a fan - I'm not a Dr Who fan myself but this is did not matter. We had a great old walk around Cardiff with Terrance. It's did not matter what your interest level was as Terrance was very knowledgeable and engaging not only about the show but regarding Cardiff too. Went home and watched a couple of episodes with bits of what we saw in those shows. Fab. Recommended!

So fun, a great guide with fun Dr. Who facts! - The is the first guided walking tour my husband and I have ever taken and it was perfect! Our guide was fun and enthusiastic about Dr. Who (important if you're likely leading around a group of fans) and would merrily chat with any one of us about the show. He had slides which was so great in helping us remember scenes we were seeing. The pace was casual, friendly and unhurried so we were able to enjoy the indoor and outdoor sights. He even began the tour with his sonic screwdriver, which could be viewed as silly but due to his excitement, it was fun awesome. He pulled it out a couple times to change the street lights in our favor when we needed to cross an intersection and it even worked once! So similar to when the Doctor forgets to get the settings right. We would absolutely sign up for another tour with this group in the future.
