About this tour
Walk through Cardiff's role as the behind-the-scenes home of Doctor Who over 20 years, spotting the streets and buildings that doubled as Victorian London, 1930s New York, and contemporary Paris across 13 series. This 2.5-hour guided tour spans the Civic Centre, city core, and Cardiff Bay—covering more ground and more filming locations than the standard city-centre route alone. Your guide unpacks how specific scenes were shot, which characters appeared where, and the architectural landmarks that made it all work.

What to expect
Expect a steady, interpretive walk through three distinct areas of Cardiff, connected by your guide's knowledge of when and how each location appeared on screen. You'll recognise facades, alleyways, and public spaces that the production team repurposed for the show. The pace suits most fitness levels, and the route is fully accessible. Bring appropriate footwear for city pavements and weather-dependent clothing—you're outside for the full 2.5 hours, moving between stops.
