Your Experience

Cardiff Bay is the beating heart of the Doctor Who universe. This walking tour reveals exactly why.

Tour Highlights

Starting at the Wales Millennium Centre, you'll explore the streets, waterfront, and hidden corners that have doubled as alien worlds, Parisian galleries, and Torchwood's headquarters. You'll walk through Butetown, along Windsor Esplanade, and into the Cardiff Bay Wetlands before finishing on the bustling waterfront.

You'll visit Ianto's shrine, step inside the Welsh Parliament, and find the spots where the Doctor's companions ate breakfast, had dinner, and said their goodbyes. Cardiff's wider story is woven in too, including its industrial history as a once-thriving docklands area, the site where the world's first million-pound cheque was signed, and how Wales became one of the fastest-growing film and television economies in the world.

Your guide is a licensed tourist guide and founder of her own Wales-based tour company. She blends history, humour, and sharp storytelling to bring every location to life, with an eye for the details that guidebooks miss.
