“Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and approachable. I have mobility issues and use a stick and he was very considerate of this and then informed me when it would get longer periods of walking and said if I wanted I could meet my fiance at the end I could, but I chose to keep going because I found him so interesting and it was lovely to hear about different parts of the city as well as learning about different points in the Doctor Who universe. Would definitely recommend it to any Doctor Who fan.”
A private walking tour of Cardiff with a local host, tailored to your interests, from The Hayes to Cardiff Castle and Bay.
“The tour guide struggled to communicate due to her spoken English level. She was constantly struggling to find the words to explain something, but that's not the main problem. She seemed unprepared to give this tour and had very shallow knowledge of the city and its culture. The level of information she gave is equal to what you would get from the first 2 sentences of a Wikipedia article on the subject, and due to her poor English, we have to check Wikipedia constantly or read the information board of the historic buildings during the tour in order to understand anything she was talking about, if you'd like a clearer…”

He was a very professional guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him.”
