Private English walking tour of Cardiff: Roman to Gothic Castle, markets, rugby stadium, arcades and parklands, with a friendly guide.

Doctor Who Cardiff City Walking Tour from Cardiff Castle to 30+ filming sites, guided and photo-friendly, ending in central Cardiff.
“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…”
Guided family gorge walking near Llangollen. Wet suit and life jacket included, small groups, about two hours, starting in Corwen.
“We met our brilliant guide at a near by car park and followed him to the gorge. We were given wet suits and life jackets and made our way down into the water. Our guide was friendly and chatty and knowledgeable about other trips and outdoor adventures. We walked through the gorge, some bits were shallow, some deep, some slippy, but we felt safe with our guide. I am not normally a huge outdoorsy person and the trip did push my boundaries, but I overcame the fear and it was all very very fun. I would definitely recommend the trip and the Whitewater company.”
Small-group walk in Penarth with panoramic Bristol Channel views and local history led by Peter. Free entry stops, 1-2 hours.
“This was an excellent way to spend 2 hours. Peter, the guide, gives a thoughtful walk through of the social geography of Penarth. His deep knowledge of the history of the region, indeed of Britain generally, means that he easily answers all sorts of questions - on architecture, on social structure, on historical politics, on culture: He loves and appreciates Penarth and this is very obvious. This is clearly a labour of love. I am so pleased that we did this- including my partner, who started off a bit skeptically, and ended wanting more. Thanks Peter.”
Walk top Doctor Who and Torchwood filming spots across Cardiff with Eugene on a private 2.5-hour tour, ending at Roald Dahl Plass.
“Eugene was our guide & he is amazing! I didn't realize I booked a private tour, but it was amazing for my husband to chat with another huge Dr. Who fan! Eugene knows his stuff & the tour was extensive & detailed. It poured rain during our 4 hour tour but we honestly didn't care. Highly recommend!”
Walk Cardiff with a native English guide in four hours, from Cardiff Castle to the Senedd, with Welsh culture, views, and smart food tips.
“Eugene was a great guide who took the time to really explain the history and sights of Cardiff--there was so much about its history that I now understand. He kept the group together and gave us many suggestions as to where to go to eat or visit for more information after the tour was over. He was a very professional guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him.”
A self-guided Doctor Who and cinematic Cardiff walking tour with GPS audio and offline maps, hitting top filming spots and ending at a pub.

A private Doctor Who walking tour of Cardiff, chasing filming locations, London doubles, and Torchwood sights with a guide you can tailor.
“James was a fantastic tour guide and took us to a tonne of different Doctor Who locations. He knew just as much or more about the show than I did, which is impressive as I am a huge nerd. Highly recommended!”
Meet alpacas at Fronserth Farm Alpacas in Llandrindod Wells, take them for a farm walk, and enjoy Welsh countryside views.
