Unofficial Doctor Who Cardiff Bus Tour
Prepare yourself for an intergalactic adventure as we take you on a tour of Doctor Who Cardiff Locations where much of the show has been filmed since its return in 2005.
Starting with a short walk around the city centre you will then go on a bus journey around Cardiff to see where the rift cracked open, Amy Pond’s village, Rose Tyler’s workplace, sites from Doctor Who spin offs – The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood, plus many other interesting Doctor Who locations and landmarks along the way.
You’ll learn how the show is made, get trivia about some of the stars from the show and throughout the tour you’ll have the chance to stop on several occasions, stretch your legs, take pictures and see the locations up close. It’s also a great way to see Cardiff and its surrounding areas as we visit the National Museums of Cardiff and Wales, the Bay area, the City Centre and the suburbs.
The tour will be guided by knowledgeable Doctor Who experts some of whom have been extras in several episodes of the show.
Please note that as there will be walking involved in the tour it may not be suitable for those with mobility or health problems. The tour will finish back at Cardiff Castle (until May). FAQs
PLEASE NOTE: From June 2012 the tour will take 3 hours and finish at the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff Bay where you will get to see real costumes and props from the show. This tour will include a limited number of City Centre and Bay locations. For a more in-depth tour of City and Bay locations the Doctor Who Cardiff Walking Tour is available from June 2012.
