About This Tour

  • Tour description

    Step into a stylish and secretive world on a walking tour through London’s most atmospheric streets on our Black Doves Tour.

    This guided experience takes you deep into the real-life locations that give Netflix’s acclaimed spy thriller its distinctive edge. From hidden lanes and elegant Georgian squares to bustling markets and iconic bridges, you’ll follow in the footsteps of the characters as they navigate their web of intrigue, danger and loyalty. Each stop on the route has been chosen to showcase the blend of glamour and grit that defines the series, offering you the chance to see London through the lens of high-stakes espionage.

    Your expert guide will reveal how the production team transformed familiar landmarks into clandestine meeting points, safe houses and surveillance sites. With behind-the-scenes stories, stills from the show and insider trivia, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the craft that goes into turning London into a living, breathing character on screen. Whether you’re a devoted fan of Black Doves, a lover of thrillers, or simply curious about film and TV production, this walk will change the way you look at the capital.

    The Black Doves Tour also highlights parts of London many visitors miss. You’ll explore atmospheric backstreets, historic pubs, grand civic buildings and contemporary riverside developments – all locations that frame the series’ storylines. Along the way you’ll discover fascinating snippets about London’s real-life espionage history and its enduring role as a backdrop for iconic spy dramas.

    By the end of the tour you won’t just have photos of memorable filming spots; you’ll have a richer sense of how London’s architecture and mood help create on-screen suspense. It’s an immersive experience that blends TV fandom with urban exploration, offering you a day of discovery, stories and cinematic vistas.

    If you’ve ever watched Black Doves and wondered exactly where those tense exchanges or breathtaking chases were filmed, this is your chance to stand on the very cobblestones where they happened. Whether on your own, with friends or as part of a group, the Black Doves Tour is an unforgettable way to step inside the world of the show – and uncover a side of London you never knew existed.

Great way to spend time in Port Isaac. We had a fantastic time with our guide Mike on the Doc Martin Walking tour. He was an extra on the show ( and also in the PBS Masterpiece new version of Poldark!). so had lots of inside tips to share, We enjoyed wandering around the village and seeing so many of the filming locations and several more places unique to Port Isaac. So much fun! Great way to spend time in Port Isaac. Thanks Mike!

Fantastic tour - make sure you can keep pace! Myself and my teenage son took part on this tour with our esteemed tour guide, Bill, and a number of other Whovian types (about 20 of us). It really was a whistle-stop tour of a lot of Who filming sites around Cardiff, packed with random bits of information and laughs with locals along the way. Starting at Cardiff Castle and doing a large loop to end up back at the National Museum, via Principality Stadium, Cardiff Station, many shopping streets and St John the Baptist Church, there were a lot of episodes and plenty of Whovian lore to cover! A couple of hours very well spent at a very reasonable cost for tickets but do bear in mind that the pace is quite quick - I think we lost at least one person on our tour at some point who was unable to keep up, so do make sure you are fit and able to join this walking tour. More than happy to recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Doctor Who. Great fun!

Good value with great driver/ guide We really enjoyed the Clarkson’s Farm Small Group Tour from the Cotswolds. It was great to see the key filming locations, and our driver‑guide, Martin, was both entertaining and highly knowledgeable, which made the journey genuinely engaging. Diddly Squat Farm itself is not particularly worth the long queues, but it was still good to see, and Martin’s commentary along the way made the visit feel worthwhile. The stops at The Farmer’s Dog site and Hawkstone Brewery were both excellent and added real value to the day. Overall, a very enjoyable tour with a driver who brought the whole experience to life.

Tidy! Really didn't know what to expect from this tour - 3 of us are big fans and the 4th, my husband, has seen a few episodes. All of us absolutely loved it! We were really lucky to have Terri as our guide and Dave (Damian) as our driver as they absolutely made it for us. We learned loads with lots of insider info and the destinations were amazing. We were also really lucky to meet Glenda who owns Gwens house, and it was her birthday so even more special!! There really is something for everyone regardless of whether you are a massive fan or not and we highly recommend it, and if you end up with Terri and Damian then that is the icing on the cake!

An exceptional Gavin & Stacey Tour! This was a brilliant tour from start to finish. Our guide Terri was so entertaining and knowledgeable, having been a chaperone to younger cast members on the final episode. She had also been an extra on an earlier episode. Our Dave, (actually Levi), drove the original coach expertly over challenging hills and narrow lanes. We visited so many locations that feature in the classic series. The tour represents very good value for money in terms of what you get.
