About This Tour

Tour description
In partnership with the London Transport Museum / Hidden London we are delighted to be able to offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes Charing Cross Station Tour. The tour of the London Underground Station features spots regularly seen on screen and stands in for a working tube station.
On this Charing Cross Station Tour, you’ll see the empty platforms, tunnels and escalators of this now empty station and visit areas not accessible to the general public.
Although it has been closed to the general public since 1999 productions to have used this station include the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall, Thor 2, The Bourne Ultimatum and it was also seen in the first episode of Series 3 of BBC’s Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. In the second series of Killing Eve a scene was filmed on the platform with Eve (Sandra Oh).

 Verified 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!

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!
