The best Cardiff film and TV tours

Doctor Who has been made in Cardiff since the series returned in 2005, and its spin-off Torchwood was set in Cardiff Bay. The film and TV tours on this page follow both. Shared walks cover either the city centre or Cardiff Bay, pointing out streets, buildings and waterfront spots that appeared on screen. Private versions take your group at its own pace, and one combines Doctor Who locations with a wider tour of the city.

Shared walks last about an hour and a half to two hours and, at the time of checking, were listed from about £26. Private tours were listed from about £150 for a three hour walk to about £355 for a four hour tour.

Before you book

Decide whether you want the city centre or Cardiff Bay, as they are separate walks about half an hour apart on foot. Locations are often ordinary streets and buildings, so the guide's photos and stories matter as much as the sites. Cardiff Bay is open to the wind off the water, so bring a layer. Shared walks run on set days, so check dates early if you are in Cardiff only briefly.
