The best Cardiff private tours

Private tours in Cardiff are mostly walks with your own guide. Options include a general city walk taking in Cardiff Castle, the Victorian arcades and the civic centre, a half-day walk covering more ground, a Doctor Who walk, a dark history tour and a two hour walk with a local who shares the city's Welsh story. For a full day out, a private car tour visits castles across South Wales. Self-guided audio tours of Llandaff, Cardiff Bay and Doctor Who locations are also listed for those who prefer to go alone.

Guided walks last two to four hours. At the time of checking, they were listed from about £41 to £275, with the full-day castles tour from about £430. Self-guided audio tours were listed from about £5 to £15.

Before you book

Check whether the price covers the whole group or each person. Entry to Cardiff Castle is usually separate. The centre is flat and compact, which makes long walks easy going. On Wales home rugby match days around the Principality Stadium, central streets are very crowded, so plan a private walk for another day if you can.
