You'll be thankful you took the tour.Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Reddit Share on WhatsApp Share on E-mailīBC Worldwide have announced more details on the official 50th anniversary Doctor Who convention in November. OVERALL: This was a great day that the entire family enjoyed. We weren't shown any Doctor Who sites in London or, aside from the castle, in Cardiff. You pay extra for The Doctor Who Experience itself, food and the optional Cardiff Castle tour. Cardiff is a nice place to see, with a pretty harbor and lovely Pierhead.ĬONS: The price tag is steep and basically just covers the ride to Cardiff and back a stop to see the police box in London. You are picked up/dropped off directly from your hotel. You get to see one of the few, still existing police boxes in London. There is some bonus Torchwood stuff in Cardiff as well. The 50 is for the group, not a per-person price, and totally worth it. It is a magical experience, and exciting for non-Whovians too. The add-on for Cardiff Castle is its own tour with a different guide who was a superfan and takes you where the general public can't go. The train wasn't running the day we went, so think of what a wrench that could throw in your plans. PROS: You aren't dependent on public transportation to get you to Cardiff. The guide will help out those in the group who aren't Whovians with interesting things too. He also had a great recommendation for a lunch spot. Our guide was nice, fun and completely delighted our son. The tour didn't match up with the exact description as listed in Viator, so I can't give it 5-stars, but it was a fantastic day that our family of 4 really enjoyed. There is a range of their fandom and knowledge base for the sites and how they relate to Doctor Who. This tour does seem to depend a lot on your specific guide.

We hadn't planned out doing that, but changed our mind at the last minute and WOW, was that a great decision. There is an optional private tour add-on for Cardiff Castle: DO IT. Not quite what I expected, but a trip highlight. Your tour finishes with an evening drop-off at your hotel. Returning to London, where you’ll see a genuine London police box and other Doctor Who filming locations. The castle tour is a must add on to the tour day. All of this and a walk through the TARDIS library.

Then it is off to Cardiff Castle (entry fee own expense) and a private personal tour of the Castle and the world of Doctor Who. After lunch enjoy further sightseeing in the city, See where the Autons ran riot, the church where Donna gets married, and see where a Cyberman is hiding right in the centre of the city, plus lots more (we would tell you but don't want to spoil the surprise. Hear about the Face of Boe, a fictional character ‘played’ by a huge mechanical head, and pass by Amy’s and Rory’s houses, two of the Doctor’s trusted sidekicks. Cruise by the American cafe, where the Doctor often meets up with his friends, and see places frequented by Captain Jack Harkness from the Torchwood Institute, an extraterrestrial-fighting team. After the approx three hours journey, travel into central Cardiff and scout of all the Doctor Who filming sites.
