๐Ÿ“ฃ Our 2,000th tour took place yesterday, on 8 September 2026! ๐ŸŽ‰

Following 8 and a half years of tours in Cardiff (and a few in Swansea), it is a lovely milestone to finally reach and one I've been looking forward to for a while 2๏ธโƒฃ0๏ธโƒฃ0๏ธโƒฃ0๏ธโƒฃ

This one has been a long time coming โณ Between lots of rain, increasing heat waves, Covid, and maybe a little bit of increased competition sometimes, it's taken a lot of effort and persistence to make it to this landmark ๐Ÿ’ช

Tour number 2,000 was incredibly enjoyable too, thankfully landing on a day with a very nice group of enthusiastic people and with even some sunshine too. Thanks to everyone who joined the tour and made it such a memorable afternoon, and thanks for posing for a cheesy photo too ๐Ÿ“ธ

And thanks to everyone who has made this possible over the years too, as I certainly have not personally conducted every single one of these tours myself (just about 1,730 or so), so thanks to Andrew, Remo, Sal, Griff and others who have delivered tours expertly over the years. And of course to all the participants from around the world, a literal A-Z of Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everything you can think of in between ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ผ

๐ŸšถTours continue of course, as they always do. The regular Cardiff city public guided tour takes place multiple times per week all year round, while private tours are always possible on request. Other tours are also possible, be it of Cardiff Bay, Swansea, Mumbles, Cardiff's Arcades, Cardiff's darker history or even of filming locations of Doctor Who ๐Ÿ“บ

I tend to prefer saving things like this for the tours themselves, but Cardiff's secret Cyberman has been more widely known about for a while now anyway.... ๐Ÿค–

Right in the heart of Cardiff city centre, in St John the Baptist Church, there is a little bit of Doctor Who lore that is subtly hidden in plain sight. It's been there for 20 years, but many pass by the church daily without ever realising ๐Ÿ“…

๐ŸŽฅTo discover more about it, as well as dozens of other filming locations, why not join one of our Doctor Who tours. Private options are available anytime, but the next group tour is coming up this August bank holiday weekend, on Sunday, 30 August, at 1:30 from outside Cardiff Castle.

Our city isn't just great for residents - plenty of the things we enjoy attract visitors too. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Camping retailer Pitchup examined 50 UK cities, assessing destinations based on the ease and affordability of nearby outdoor escapes. They pointed how from Cardiff, you can get to a whopping 713 camping, glamping, and touring sites within a 90-minute journey. ๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸŒณ

So, Cardiff makes a brilliant base for tourists looking to explore South Wales and its beautiful walks, but the city itself has so much to offer. We've got such vibrant foodie, nightlife and independent shopping scenes, and it's easy to explore as the place is so walkable. ๐Ÿšถ

Taking a little break from tours for a few days. The regular Cardiff city tour next takes place on Friday, 14 August at 11am ๐Ÿ“….

Great name for a portaloo company! ๐Ÿšฝ

Womanby Street in Cardiff is already full of Doctor Who filming locations as it is, but recently spotted this alternative TARDIS during a busy day in the city. Probably should have used blue though ๐Ÿ”ต

Cardiff city centre is littered with dozens of actual filming locations from the world of Doctor Who spanning the last 21 years, so why not join us to find them on a tour of the city.

There are a couple of public, group Doctor Who tours taking place this month, on Saturday, 8 August and Sunday, 30 August, both at 1:30pm. All are welcome. Prices vary by age.

Maybe this has been here a while but just spotted the pattern today... The grassy bank that backs on to the old town wall on the east side of Cardiff Castle features a couple of musical notes.

A nice touch with all the gigs and festivals in the castle this summer ๐ŸŽต

Sad to see today in Cardiff Bay that the new plaque that replaced Ianto's Shrine has been removed/stolen. It's only been there a few weeks.

Proud as always to receive the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award ๐Ÿ† I think this is now at least the fifth year in a row to have received it ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Amazing to think that these tours of Cardiff, which were created out of thin air 8 years ago, are consistently in the top 10% of tours/attractions/things across the world ๐Ÿฆš long may that continue...๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ
