Dr Who Walking Tour Reviews
I recently took David’s Doctor Who walking tour in Waterloo, and I must say, it was everything I’d hoped for and more. David’s grasp of both Doctor Who lore and local history was unparalleled, making for a seamlessly educational and entertaining experience. Encountering the Daleks on Westminster Bridge was an absolute highlight, and David’s exploration of the series’ cultural impact left me pondering long after the tour had ended. A must-do for any Doctor Who fan!
David’s guided tour was a masterclass in blending fact and fiction. I was especially captivated by the segment that focused on the internal BBC politics that influenced the series. I walked away not only a more knowledgeable Doctor Who fan but also more informed about the vibrant history of Waterloo and the Southbank. Highly recommended!

This walking tour is unique in its approach — it’s not often you find a tour that balances pop culture and historical elements so well. David’s storytelling skill kept us engaged as he delved into the diverse time periods and dimensions of Doctor Who. The moment we talked about the Sonic Screwdriver near the London Eye was unforgettable. A sublime experience!
I cannot praise David’s Doctor Who tour enough. His engaging manner and deep-rooted knowledge of the series and the Waterloo area were impressive. Learning about Charlie Chaplin’s influence on the Doctor’s second regeneration was an unexpected but delightful twist. Even non-Whovians would enjoy this carefully curated experience.
David is not just a tour guide; he’s an experience-maker. The way he linked the Mandela effect theory with the series was ingenious. I loved how the tour covered not only the show’s iconic landmarks but also offered an insider look into the local history of Waterloo. This is not a mere fan pilgrimage, but a sophisticated, multi-layered tour.
David’s tour was like stepping into a living encyclopedia of Doctor Who and London history. Each site we visited, from the Seacole statue to the Southbank, felt like a page out of a storybook. The little-known facts about the Doctor Who movie that never was added an air of mystery. All in all, an outstanding experience that shouldn’t be missed!
