I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of BBC Wales and the guides (Gareth and Gareth!) were very accommodating for my visual impairment and answered lots of questions from the group. It would never helpful to know I could’ve left my bag in a cloakroom beforehand as I wasted time taking it to my hotel before the tour when I didn’t need to.

We had a fantastic time at the studios and the tour guides were all amazing aswell and very knowledgable! And if you’re a Doctor Who fan, always worth mentioning it to the guides as you may get to see the outfits and props that they have there! Would recommend!

Excellent tour, the guides were very informative and funny, did it with a 12yo child who loved it. Visited audio recording studios, live radio, live TV, spoke to a member of staff. Very eye opening as to all the work that goes on behind the scenes.

Fantastic experience, the tour guides were very friendly, helpful and very informative. Time just flew by. It was great to get a peep behind the scenes. I now watch Wales Today with new eyes! I'd definitely do this tour again 😊

Great tour, but will review without spoilers. Excellent tour guides, who are very knowledgeable and took us every where they could, given live sound and tv broadcasts were going on whilst we were there. Lots of technology on show and explanations of how it workedBe prepared for airport style security on entry with pockets emptied and bags etc scanned. Good free cloakroom facilities so you don't have to carry costs around either you. Recommended totally
