As whovians with classic and new series enjoyment, we were looking forward to seeing filming locations and getting some local context to associate with some of the scenes and stories we love. As a transgender couple making a long-planned trip to an increasingly transphobic country, we were prepared for many situations to be uncomfortable if not outright hostile. Our originally-scheduled guide was replaced last-minute, and we did have to wait a few minutes extra for our replacement to arrive, but it was very worth it. Dewi was smart, funny, and welcoming, a fellow whovian and familiar with a variety of sci-fi fandoms, as well as being supportive of the progressive values that have been projected by our favorite fictional worlds. An academic and performer, he was erudite and amusing, following his given script as expected while also adding personal touches based on our shared experiences as he got to know us.

Absolutely fantastic way to see most of the major landmarks of London - and all the better through the lens of Doctor Who. Michael was a wonderful guide and told us so much more than we expected about not only the episodes but behind the scenes tidbits and local history as well. (Also, huge thanks for taking us on this tour in the wind, cold, and rain on the only day we had available; so appreciated). Highly recommend!
