⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Visiting Madame Tussauds was such a fun and unforgettable experience! The wax figures are incredibly lifelike – it honestly feels like you’re standing next to real celebrities, world leaders, and historic icons. I loved how interactive the exhibits are, giving plenty of opportunities for photos and even some immersive experiences that make you feel part of the scene. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place was well-organized, making it easy to explore without feeling rushed. It’s a perfect outing for families, friends, or even solo visitors who want something unique and entertaining. I left with so many great photos and memories – definitely a must-visit attraction in London!

The experience was of course memorable as it always is but was hoping to see more K-pop stars like not seeing a BTS felt like incomplete its globally renowned artists sooooo global icons should be there. Secondly Modi Ji has bought India to the world and so would think more world leaders like him would be there. Also was searching for boards to read on people we didn't recognise but couldn't find so many of them to read. Otherwise can't complain memorable

On the one hand, I think it's nice that online bookings make admission much better organized, but on the other hand I had to download another app. No option to pay if you are severely disabled. The characters were very good, but sometimes it was very slow. The music in the sections was simply too loud. The organization with the indoor track, the cinema and the possibility to get photos of yourself was also very good.
    • From Big Ben to the Big Blue, hop on and off at London’s landmarks, and get up close with celebrities at Madame Tussauds, all while saving money.

    • Zip around London as many times as you like on the hop-on hop-off buses taking you past 50+ stops like Baker Street, Piccadilly Circus, and more.

    • Onboard, be entertained with a multilingual audio guide, glide along the Thames on a relaxing cruise with an English-speaking guide, and see the city from a whole new angle.

    • No need to play paparazzi at Madame Tussauds, as the celebs stay put and never say no to a selfie. Talk about getting star treatment!

    • Pose with 150+ eerily lifelike icons, from Benedict Cumberbatch to Kate Winslet and British royalty, then dive into 4D thrills and a ride through London’s wild past!

    Visit to Madame Tussauds. Wasnt the best of trips, crowd control outside was very poor. People queue jumping. Once inside it was very packed, exhibits etc was great some fantastic statues but didnt spend very long there due to overcrowding. Was really looking forward to the trip but honestly did not enjoy it & also skipped exhibitions inside again due to huge queues. Overall disappointing.

    Everything went perfectly, we didn't have to queue at all. Our family really enjoyed the visit! We were thrilled by the great wax figures, the staging & the diversity of the exhibition! Highly recommended & worth every penny.

    Booking tickets online was easy, and because we visited in October, it wasn't crowded. Highly recommend visiting in the off season!
