Absolutely fantastic experience! Booking the combo through Headout was super easy and smooth. The hop-on-hop-off bus tour gave us a great overview of London, the Thames river cruise was relaxing with beautiful views, and Madame Tussauds was a real highlight—especially for my granddaughter! Everything went perfectly, and it was great value for money with the 10% discount. Highly recommend!

We were there a few years ago and we have noticed that the figures are changing. Formerly there was an exhibition with the construction process of the figures that is no longer there, although attractions have been added, such as 3D cinema (it is not what we liked the most .....). I liked the previous one better (15 years ago...).
    • 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, 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!

    Visited around 1:30 PM and was pleasantly surprised—no crazy queues, just a smooth entry into one of the most iconic attractions in the city. The whole experience? Absolutely awesome. From the moment you step inside, it’s like being dropped into a parallel universe where you’re brushing shoulders with the world’s biggest stars—Beyoncé, The Rock, even the Royal Family (yes, they’re very still, but they look like they could blink any second). The attention to detail is mind-blowing. You’ll catch yourself doing double-takes at nearly every turn. One of the highlights? The Marvel 4D experience—like being caught right in the middle of an action movie! And don’t even get me started on the Star Wars zone… It’s every fan’s dream. The flow of the exhibit was surprisingly chill—no overwhelming crowds, just enough people to make it feel exciting without elbowing your way through. Whether you’re into celebrities, history, sports legends, or just want a fantastic photo op, this place delivers on all fronts. ⭐ Verdict: A must-do in London. Way more fun than expected. Leave your skepticism at the door—you’re about to take selfies with legends. ⭐

    Very enjoyable experience. Most of the figures are very t true to the person. VERY dissapointed in Princess Diana's statue . She was such a beautifull woman and had such lovely dresses. Her statue does her no justice.

    An exhibit, models, background sounds and decors. The train with London's history was amazing! And the scariest floor too.

    I was shocked at the entrance with the lady with a camera, thought she was real 😆 but generally had an wholesome experience
