Museums in London

I really liked my visit to the Madame Tussauds museum in London. It was magical, with two minor drawbacks though: the statues of Obama and Michael Jackson aren't completely successful. I was also surprised to discover that both attractions were included in the ticket price. An overall great experience! I really enjoyed my visit to Madame Tussauds in London. It was magical, although there were two minor drawbacks: the Obama and Michael Jackson wax figures weren't entirely convincing. I was also surprised to discover that both attractions were included in the ticket price. Overall, a very good experience!

An unforgettable experience at Madame Tussauds London! I visited on my own, but the immersive atmosphere made me feel like I had company the entire time. Every room had its own unique vibe, and each one was better than the last! From feeling like a Hollywood star surrounded by familiar faces, to stepping into the world of the British Royal Family, there was so much to explore. 👑 My absolute favorite was the little train ride through London’s history — such a fun and unexpected highlight! The serial killers section was fascinating, and the superheroes room was amazing, especially seeing Captain America… my forever crush! 🦸‍♂️❤️ Hands down, one of the most fun and interactive museums I’ve ever visited. Whether you’re going solo or with friends, I couldn’t recommend it more! ✨

A special place indeed, and the audio tour made the experience even more memorable. I’d recommend downloading DEXHEADOUT and having the tour ready before your visit.

At 8:00 AM, we walked along the Thames from the Harriott Hotel by the London Eye (which we booked this morning through this app) to the Tower, arriving right on time at 8:45 AM. We still had to wait about 45 minutes until entry, but that is normal and wasn't an issue at all in the sunny weather! Following the advice we’d received, we headed straight over to the Crown Jewels exhibition. That collection is truly impressive! The other areas are all interestingly designed as well. The entire castle and all its sections are in very good, well-maintained, and restored condition. You’d never believe that the Tower has several hundred years under its belt! The guards are all very friendly, but also take their duty very seriously! They are happy to let you take photos, but putting an arm around their shoulder—which one female tourist tried to do—was politely declined! The restrooms are also in very good condition. As a German, it's nice to see that some signs also provide information in German! However, exploring some of the areas does require good physical fitness. In the White Tower, you first walk through all 3 floors twice along the length and twice across the width before winding your way back down inside one of the turrets! The minimum 3 hours you should plan to see most areas fly by very quickly! If, like us, you also opt for Tower Bridge admission with a slightly cheaper combo ticket, take the stairs instead of the elevator (which we only noticed once we reached the top), and then walk all the way back to the hotel, you are guaranteed some serious muscle soreness the next day if you're an out-of-shape tourist! The meticulously maintained Engine Rooms of Tower Bridge are also very interesting. The steam engine looks so pristine that you’d think it was just built! Though back when it was still coal-fired, it probably looked a bit dustier! The rich green with contrasting pin-striping painted on all the moving parts shows that true craftsmen who loved their trade were at work here! All in all, a fantastic combo trip that is well worth doing twice in a lifetime! It’s a pity, though, that no guided tours are offered in German, but you rarely find those at British attractions anyway...

Honestly, the visit was incredible. Getting to experience firsthand the lifestyle of the crew on that steel giant was great—a true floating city. It's a visit packed with history that can easily take up an entire morning, plus it includes a free audio guide.

It was very quick and easy to get into Westminster Abbey. We got into a separate line first thing in the morning at 9:30 AM and only waited a few minutes.

Great organization and a beautiful place. The audio guide was well-made and interactive, which is rare. Very nice view from above. Arrive early to make sure you can go up to the top and visit the crypt.

We buy tickets online 1 hour before we decide to visit Tower Bridge. We bought it while we drink coffe at Sky Garden. Very simple and fast.
