It's okay. There was a queue but it moves fast. A nice way to spend the afternoon in an air-conditioned environment especially during hot summers in London.

Great experience with many things to see. Recommend to join the Yeoman Warder Tour. I also enjoyed the Crown Jewels Exhibition. One of the best paid tourist attractions in London if you're into history.

A meaningful trip with supportive tour guides and stadium staff who are also friendly and flexible. It was truly meaningful to be able to stand on the pitch and stay close to the official location where matches take place.

They have staffs to support in every spots in the stadium, no all good with self-guided audio tour. You will see all important and take photo as much as you can. Avoid to book the tour on match day, as the booking will be cancelled.

it was a great experience. but maybe should go for the later session at 9.30pm for more stunning views. 7.30pm is still very bright in London. but overall ok.

The wax figures are so detailed you might mistake them for staff members standing there. The British history experience train was also fun. From the outside, you wouldn't expect such a large space to showcase all these things. It was a pretty good experience.
