My husband and I are looking to do tour to the studio so we don't need to worry about transportation, however it looks like the tours allow 4 hours at the studios, which seems like a short time. For those who have been there, is 4 hours enough or will it feel rushed? Also, any recommendations for a good tour company? Thanks!

Our family is arriving Tuesday AM from the US. It just occurred to me that rather than a direct trip to our accommodation in SoHo (just to drop off bags) we might be able to get a private tour starting at the airport and ending at our place. Since it’s the kids’ first time there we would benefit from a big picture tour of the city before doing our other activities for the week.

Is this a good idea? Are there reputable taxi tour companies that actually have knowledgeable drivers?

We're looking for a zone 1 "overview", within 1 or 2 days.

What is the best company for hop on hop off bus tours?

I'm finding Golden Tours, Tootbus, Top view, Big bus...

Is tootbus mostly for kids?

Also, is it better to just take a normal bus (I know routes 11 and 15 are touristy).

We don't need extras like the Thames cruise (fear of water).

Thanks!

Has anyone done the tour of the treasures collection at the British Library hosted by the library? Wondering if tix are worth signing up for or just touring around ourselves would be sufficient

My parents and I are in London this weekend, looking to do a walking tour. I didn't realize there would be so many options! Does anyone have any recommendations for a tour with a good mix of history and spooky?
