Guided tour for Family

We are visiting London in early June and I'd like to book at least one family guided tour. I was initially thinking a guided tour of the British Museum, but after reading about the crowds, I'm wondering if it's better for us to just tackle that at our own pace. Does anyone have a wonderful tour they'd recommend for adults and kids ages 10-12? Here are some thoughts I had:

3hr max tour

-One of the museums
-Nighttime tour
-Another building tour (cathedral, Tower of London, some other fascinating building)
-Something a little weird or unusual that isn't considered a typical tourist tour (e.g. something underground or behind the scenes)

Looking to avoid general city walking tours that are primarily outside, would rather have something with a tighter narrative.

Thank you for all your input!

I have done all of these tours and cannot recommend them highly enough! They all last about 70 mins. You get to see underground and behind the scenes at both working and abandoned tube stations. Just ensure you book when tickets go on sale as they go quickly!

IMO the British Museum is the perfect place for a guided tour because it is loud, crowded and massive.

In April I took the Around the World in 90 minutes tour. It was wonderful having the informative guide effortlessly take us through the museum and tell the fascinating stories of what we were seeing.
