The Express Guided Tour, which I chose to go with, is an excellent choice for someone who doesn't have the time for the full one. I felt like I got the most important bits of history and information about the place, plus after the tour, I was free to remain there however long I wanted with the official paper map of the place with all available rooms to visit shown on it, so I could just walk and speed through those room if I wanted (which I did). Of course, access to the terrace was also free to enter for me. The tour guide (Alec, like "Baldwin") was easy to find, professional, well-prepared and knowledgable, and just a proper lad. Thanks for the tour.
