Super worth it to book a tour for the Astrological clock tower! Our guide was super informative and fun! Finding the starting location was easy and they even called to remind us of the tour. It was great that the entry to the clock tower that allowed us to access the top was also included and we were walked to the entrance to scan in our tickets after the tour portion was over.
