Both tours are guided with no spontaneous exploring inside the house. The tours are on a tight schedule and you may feel rushed. I preferred the extended tour better than the main tour. There were too many people on our main tour to keep up to and hear the guide. The extended tour had fewer people and the pace was more relaxed.

A:
Not that much extra via Groupon... I enjoyed it and would personally recommend it!
