Which Tour?

I may have an opportunity to break away from our group of 8 and do a tour. We've done the Discover the Magic tour in the past which I LOVED because I'm all about scavenger hunts. Which one should I do?

Walk In Walt's Disneyland Footsteps is a great tour with or without the apartment. I highly recommend that one.

What do you "want" out of the tour? Entertainment? Back-stage access to somewhere? Little known information and stories?

Honestly, the only tour I have done is the free Carthay Circle one. BFF and I *loved* it. They said it would be 15-30 minutes, but the guy leading the tour obviously loved doing it, and it lasted over 45 minutes He pointed out a ton of the "hidden" things throughout the restaurant, like the evil queen in the wood grain, why things always come in sevens at the restaurant, where the same lighting is used elsewhere in the park (only one other place!), Oswald's story, Mortimer Mouse, the struggles that Walt and Roy went through early on, etc. And seeing some of the first-time-published photography pointed out with the stories behind them were pretty neat too. Oh, and Snow White's wishing well in the side dining room

I think it would be fun to see some behind the scenes stuff.

The Walk In Walt's Footsteps used to have a few back stage moments--like going to his apartment, and in the lobby of C33. However, I don't know that either of those ended up on the new tour again once C33 opened back up.
