Visiting the building is an amazing experience. The Tour guide was phenomenal and extremely knowledgeable. However, not private tour is necessary. When gets inside of the building the Tour guide needs passes the button to the another Tour guide. An employee building that explains everything. I recommend to just purchase a general ticket and go.
