I plan to tour the state rooms in mid-September. Is it worth it to combine the garden tour with the state rooms tour? Thanks!

I enjoyed the garden tour after visiting the state rooms last fall. Leaving the palace by the terrace in back, I made an overdue restroom stop and then had some lunch in the tearoom before starting the garden tour. The guide took us around the corner to the north side of the palace, then back along the north side of the garden to the gate that lets out on Grosvenor Place. I left that way, but I could have continued around the south side back to the terrace.
As I recall the added cost for the garden tour wasn't much. It definitely added to my enjoyment of the whole experience.
