If you've been to Fenway many times before, the tour can be a bit of a letdown. I have had a partial season ticket package for many years but finally did the tour last year with some out of town friends.
The Sox were out of town, so I hoped for on-field access and behind-the-Monster views, and got neither, at least not on my tour. They spent too much time focused on a couple of Mickey Mouse statues in Red Sox uniforms up on the roof (seriously??), and skated right by some items of historical importance throughout the park and in the "Red Sox Archives."
Certainly worth seeing is the conclusion of the tour, which ends in the Royal Rooters Room, aka the "Red Sox Archives." They don't really describe any of it to you, but there are cases with some cool things on display, including signed baseballs from World Series-winning teams going back to the 1920s. It's an awesome display area. (I might be a bit biased as a couple of items of mine are loaned to the team and on display in there!)
