The sightseeing tour sounds more convenient, but from my limited research the Putrajaya tour usually includes Taman Botani and I'm just interested in Putrajaya.
I haven't done this in awhile (4 yrs?) but most of the "sights" (i.e. government buildings, Putra mosque, bridges, PM's house) are pretty spread out and far apart. The PM's house is particularly impressive, I thought, and should not be missed. Last time I went you could walk through the insides and everything. The house is in a fairly remote location compared to the "center" of Putrajaya (the PM's office and the Putra mosque - not to be missed either!).

I would probably take the tour if I did not have access to a car. Otherwise, a vehicle would be better - far more flexibility and traffic is almost non-existent in nobody-lives-here Putrajaya
