The tour shows features of Emacs, the tutorial shows you how to use the
basic editing commands. How is one "more useful" than the other? I
agree that the tour is more useful if you're deciding whether to use
Emacs, but if you've already installed Emacs, you need to know how to
use it in order to get at those features.
