Just did the Austin Must See Attractions Walking Tour - WOW!

I gifted this walking tour to my parents when they visited Austin last month, and they had a blast! The guide, who was super knowledgeable about local history, took them through downtown and shared awesome stories about O. Henry and the Alamo. They especially loved the stop at the Driskill Hotel. If you're considering this for someone who loves history, I can't recommend it enough!

Considering gifting the Austin walking tour - any advice?

I'm thinking about getting this walking tour for my sister's birthday. She loves exploring cities and learning about their history! Does anyone know if the tour is physically demanding? She's not the most active person. Also, what's the best time of year to go?
