Just did the Chicago Riverwalk Architecture Tour, and wow!

I took the Chicago Riverwalk Architecture Walking Tour last week, and it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable about all the buildings, especially the Art Deco ones. It was a nice stroll along the Riverwalk, and I learned so much! Perfect for a summer day; I'd recommend it to anyone, even if you're not super into architecture. Plus, it was free, which is a huge bonus!

Considering the Riverwalk Architecture Tour as a gift. Need opinions!

I’m thinking of getting this architecture tour for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves Chicago's skyline and architecture! Just wondering if it’s as good as it sounds? Also, any tips on what to wear since we’ll be walking a lot!
