Thinking about gifting the Chicago Riverwalk tour! Thoughts?

I'm thinking about getting the Chicago Riverwalk self-guided tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves exploring new places, and I've heard good things about the app! I love that it includes audio stories. My only worry is if she’ll get lost or if it’s confusing to follow. Has anyone done this before?

Just did the Riverwalk tour, and it was amazing!

I recently did the Chicago Riverwalk self-guided tour, and wow, what an experience! The app made it so easy to navigate. The stories were fascinating, especially the part about the bridge lifts! We stopped at a cute cafe for lunch and it was just perfect. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Chicago!
