Thinking of gifting the Downtown Long Beach Walking Tour!

Hey everyone! I'm considering gifting this guided walking tour in Long Beach to my sister who loves history and culture. I think it sounds perfect since she’s never really explored the Pike area. Has anyone done this tour? What did you think? Is it worth it?
