Thinking of gifting the Financial District walking tour - any thoughts?

I’m considering the Financial District Walking Tour for my brother-in-law’s birthday. He loves history and NYC! I read it covers 9/11 Memorial and Wall Street, which I think he’d find fascinating. Has anyone done this? Would it be fun for someone who’s not a huge walker?

Just finished the Financial District walking tour - amazing experience!

Seriously, if you’re on the fence about this tour, just go for it! We saw City Hall, the Oculus, and learned so much about NYC history. The guide was super knowledgeable and made everything engaging. Plus, ending at Battery Park with views of the Statue of Liberty was just the cherry on top!
