Thinking about gifting the Harlem Renaissance Walking Tour!

I’m considering this tour for my mom’s birthday since she loves history and art. The fact that lunch is included is a huge plus! Just curious if anyone has done it and what the lunch options are like? Also, how’s the walking part? She's not super fit but can manage a good stroll.

Anyone done the Harlem Renaissance Walking Tour? What to expect?

I’m really interested in the cultural aspects of this tour and want to know if it's engaging. I’ve heard about the key figures like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, but do they really go into detail about their lives? Also, is it family-friendly?
