Thinking of gifting the Historic Mobile tour—worth it?

I'm considering giving the Historic Mobile and Bellinggrath Gardens tour as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. They love history and nature, and this seems like a perfect blend! Has anyone done this? How long does it really take and what was the highlight for you? I want to make sure it’s not too physically demanding for them.
