Thinking of gifting the Moby Dick tour—any thoughts?

I'm considering getting the Moby Dick walking tour for my history buff friend. I’m kind of nervous about it being self-guided since I’ve never done that type before. Is it easy to navigate? And how's the content? Do they cover the good stuff about the whaling industry?

Anyone done the Moby Dick walking tour? What was it like?

I just finished the Moby Dick walking tour in New Bedford, and it was amazing! The mixture of history and the architecture is breathtaking. I loved that it was on my own schedule—got to stop and take pics whenever I wanted. Any tips for first timers?
