Just did the Museum Row Tour! Such a blast!

I went on the Museum Row Tour last weekend, and it was so much fun! The La Brea Tar Pits were super cool, watching the digging and seeing the mammoth remains up close. LACMA's Urban Light is a must-see; I got some great pics there. The Petersen Museum had some epic cars, especially the Batmobile! Overall, totally recommend it for anyone interested in LA's history. Can't wait to go back!

Considering this as a gift for my dad - any thoughts?

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of getting my dad a ticket for the Museum Row Tour since he loves cars and history. He’s not super mobile, so I’m a bit worried about the walking. What do you think? Is it manageable for someone who might need breaks?
