Thinking of gifting the Cliff Walk Tour!

Hey all! I'm thinking of gifting the Newport Cliff Walk GPS audio tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love history and the Gilded Age sounds right up their alley! Just wondering if it's really worth it for two hours of audio? Anyone have an experience with it? Also, do you think they'd need to stop for breaks on the walk?

Anyone else love the Newport Cliff Walk?
