Considering the NYC walking tour as a gift for my parents!

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about getting this NYC private walking tour by Mike for my parents. They love history and food, and Mike’s tour seems like a great fit. I’ve heard he really knows his stuff about the Upper West Side and Chinatown, which they’d enjoy. Is it worth it? Any tips?
