Anyone done the Philadelphia Old City Historic Walking Tour?

I’m thinking about gifting this tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love history and have never been to Philly! Is it worth it? I saw it includes places like the Liberty Bell and Betsy Ross House. Any personal experiences?

Considering the Old City Historic Walking Tour as a gift!

I’m looking to get this for my friend who’s a huge fan of the Revolutionary War. The idea of a comedian/history teacher sounds fun! Does anyone know how the pacing is? I don't want it to be too fast.
