Thinking of gifting the Prescott History Tour, any thoughts?

I’m considering the Prescott History Tour for my dad's birthday. He loves history and has never been to Prescott. The idea of walking the streets where the Great Whiskey Row Fire happened is so intriguing! But I’m a bit worried about the length of the tour. Is it too long for someone not used to walking? And can you guys share how engaging the storytelling is?
