Just did the Galveston Architecture Tour - What a gem!

I went on the architecture tour last weekend, and I can't recommend it enough! The guide was super knowledgeable about places like the Bishop’s Palace and Trube Castle. I especially loved going inside the League-Kempner House; it’s even more beautiful up close! It was 90 minutes well spent, and I learned so much about Galveston’s history. Perfect for anyone who loves architecture or history. Definitely consider it as a gift for someone who enjoys exploring!

Thinking of gifting the architecture tour - any thoughts?

I’m considering getting tickets for the Galveston Architecture Tour as a gift for my best friend who loves history. Has anyone done it? Are the tours flexible with dates? She’s also not super fit, so I'm wondering about the walking part. Would she be okay? Any tips would be appreciated!
