Considering gifting the Nashville audio tour - any thoughts?

I’m thinking about getting this self-guided audio tour for my parents who are visiting Nashville soon. They love music history and I think it’d be perfect to learn about Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame! I love that it’s only $0.00 too. Has anyone done this? What do you think?
