Thinking about gifting 'The Secrets of Golden Gate Park' tour!

I’m considering this audio tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves history and exploring new places. I saw it’s about 90 minutes and you can go at your own pace, which is perfect! Has anyone done this? Any tips or should I look for something else?

Has anyone experienced the Golden Gate Park audio tour?

I’m really curious about this self-guided tour. I love the idea of learning as I walk. Is it easy to follow? I can’t decide if I should do this alone or with a friend. Any thoughts?
