Just did the Lincoln assassination walking tour—so worth it!

I went on the Lincoln assassination history walking tour last weekend, and it was incredible! The guide was super knowledgeable and had such captivating stories about the night of the assassination. We saw Ford's Theatre and even walked past the White House. The views were amazing! If you’re in D.C., you’ve got to check this out, especially if you’re into history. I’m thinking of gifting this to my friend who's a history buff. Any tips on how to best surprise him?
