It would be pretty esoteric for a high energy, short attention span class. If that description doesn’t apply, then it could work. But a drawback will be that the tour is not conducive to large groups, unless you arrange in advance so you can have more than one host and break the class into groups of about eight. Any larger and it is hard to fit into the rooms as you walk around the house and see cheat the docent is talking about or pointing to. Also, the exhibits in the other building and the exhibits on the to floor are small so a group larger than 10-12 would be in each other’s way.
