I am a huge history buff and this tour checked all of the boxes. For me, seeing where the Beer Hall Putsch was and to stand exactly where Hitler stood was amazing and eerie. The Hofbrauhaus is obviously a historical landmark and, again, the history behind knowing this where the party met and speeches were given, was truly eye opening for me. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and I even tried to stump him on somethings, but he knew the answers. Overall a must if you are visiting Munich, not only for it's historical value, but the food and environment.
