As an American experiencing Oktoberfest for the first time I am so glad I booked this tour for my husband and myself. We would’ve been so lost and likely not had as good of a time if we tried to navigate everything ourselves. This is not a cheap tour but I believe it was totally worth it! The two beers you get are giant and the meal is a good size too.”

Within 5 minutes all of us where laughing and making merry and the fun didn’t stop. I was really impressed with the food and the festive drinks on this tour.
