Professional tour guides

All of our Oktoberfest tours are led by experienced and knowledgeable Oktoberfest tour guides. Our tour guides won’t leave you out in the cold and will stay with the group for the duration of your Oktoberfest tour experience. They are equipped to assist you should you have any specific requirements.

Need them to walk you to a bank? Show you some of the festival rides? They’ll say prost to that! They’re always on hand to answer any of your questions, help you navigate the Wiesn, decide on food and drinks, and advise on what else you can do while in Munich (and so much more).

You will have a chance to meet them online before our Oktoberfest tours, and then in person at each of the pre-tour meet-and-greets.

Your Oktoberfest Tour – Day 1

On the first day of our Oktoberfest tours you will attend a meet-and-greet with your fellow tour-takers all eager to tick Oktoberfest off their bucket lists. On this first day all Meet-and-Greets will take place in your hotel lobby.

You will meet the Thirsty Swagman Oktoberfest tour crew and the other beer connoisseurs you’ll spend this amazing experience with. Plus, all the information you need about Oktoberfest as well as our full tour schedule, contact information, VIP wristbands, and the Thirsty Swagman welcome pack.

After this meeting, the day is yours to do as you please. For some, that means wasting no time and heading in to the festival grounds to explore some of the rides, eat some of the food, and get a jump on some of the amazing beer tents.

For others that may mean doing some sightseeing, heading to the stores to gather up snacks and supplies, or simply catching up on jetlag to prepare for many fun days ahead.

Your Oktoberfest Tour – Day 2

The second day of our Oktoberfest tours will begin at 10:00 AM at the Hofbräu tent if you have booked a mid-week package. (But if you can’t make it for reasons we totally understand, there will be a second meeting time at 2:00 PM. You’re welcome.) If you have booked a weekend package, we include beer tent reservations on this day also and times will vary – the tent and reservation time will be confirmed around April each year.

The Hofbräu tent is the biggest (capacity: 10,000!) and most popular beer tent at Oktoberfest so we need to get in early to secure tables. You’re welcome to stay with us in this tent as long as you wish or check out some others later on. (Some people open and close the Hofbräu tent and there is no shame in this.)

Your Oktoberfest Tour – Day 3

You have beer tent reservations! But we can’t tell you which tent they’re for just yet. Rest assured though, it’s always one of the major beer tents bringing you the biggest and best party. You’ll find out which tent you’ll be partying in on day 3 of our Oktoberfest tours about two months prior to the tour.

These exclusive beer tent reservations have allocated tables and include food and beer vouchers.

Check-out from hotel (Day 4)

Time to check out of the hotel. You’ve raised beers at the greatest festival on earth – PROST!

Your Oktoberfest tour has ended but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. From here, many of our tour-takers either remain in town to explore more of the amazing things to see and do in Munich, head out to discover more of Europe, or continue with us on our 10-day Beer or Bust tour.

The choice is up to you but we’ll do our best to advise you on your next thirsty steps.
