Munich Oktoberfest 2021 Tickets and Tour

We had a wonderful time touring the Oktoberfest fair grounds and riding the Ferris wheel (got great pictures from up there!). Then we were escorted into the Hoffbrau tent where we had our own area (wonderful to be separated from the craaaazy 20 somethings!) but we definitely had fun crazy. Dan (the man) was our guide and he made it so fun - leading us in the songs and making sure our beers were filled and chicken meals were delivered. I highly recommend this tour!!

We did this tour on Friday of closing weekend. When we check in, we were given two drink tickets, one half chicken ticket, and one ferris wheel ticket. The tour was supposed to start at 10am, but started late because people showed up to the starting point late. The tour group was huge, so they split it between three tour guides. I want to say there was around maybe 20 people in each group. The first two hours of the tour consisted of walking to the festival grounds and then walking around the festival grounds. It was interesting hearing about the history. Plus, we got some tips on attending the festival on our own. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, however, you could tell he didn’t have much energy. He had said this was day 14 of the festival for him, as in he had been to Oktoberfest every single day since opening day. When we finally made it to the Hofrau tent after 12pm, the two other groups were already seated in our reserved seating. Our reserved seating was in a corner in the tent. The two groups who got there earlier were able to sit along the aisle in which they could see what was going on in the middle of tent when people were cheering and so forth. We, on the other hand, were literally in the corner and couldn’t see much. Our reservation was until 5pm, so basically for the next 4+ hours, if we wanted to sit, it was in the corner. Needless to say, I was not impressed with the seats. The beer and half chicken in this tent were delicious. When we ordered anything from the waitress using our tickets, we were required to give a 2 Euro tip. At 5pm sharp, a security guy stands at the entrance of our corner area and pushes everyone out a side door, no ifs, ands, or buts. So if you wanted to stay in the tent after 5pm, make sure you’re not in the corner when the security guard arrives or you will have to leave. Overall, it was our first time ever at Oktoberfest, so it was cool getting an idea about the history and getting tips on how to attend the festival on your own. Would I recommend this to other people? Probably not. It was very expensive for what you get, and if you are attending the festival with a small group or as a couple you can EASILY find seats in the middle of the tents where the action is (as long as you get there earlier in the day).

I read the pros and cons of taking a "tour" of Oktoberfest and you can check your disapproval at the door! As a person who does not travel much on their own outside of the states, this tour was perfect for us! We had reservations at the Hofbrau tent, we learned the colorful history of the event, we learned about the requirements for the beer in order to be served at this festival, our guide named off a list of some delicacies we might want to try(fish on a stick was surprisingly good), and we learned a lot just by all the questions the others in the group asked. We even tried to sing(humm) German songs! I want to give a shout out specifically to our guide, Timmy. Prost! Can you do Oktoberfest without this tour? Yes. But . . . interacting with a large group of people and feeding off of their energy and curiosity while your guide fires off answers to as many questions as he can . . . that might more fun than googling it on your phone.

Timmy and Daniel led our group. We toured the fair grounds with Tim who gave us a lot of tips and information. Had lunch and the afternoon at the Hofbrau tent which was loads of fun. The ferris wheel came with the tour and worthwhile because you could get a view of the festival grounds. Thumbs up! .

Daniel provided an excellent tour of the festival grounds prior to seating us in the tent at our assigned time. A little chaotic at first but after everyone got settled in we all had a blast! If you haven’t been, be prepared for lots of noise and thousands of people! Go with this tour if you want a good overview of the event and a guaranteed seat at a reserved table.

Highly recommend this tour. You learn about Oktoberfest, get 2 beers, and a lunch. You cant ask for anything more. Thank you David for a great tour.

Our tour guide, Don, provided all the information and background we needed to fully understand and enjoy the Oktoberfest experience. There was a carnival type atmosphere on the grounds with something for everyone. In the Hofbrau tent the beer was excellent and cold, the roasted chicken was second to none, and the atmosphere was fun and friendly. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Oktoberfest.

These guys are first rate!! We took this same tour 6 years ago. We booked them again and we actually ended up with the same tour guide, Daniel. He's funny, personable, knowledgeable, and just a nice guy. He had 2 other guides with him to help split up the group and they too seemed very pleasant. If you want to experience Oktoberfest, these guys are your ticket!!

This tour was excellent. The tour guide Daniel was very nice and extremely informative. All in all the tour was fun. Also the reserved seat in the Hofbrau tent was icing on the cake. Thoroughly enjoyed and would strongly recommend.

Best tour and tour guides ever!! Daniel was so knowledgeable and provided great information. He made the Oktoberfest memorable and fun. We will recommend the tour and company to many. Thanks!!!
