Oktoberfest Tour Overview

Table Reservations

With almost 400,000 people per day at the Oktoberfest, finding a seat is almost impossible. Let us reserve you a seat with a VIP entrance and table reserved just for our small group. We keep the group small enough to fit at one table so all have a great time together for at least 4 hours.

​

Food and Drinks included

The Thirsty Historian provides a full traditional breakfast, homemade Oktoberfest beer at a local brewery, Large Brotzeitteller snack platter at the Oktoberfest table, 2 Maß (liters) of beer and a specialty meal of the festival tent for each person.

Private Brewery Tour

On the Beer, Brewery and Oktoberfest Experience, we will take you to a local craft brewery very close to the Oktoberfest grounds. Here you will get a private brewery tour for 40 minutes and a fresh homemade Oktoberfest beer only found here while providing history and information about Munich's rich beer and brewing culture.

Highlights of Oktoberfest Tour

On the Oktoberfest Highlights Experience, we will give you insight into many secrets on the Oktoberfest park grounds. You receive paid access to the historic area of the Fest and enjoy a traditional breakfast. We will then walk you through the large and often confusing park to see and enjoy unique carnival rides and snacks, view the inside of many large beer tents with history and information of each location and so much more.

​At the main entrance we will stop for pictures of the famous 'Willkommen zum Oktoberfest 2018' sign. We will then have reservations for you in a large tent nearby with beer and food included.
