We had an amazing time at Springfest in Munich with Thirsty Swagman and their crew! The beer tents were crazy busy but they got us into the tents and our tables without any issues. Their tour guides are very professional and we made a lot of new friends on this trip. Thank you Max, Ana and Kenneth for the amazing 3 days at this festival!
