What people love about Germany Tours in October
- Oktoberfest Express
Overall the best experience ever!!! One thing that will make and break my holiday mems would be the amount of people. For partying it was the best but for queues for meals and drinks etc not so great, although staff handled it well! Whilst I was primarily there for the beer halls, german culture and sightseeing, it was equally as fun just staying in the campsite due to all the many activities and entertainment that Stoke put on! Heaps of DJ's, bands and singers (the strippers were a nice, funny touch too). I was only there for two nights and it went sooo quick because I had such a good time. Super good food shout out to the chefs! tent was a tent- standard camping nothing to report home, maybe next time if I go for longer i'll get my friends to glamp or go in a Teepee they looked great! It was really easy to get to the beerhalls as the bus stop is just outside, staff also give you a slip of info to remember the directions but you dont need it! Loved Oktoberfest, recommend going with Stoke Travel 100%.
