What people love about Germany Tours in October
I just completed my first Tourradar tour with Europamundo. It was their Berlin's Best 8-day tour. Our guides were amazing. Mariano and Andre were just incredible. The two of them handled our mixed group so well speaking in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and a little German. Each day was packed full of activities that kept us very fully engaged. Our Berlin guide was great. She slowed down her speech when she was pointing something out or explaining something interesting. Very knowledgeable about the cold war era. I wish I remembered her name. Our driver, Pedro was with us except for the last day. Juan Antonio was our last driver. They both drove with care and got us to our destinations safely. Our hotels were top notch and the breakfasts were incredible. I will miss having a European breakfast. I have a ton of pictures, memories, and new friends. From the driver who picked us up on arrival, to the amazing staff in the office, they were highly responsive and very accommodating. I was on crutches which were a pain. However, our guides, driver, the other passengers and my daughter, helped me to stay safe and showed genuine concerned for me. This was a special trip for me and my daughter, and Europamundo didn't disappoint. Would I recommend them to my friends? Yes. Would I take one of their tours again? You bet. These guides made sure everyone was spoken to in their own language equally. This trip has encouraged me to learn Spanish again. Thank you very much! See you on our next adventure.

- Oktoberfest Express
I was lucky enough to spend time with Stoke during 2016 Oktoberfest. Over my 4 months in Europe, the biggest highlight of my trip was the party that Stoke provided. The people I met, the vibe that the campsite had and the friendliness of the staff made my time at Oktoberfest ridiculously enjoyable. Needless to say, the Lowenbrau tent harbours many great stories and great times from my time at Oktoberfest. Will definitely be going again!!
