Beer or Bust
- Oktoberfest Munich (3-Star Hotel Senator)
Get on it, best time I have had. Great place. Atmosphere, people and tour. It is weird to get drunk alone, but with thirty other people it is an absolute blast. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
- Stuttgart Beer Festival (4-star Hilton Hotel)
This festival is a hidden gem, and our Thirsty Swagman group was so much fun! Tash and Ashley were amazing guides we had such a great time. Thank you! Joelle
