Germany Tours for Young Adults
Young travelers can dive right into German culture at Springfest, where the campsite scene creates easy connections between backpackers and festival-goers. Our guides get everyone into the spirit by teaching German drinking songs, before heading into Munich's historic beer halls and joining the locals. Active social butterflies can pedal the Berlin Wall Trail, which mixes Cold War history with chances to meet fellow cyclists exploring at their own speed. Multi-city journeys from Munich blend guided walks in medieval quarters with plenty of free time to join spontaneous gatherings at beer gardens, local festivals and cultural events. The camping sites near Munich's major festivals have become a hit with younger guests, offering unlimited drinks at base camp plus authentic Bavarian experiences, without the steep prices of downtown hotels. Our travelers often tell us how the welcoming atmosphere at these camps sparks genuine friendships while they get to know German traditions, from proper beer hall etiquette to morning Bavarian breakfasts shared with their newfound travel companions.

What people love about Germany Tours for Young Adults
- Oktoberfest Munich (3-Star Hotel Senator)
I had a blast at oktoberfest and Kenneth was a great host who got us some great seats in the tents but I do have a complaint. I was disappointed that the hot lady tour guide that emailed me saying she would be my guide never showed up but i guess kenneth is a close second because he drinks like a woman. We had to provide the dubishory which I was more than happy to provide. Also nothing to do with tour but a contest a couple years ago I said I would get a thirsty swag man tramp stamp tattoo to win a free tour and shortly after a girl copied me and and she got the free tour..guess what she never did it after piggy backing my idea.booooo!! Back to the tour the hotel location was awesome...FYI Las Vegas has a oktoberfest tent . And finally Kenneth I give beer drinking lessons so get a hold of me and I'll fit you in with the begging class. Yours truly Craig "the pint killer" dish kin! ! Go canada
