We had an amazing time with Thirsty Swagman! They took wonderful care of us on our trip and were available to answer questions and help with travel issues. Throughout the Oktoberfest events, they were checking in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, and they were fun people to party with too!
I had a personal request for some assistance in Munich after the trip was over, and I reached out to Kenneth. He and Ana (especially Ana!) went above and beyond to help me. This is a wonderful group of genuinely great people!

Thank you so much Lori for your epic feedback - especially about Ana. She is amazing and it is great to hear Ana went out of her way (again) for a Thirsty Legend. I am so glad you had such a great time with us at the Munich Oktoberfest. Stay thirsty,...

This was a bucket list trip for my husband and it did not disappoint. Everything was set up for us and we had so much fun. Ken and his crew were friendly and welcoming.

Thank you to Kenneth and the entire crew at Thirsty Swagman. Back in 2022, my siblings and I decided a family trip to Germany (our fathers family is of German heritage) and stumbled upon Thirsty Swagman Tours for Oktoberfest. From our initial inquiry, juggling multiple bookings, a few changes, and endless questions, Kenneth and his team were amazing. Everything, I mean everything, went off without a hitch. We opted for the Le Meridien hotel, mid-week package. The hotel was great; comfortable rooms, fantastic breakfast, and very close to the festival grounds. The beer tents were so much fun; great music, fabulous atmosphere, delicious food. Having everything arranged for us made it soooo much more enjoyable. As my family's travel planber and my background in travel/meeting planning, I understand just how much goes into an event such as this. And we are so grateful for everything Kenneth and the Thirsty Swagman Tours did to endure a memorable experience was had by all. Until next time, Prost!

This was the trip of a lifetime and Thirsty Swagman took all of the guesswork out of the experience! We customized our trip to add on a few extra days in the beginning at the Munich hotel. We also customize to add a couple of nights at Stuttgart. All this was handled very professionally and very easily. They provided excellent information and recommendations and made this trip one of the best experiences we have ever had! Shout out to Kenneth and Ashley for making sure we enjoyed everything! Be sure to read Ashley’s blogs if you have never been there before.

THE BEST! Worth your time and money. Book it- we have attended twice with Kenneth and his crew and it's a 10 star review. No boring sightseeing is right!
Enjoy the Octoberfest with professional tour guides that are down to Earth, easy to talk with, and answer all your questions about the most popular festival in the . We stayed at Le Meriden and couldn't book any other stay. .we loved it that much. 5 star accommodations, and sooo close to the festivities. Besides the fact your passing everyone up waiting to get into the tents, your given food vouchers and drink vouchers for your booking. It includes a fun goodie swag bag, and an awesome token ( book the trip so you see what it is!) To take home! If you don't want to worry about getting into a tent, finding a table...this is the way to go. We will back for sure in 2026!
Thanks Kenneth and your crew for making it ridiculously easy to cheer and prost !!!

What a wonderful experience! Kenneth and his staff were amazing to work with, both in preparing for the trip and after we arrived there. With their help and expertise, the event was everything we had hoped for and then some. Le Meridien was a beautiful hotel. We enjoyed the courtyard, the lounge, the dining room and the nicely appointed rooms. Ken's advice for walking to the Sunday parade and getting back on time was spot on. Leading us to the Oktoberfest grounds and to our reserved seating was probably the primary reason for using this company, but as it turned out, it was just icing on the cake.
I will let our local travel agency know that they can wholeheartedly recommend Thirsty Swagman to future clients. (I had asked them if they thought this company was legit.) Thank you again for a great time. Prost!

The tour was fine but that’s all. It wasn’t anything we couldn’t have done on our own (with the exception of making the hotel reservations which are already sold out a year in advance). We were asked to leave at 1915 due to our son’s age (9) after multiple emails to the tour organizer regarding the presence of kids with us. When I asked him abt that he said “it’s been a long time since we had kids that young.” I’d have thought for the $$ we paid he’d have looked into this beforehand. He basically said “oh well” and took our money. The first day of “reservations” the beer hall was almost empty and we could have sat anywhere. Instead the tour was in the balcony overlooking an empty beer hall (wow). Again, nothing very impressive about this tour.

Hi Ali,
Firstly you didn't even book any package at this hotel, we do not book families with kid there. The children were asked to leave at 8pm, which is a policy of all Oktoberfest beer tents - this was emailed to you prior to booking and it is not...

My husband and I decided to stop in Munich for Oktoberfest before traveling elsewhere in Europe for a couple weeks. I'm so glad we booked Thirsty Swagman to help us out with this! This is truly the only way to do Oktoberfest if you are a first timer like we were. We had so much fun at the reserved tables they had for us, and made many friends within the group. The hotel was also perfect, and they have the most incredible included breakfast. If we go to Oktoberfest again, we will definitely book it through Thirsty Swagman!
