4.Oktoberfest Tour with Tent Reservation, Food & Beer

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 117 reviews · from $210

Review of Munich’s Oktoberfest tour with reserved tent seating, two liters of beer, half chicken, transport, and expert English guides.

“The tour was amazing. Allie was our guide and she was so fun and kind and made us all feel welcome. As an American experiencing Oktoberfest for the first time I am so glad I booked this tour for my husband and myself. We would’ve been so lost and likely not had as good of a time if we tried to navigate everything ourselves. This is not a cheap tour but I believe it was totally worth it! The two beers you get are giant and the meal is a good size too.”

Review of Munich’s guided Oktoberfest tour with local guides, reserved beer-tent seating, Bavarian lunch, and 2 liters of beer.

“Our Oktoberfest experience with Wiesn Mates was fantastic!

The remaining three hours were at our reserved table in one of the tents, where we were provided with two liters of beer and a delicious meal. There were several meal options to choose from, but the grilled chicken and the spatzle were highlights! Killian and Caroline were very attentive and answered all of our questions while also providing very friendly conversation. We had a great time talking with and celebrating with the other…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 64 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $481

Review of Munich’s guided Oktoberfest day, with breakfast, city history, reserved Hofbräu tent seating, food, beer, costs, and tips.

“For first timers to Oktoberfest , the theory of taking a tour like this works well, although a bit expensive. We got a brief overview of Munich history as we gathered around the Mariensaule statue, then off to a local brew house for a delicious Munich breakfast which was unexpectedly quite good. As it was the first day of Oktoberfest, we were directed to the opening day parade…fun to watch all the wagons and bands parade by, then on to our reserved table within one of the big Oktoberfest tents. Our guide meticulously got us through the very heavy crowd into our assigned tent. Unfortunately it was a warm day…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 30 reviews · from $453

Review of Munich’s Oktoberfest evening table reservation, with beer, chicken, guide escort, tent rules, pricing, and practical tips.

“I liked the concept I think it works well as you are walked to the venue and shown to your table, for the money you pay this is a perfect concept as I have done reservations but without a guide and sometimes you are denied access to the tent which very wrong and not fair so keep this system going as it works well”
