This tour is a must when visiting Munich. You will visit old breweries and bars while learning a lot about the history of the Oktoberfest The Irish tourgide was great and mixed history with pleasure just right. I think he also had a great time with the 3 guys from Amsterdam...

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We had a wonderful mix of beer lovers, from all over the world. Dani was totally charming, informative and fun to be with. We learned quite a few gems that will stay with us as we share our stories when we go home. Definitely would recommend.

Dani was a fantastic guide and the tour was a lot of fun to boot. You'll learn plenty of Bavarian beer history, which is quite interesting, and drink a variety of traditional beer types from Munich's most established breweries. All in all 3 tasters and two full-size beers, plus pretzels and dinner at the end (do know that the beer you drink w/dinner is not included in the price). Our group was super fun and the experience is totally worthwhile and gives you a different experience and perspective vs a normal walking tour. Note that you won't tour the famous Hofbrauhaus, the tour ends in front of it and you can go in if you wish, which a few of us did.
