2026 Oktoberfest Opening Weekend Package

Amazing time at Oktoberfest. Bucket List team was great. Everything was planned out for us! Would definitely use them again!

Had a fantastic Oktoberfest. Both hotels are easy walking distance to everything. Staff were all very friendly and fun to be with. Kerk was a special treat and acted as a great host.

Our experience with Bucket List Events could not have been better! Everything from the transfer to/from the airport, hotel accommodations, excursions, getting to the Octoberfest tents and our table reservations went flawless. We had a group of 10 traveling together and everyone thought they did a fantastic job and we all had a once in a lifetime experience. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to attend Octoberfest! I hope to book another future Bucket List event in the future.

Had such an amazing week at Oktoberfest with Bucket List Events. There was never a dull moment, and all the sponsored event were so much fun. Kudos to Sarah and Nataliya for making our beer tent nights spectacular! Two big thumbs up 👍 👍 …

This review is long overdue. My husband and I have had the fortunate blessing of being able to go on so many adventures. I cannot speak highly enough about our Bucket List Events tour guides For Oktoberfest, Sarah was our lead guide who was the most delightfully kind and warm person I've had the pleasure of getting a tour from. She kept a close eye on us during the festivities to ensure our time was life changing but thwarting any bad actors who might jeopardize our time. Her partner in crime was equally fantastic and their collaboration together gave us all an amazing time. What sets this company apart from any other experience I ever had was I accidentally left my phone in Munich. Sarah was starting a new tour adventure in Berlin and actually met up with me to bring me my phone when we traveled there as part of our next destination. This company, and Sarah in particular, are the dream tour experience and I'm thankful every day that I stumbled across their website. ❤️

I had the most wonderful time at Oktoberfest in Munich with the Bucke List group. They made this one of the most memorable vacations I have ever had. It was a great way to celebrate my 75th Birthday. Our events were well planned, food wonderful and hotel very nice. It was "all" so, so great.

I was traveling solo, but felt safe and well looked after. The Bucket List is a terrific and experienced company, and I recommend them highly for those looking for a great time at a special event...such as Oktoberfest!!

Without any prior knowledge of Bucket List Events, we booked to go to Oktoberfest with them in 2022. The process was so easy and affordable, it almost seemed too good to be true. Happily, it was not. The team is super communicative and provides you tons of great information for the locale you are heading to before you go. They also make sure to set up transfers from and to the airport as well as your lodging. The hotel we stayed in was just around the corner from Oktoberfest and provided us easy access to the rest of Munich as well.

The events are all planned out for you, they give you a time to show up and where to be and then they walk you through the gates to the tents. This is THE way to experience international travel for a specific event. They do all the hard work of booking a great hotel, booking the events, and booking your transfers. Make sure to book the longest possible stay you can so that you have time to get out on your own and explore too.

I highly recommend the BLE team for any event they are running. I am definitely looking to go back with them again and again.

Possible to give more than 5 ⭐️s???!! I can’t say enough great things about our experience with the Bucket List Events team and our time at the San Fermin festival. From the initial outreach to the warm goodbyes and personal messages thanking us within days of us leaving, every detail and task was well thought out as well as thoughtful. We received plenty of detailed information leading up to our arrival, and lots of personal goodies once we checked-in. I personally found the tour to be way better than expected. The team gave us so much history and info on the city of Pamplona, the festival and the course. So glad we flew in on two wheels to make it the night before our run! Regardless of thoughts on the bull run and bull fights, the traditions of the festival are felt each day and night, and I enjoyed seeing the town come to life to celebrate. We will definitely be back with the help of Bucket List Events!

Loved the entire experience!! We will use Bucket List for any & all event focused vacations. Oktoberfest was an amazing experience & we can't wait to sign up for the Running of the Bulls!

We had a great experience at the Oktoberfest!!! Well organized and planned out events - and the guides were super fun!

We had an amazing time at Oktoberfest. Toby and staff did a great job with communication and organization. Highly recommend using Bucket List Events for all of your special occasions.

10/10 recommend using Bucketlist Events for Oktoberfest! I loved that they had multiple people to talk to in Germany to make sure we knew our agenda. Even showed up to make sure our airport shuttle worked out. Our group also loved our Oktoberfest "drinking buddies" Ciaran and Dara! Both knowledgeable about the event and definitely created and maintained a fun vibe in the tents! Bucket List Events took care of booking events we didn't know we wanted to do and gave great recommendations for things we wanted to do! Thanks so much for making our experience epic!

We had a fabulous trip. I missed my flight to Munich and Toby assured me my travel partner would be able to check into the hotel without me. Smooth sailing. I had a a ton of questions leading into and during the trip. Toby was always quick to reply and have excellent service. Our beer tent reservations were simple and a great time. Our third reich tour was great and Jules was extremely knowledgeable of German history. Overall a 5* trip. Would highly recommend and love to do this event again.

Location of the hotel, which was a short walk to both the train station and Oktoberfest. The best part was the staff, they were knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and great fun to be with! Ein Prosit!

Our trip to Oktoberfest was just perfect. Everything was well organized, and the guides we had that led us to all our events were just great. Our accommodations were excellent and the experiences we enjoyed at Oktoberfest were once in a lifetime. We strongly encourage Oktoberfest visitors to use Bucket List Events to ensure a great time.

We had the BEST time in Oktoberfest thanks to Bucket List Events. Toby was very helpful in the planning process, as my group of 8 we had a lot of questions. Once we arrived each day we were in touch with Bucket List staff in our hotel. They walked groups of us into the festival and right into the tents. Everything was as described. The staff went above and beyond to create an incredible experience. We highly recommend!

Bucket List is absolutely amazing. My daughter and I did the Munich Octoberfest tour. Every person we interacted with were extremely professional, helpful and fun. I would highly recommend them for your next travel adventure. I will be searching their website for our next event. Thank you Bucket List for making my dream trip a reality!

This is my 2nd trip with Bucket List. Toby and his team are top notch, they are super responsive and the experience at Octoberfest is 2nd to none. If you want to attend Octoberfest or any of their other events, this is the only way to travel.

We used Bucket List Events to attend Octoberfest in Munich and extended your trip to Salzburg, Austria to take the Sound of Music Tour. Their team was great! Reserved a hotel in easy walking distance and they escorted us each night from the hotel to the Octoberfest and back. Quick and efficient access into the Octoberfest Tents and ensured everyone had fun! They were very knowledgeable on Munich and provided guidance on other local sites and restaurants in walking distance. With the Salzburg trip, they selected a hotel in easy walking distance to attend our bus tour and walking tour of Salzburg.

I would highly recommend Bucket List!

The Bucket List staff were so supportive and helpful they turned our vacation into a trip of a lifetime. The Small Tent and Large Tent Octoberest events were awesome experiences and the tour guides made everything run smoothly throughout the entire evening.

We cannot say enough good things about our Oktoberfest experience with Bucket List Events. Toby was very helpful in the initial planning and questions we had leading up to our trip. Upon arrival in Munich we were greeted by wonderful and knowledgeable members of the team, guiding us through the city and ensuring we had a great time along the way. Connor, Jules, Hannah, and Natalia worked very hard to ensure we had everything we needed in our small and large tents and they truly made the experience memorable. We look forward to booking another event next year!

Toby & his team of guides did a wonderful job of keeping us informed throughout the entire experience. Guiding a crew of 30 people through over 200,000 festival attendees to seat us at our reserved tables in the Paulaner tent is no easy task, & they did a great job. They provided a fun experience & helped us translate to our waiters which was very helpful.

Wow, what an adventure!! Bucket list is a top notch company!! We had a group of 10 the Fiddy group and had 2 nights in Salzburg and 4 in Munich. Every detail was handled flawlessly, travel plans, hotels, tours , beer tents were just amazing! The tour guides and Oktoberfest handlers were the best of the best, they ensured we had a great time with everything we did!! Dara, Hannah Carolyn, the dream team all just amazing!! Kept us all going with amazing tips, tricks and information!! There were more people but had lots of beer, sorry i don’t remember everyone. Just an epic adventure and Toby and Connor kudos for running an amazing company!! We will be back for another adventure!!

Traveled to Oktoberfest 2024 with Bucket List Events and it was a fantastic experience. Truly a wonderful balance between trip infrastructure and solo time to do as we wanted. The tours they provided both in Salzburg and Munich area were interesting, informative, and fun and the guides utilized for the tours were really awesome. The guides that hosted us at the various tents at Oktoberfest were wonderful!! They were solicitous, fun, and kept everything and everyone organized. It was of great comfort to have the guidance of Connor during our travels to ensure everything went smoothly. We received great value for the cost paid. Highly recommend utilizing Bucket List Events! We definitely will in the future for another trip we are eyeing. Thank you Connor and Bucket List Events for a bucket list item being checked off our list…we will have these fond and cherished memories forever!

The whole Oktoberfest experience went way above our expectations. We chose the tour because we wanted to ensure we had reservations to the tents. The itinerary that was set for us worked out great and touched on a little bit of everything: small tent, big tent during the day, and a Saturday night big tent. Everything was just the right amount of excitement for us . The local guides were super knowledgeable and helpful, definitely made navigating the festival much easier. And each of our different guides gave us tips and tricks to make the rest of our time in Munich more enjoyable. The hotel accommodations were fantastic, an easy walk to the fairgrounds and a very nice hotel. The four days that we spent flowed so smoothly. We'll definitely be coming back to Oktobest with Bucket List Events, 11/10.

Our trip to Oktoberfest this year was such an experience! We had a group of 14 and Bucket List set up a couple of day tours for us as well so we were able to see so much more. Visiting Dachau and Newschwanstein Castle just added to the whole trip. Our guides were very knowledgeable and fun. Connor was very helpful throughout our time there and we would definitely use them again!

These guys did a great job coordinating our 2023 Oktoberfest experience! Everything ran smoothly - loved the excursions to the castle and Munich. Hosts were attentive and fun to hang out with! Looking forward to using them again for our next adventure!

We had an amazing experience on our Octoberfest tour to Munich with Bucket List! The entire process was incredibly smooth, thanks to the excellent service provided by the team. Toby efficiently managed all our accommodations and transfers, ensuring everything was hassle-free. Our time at the first tent with Sarah and Ciaran was a blast; they were not only fun but also made sure everyone safely reached the tents and back. In the larger tent, Annie was a delightful presence, ensuring we not only had a great time but also capturing memorable moments with her photography skills. The thoughtful gesture of providing Octoberfest-themed t-shirts and mugs added a special touch to our experience. Our bike tour guide was fantastic, making the excursion enjoyable. The only suggestion I would offer is to consider allowing some time for participants to refresh after the bike tour, as it ran longer than expected, creating a slight time crunch to reach the tents. Overall, a fantastic trip made memorable by the Bucket List team's professionalism and attention to detail!

I can’t recommend Bucket List enough. Not only do they make all of your arrangements for you, with plenty of excursions and adventures to choose from, and not only to they expertly guide you from experience to experience, but they all seem to be genuinely having a great time doing it. If they aren’t, they are truly some of the greatest actors on the planet. That extra warmth and sense of fun really adds a lot to the experience

I had a last minute trip to Munich during Octoberfest and a friend referred me to Toby to see If I could get me access/seats to a tent for Octoberfest last minute. Toby was awesome, he get us set-up with a tent for 2 nights with Natalia and Mike as our hosts ( who were also amazing hosts) and we have the best time ever. Thanks a Toby, Natalia, and Mike for the wonderful experience

The 4-star hotel location was perfect, just in between the festival grounds and the train station. Just the ticket to get the reserved seat was worth it but the guides pushed it over the top for a memorable experience. Both Ryan and Nataliya were extremely knowledgeable and just fun people in general. They helped navigate, explain the different etiquette and have great personalities, the exact type of people you like to share a beer with. Bucket List events made me look great to my in-laws and I couldn’t recommend them more for family or events with friends. I will be looking to use them in the future for other bucket list type of events as they have earned my trust I will get a good value from any expense from them.

Had such an amazing week at Oktoberfest with Bucket List Events. There was never a dull moment, and all the sponsored event were so much fun. Kudos to Sarah and Nataliya for making our beer tent nights spectacular! Two big thumbs up

I could not have imagined a better experience for our first time in Germany attending Oktoberfest. We had a blast! Make sure and do their bike tour to Neuschwanstein Castle! It’s breathtaking. Thank you so much for the experiences and the memories!!

We loved our Oktoberfest experience with Bucket List Events. The proximity of the hotel to the fairgrounds was awesome. Ciaran and Sarah were the perfect hosts for the large and small tent evenings and so fun to talk to. Following Ciaran’s “swan hand” through the fairgrounds to the tents was memorable and the best way to get us through the thousands of partiers. They were very attentive and made sure our service was top notch. We also enjoyed the city bike tour. The arrangements made for that by Bucket List were seamless. We highly recommend Bucket List Events!

They actually deserve a 10. Things were well-planned and ran smoothly. Staff was accessible for questions and gave us great advice. Ciaran and Dara both showed us a great time at the beer tents - partied til we dropped. Staff was always right on the spot to ensure tours and transports were timely. The tour package hit eh highlights and left time to explore on our own. Thanks to Toby and Connor for making our trip so memorable.

Where do I start? It was the most AMAZING trip we have ever been on. Bucket List Events is a class act in every way; don't hesitate to book, do it. We were lucky enough to experience Oktoberfest in Munich and then fly to Rome to watch the Ryder Cup. Both were top-notch. In advance of the trip to Oktoberfest, Toby is in contact to make sure everything goes smoothly and for a memorable trip. The itinerary provided was our Bible for the week. The time and thought put into this is impressive. Everything is outlined down to a picture of where your ride will pick you up at the airport! I can't get rid of it either; it's a token. Lucky for us, and hopefully you too, our tent nights were with our guides from Bucket List Events, starting with Dara, Greg, Jules, Mike, and Connor, to name a few. The bike tour with Fat Tire was fun and educational, simply a great day. Stop reading and book your trip of a lifetime! Until next time, Prost!

Bucket List did a great job coordinating everything. We had a wonderful time. Toby was very responsive to emails and texts, Ciaran, Greg & Kerk were all fantastic guides getting us where we needed to go and a lot of fun in the tents. Communication was spot on. Kyle was a fun bike guide around Munich, very knowledgeable and Tyker & his crew made the Neuschwanstein Castle tour a cannot be missed day!

Everything about Bucket List Events is top notch! During planning, they are very responsive. I loved being able to make monthly payments for the trip. The actual event - Oktoberfest - was my husband's bucket list item - Toby and the team did not disappoint. We were guided to the tents from out hotel where we had immediate entry - no waiting around. Once in the tents, the service was fantastic and the Bucket List crew were ever present making sure we were all having a great time. We have a few other bucket list items and if they're offered through Bucket List Events, we'll definitely use them again!

We have just returned from Munich for the 2022 Oktoberfest Bucketlist Event and let me just say... this was an absolutely incredible journey! Toby and everyone on the staff was so friendly and accommodating (our flights were delay/canceled coming and going). We got to meet some incredible folks who were a part of our group, and got to see some amazing history! Thank you for everything you guys do over there. We can't wait to do our next Bucket list event!

My friend and I used Bucket List for the Oktoberfest tour, and it was well worth it. All this and the accommodations were arranged for us, with some openings for us to venture out independently. The team gave great suggestions for what else to explore, so we could make the most of our free time. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. The team is genuinely interested in making sure everyone has a great experience. Highly recommended!

My wife and I did Oktoberfest event with Bucket List Events. They did an awesome job from picking us up airport, arranging the hotel, arranging the beer tents, making sure we get there okay, to making sure we got back to the airport. Highly recommended

I booked with Bucket Lists to go to Oktoberfest in Germany for my husband and I. It was an incredible time and I appreciated how clearly they laid everything out and how smooth it was to experience so many amazing things in a different country. I recommend working with them 100%

Everything about our Bucket List Oktoberfest was outstanding! It was our first time in Munich and everyone and everything exceeded our expectations especially the team of wonderful friendly staff who took care of all the details. Loved the hotel, the castle and the cycling tour and of course the nights in the tents!! Everything was top notch and we can’t wait to book our next adventure with Bucket List!

Bucket List Events exceeded our expectations! Communication throughout the planning process was quick and Toby was always super helpful in answering questions. The best part was the friendly and fun guides. This was a trip of a lifetime for us, and Bucket List Events made it even better than we could have ever hoped for.

My family and I (group of 8) just returned from Munich and Oktoberfest. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Much thanks must go to Nataliya, who helped arrange the whole thing for me. From our first interaction through to her execution of the event itself, her service was flawless. She is an exceptional host and organizer. In addition, her colleague on the day of the event, Angus, was a fabulous host and between he and Nataliya, every need of my family was seen to through our time with them. I'd thoroughly recommend Bucket List Events based upon my experience of working with them. Thanks again Nataliya and Angus...Prost!

Our group had an awesome time Saturday and Sunday at the 2019 Munich Oktoberfest! Nataliya went out of her way to greet us when we arrived at the train station to make sure we got to our hotel without problem. Not an easy task with 6 people plus luggage! Both Nataliya and Rich, along with all the other guides, were very attentive at our fest events. I couldn't have felt more safe! I would definitely recommend Bucket List Events to others!

Our group of six had a great 4 days In Germany. The Bucket List staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. All of the events they planned for us were done professionally and on time. Our two nights at the Oktoberfest were awesome

There was nothing bad about the Oktoberfest trip.It was AMAZING! It was so well organized, from the first dinner to the bike tour to the tents... we (all 6 f us) had so much fun and the guides were the best! We cannot wait to book our next trip with Bucket List Events! Prost!

We recently took a sister/Mom trip to Oktoberfest. The event is ginormous and we didn’t know where to begin in making our arrangements. Bucket List Events took care of everything for us. They put together the PERFECT package in arranging tent reservations, transfers and tours while in Munich. Their guides were knowledgeable and FUN! We had the trip of a lifetime! Thank you Bucket List!

We both enjoyed our Oktoberfest experience, thanks greatly to the folks at Bucket List Events. Thanks to Toby, Mike, Nataliya, and all the others who helped out. It was a great way to go - they made arrangements for our two nights at the different tents, made sure we had transport to and from the airport. The tour to the castle was awesome. We would highly recommend this company for any major events they participate in. Who knows... may be back again!

Loved experiencing Oktoberfest with Bucketlist Events. The options they offer make sure you get to fully enjoy the experience but leave room for some self-guided exploring as well. Thanks for a great trip!

I spent my 40th birthday at Oktoberfest in Munich & I have Bucket List Events to thank for taking care of it for me! If you’re looking for help in getting you squared away with different once in a lifetime events, trust me, these guys are the best! I was so impressed with how organized everything was that I look forward to using them again for other trips in the future!

The entire staff we encountered at Oktoberfest was amazing and really did make sure you had a good time. From start to finish this was honestly a dream trip. Lots of fun, great company and not one complaint. Thank you Bucket List Events, Prost!

Toby and his staff were incredible. We have everything arranged for us from airport pick-up's, great hotel where you walk outside and there was the Oktoberfest parade. The hotel location was key for us and being only 2 blocks from the festivities was great and the hotel was wonderful too. We had a lovely day touring 3 castles privately and our tour guide, Nico was amazing too. The trip was fantastic and Toby and bucket-list did a phenomenal job. Thank you for helping us create great memories.

Thank you all for such a great experience. And for my first trip overseas, I felt I picked the right group of people to guide me.

Our group of 12 people enjoyed a wonderful trip to Oktoberfest in Munich thanks to Bucket List Events! All of the arrangements were wonderful, including the Beer Tent Reservations, the hotel, the supplemental tours and even the welcome dinner on the Festival Grounds. It was the trip we had all hoped for.
Our thanks go to the entire Bucket List Events Team!!

Your hardest decision is do I go with Bucket List Events...because after that it’s all about fun! They give you the information you need and take care of all the details, Guten Tag.

We had a great experience at the Oktoberfest!!! Well organized and planned out events - and the guides were super fun!

Trip of a lifetime! Loved every second of it including the hangover ? I cant imagine traveling again without Bucketlist! Thanks for everything Toby and staff❤

OMG! I have been raving about Bucket List since I got back from my Oktoberfest trip! It was the best vacay of My Life! I will be using Bucket List again to go to Spain to Run with the bulls! The staff, the accommodations, well worth it. I believe I saved money doing my Oktoberfest trip with them.

Just got back from Oktoberfest 2018, and our 1st trip with Bucket List Events. The entire trip was a blast, the organizers were a great help and a ton of fun, and there was no shortage of things to do without feeling rushed or bored. Between the tent reservations, the bike tours, and the awesome crew, I can definitely say there's no way we could've packed in such a great time on our own.

Just one example of the amazing hospitality: Our flight arrived in Munich a little late for the welcome dinner, and we were half expecting to not be able to make it... however Fatima was waiting at our hotel to meet us and walk us to Augustiner-Keller to join up with everyone else for an incredible dinner & beer we easily could've missed out on otherwise.

I'll definitely be recommending you guys to friends & family, and would love to book more trips with you. Toby, Fatima, Nataliya, Kendra - thank you all for an awesome time and a week of great memories!

We had a 15 person trip to Oktoberfest this September and the whole trip, end to end was brilliant. All of our party was more than pleased with all aspects - BucketList Events exceeded our expectations and we are thankful for such a fun and smooth trip!!

My wife and I had a blast at Oktoberfest in Munich thanks to Bucket List Events! Kendra, Rich, and the rest of the Bucket List team were very organized, experienced, and had so many fun things planned throughout! It was so much fun getting to experience the best things germany had to offer in 3 days without all the stress and exhaustion required to research and plan something like it on my own! I especially liked how they spaced out the events so you got time to explore and do other things in addition to the events they planned! We will definitely be looking to plan another bucket list event in the near future!

I had an awesome time. Thank you all for such a great experience. And for my first trip overseas, I felt I picked the right group of people to guide me.

Greg and I loved our time in Munich with Bucket List Events. Even before the trip, we knew we would be in great hands. Toby and his team were there from check-in to check-out to answer questions, provide recommendations and ensure everyone had a great time. The tent reservations were stellar! Greg and I both stated this will be a repeat trip for us in the future. Thank you for the expert planning and wonderful hospitality.

I went to Oktoberfest with Bucket List. It was amazing. Our guide was fantastic. The group was fun and welcoming. I’m thinking about going again next year.

Loved our Oktoberfest experience with Bucket List events! Our small and large tent reservations were perfect and watching the parade from our hotel window was icing on the cake. Toby and team were excellent hosts - insuring our Oktoberfest time was a ton of fun?

Toby and his staff did a amazing job, very helpful and made it a wonderful experience for our whole group of 18. And Oktoberfest was the most fun I have had in years. I will on another Bucket List tour for sure. And Toby, Kelley and I talked about our experience with Bucket List over and over again through the rest of our trip through Europe.

Toby and the gang were great at Oktoberfest 2018. Having them their to guide us to the tents was wonderful. They made sure we had reservations, no waiting, and made for a wonderful time. Their relationship with Mike's Bikes also provided some wonderful tours.

I highly recommend Bucket List Events! Thank you for showing our group a fantastic time! Every activity was well organized and so much fun!

"The best tour organizers and company we've ever dealt with. Toby, Alex, and "ElSalvadore" were all so helpful and fun to be with. Couldn't have asked for a better bucket list event than the Oktoberfest Munich 2017! We just went to our local fest and now we are very spoiled! Nothing can come close to the "REAL THING"!!! Ein, zwei...suffa!!!!!!!!!!!"
