The Wiesn runs for barely a fortnight, the tents fill by mid-morning, and a table reservation is the difference between a good day and a long queue.

“After reading a few negative comments, I wasn’t sure what to expect – but honestly, our experience was fantastic. People need to understand this is the Oktoberfest: loud, crowded, it’s the biggest folk festival in the world! Everything was very well organized, the meeting point was easy to find, just a few steps from the main station and the Oktoberfest grounds. Our guide took great care of everyone, the table reservation went smoothly, and we truly enjoyed the atmosphere. Yes, evening spots are more expensive – not only here, but with every provider – and it was absolutely worth it for such an authentic Oktoberfest experience.”

“I had no idea of what to expect at Oktoberfest. It is a huge fair with food, rides, games, and of course beer. Irwin, our guide, explained the history of how it started and how it has continued for almost 200 years. The explanation about the beers and how to toast by looking into the eyes is very important! The chicken dinner was very good and the beer is delicious! It is an amazing experience. So much more than I expected!”

“Excellent tour, Our tour guides ( Sofia and Caro ) made the experience enjoyable and informative, Best guides we've had. Having a reserved table with drinks and food made it easy to get in the Oktoberfest Mood. There were 8 in our group and we had our own table. Would have been difficult to get us all together in open seating in the tent. I would do this again should we return in a few years.”
