Planning the following trip to the beer festival for my birthday, has anyone ever been to it?
Oktoberfest 2010 Beerfest tour.
Enjoy a huge opening weekend party in Munich and then escape to the Alps. On top of all that is included in our 5 day tour you have an extra day in the beerhalls and we also take you on excursions to beautiful Tirol for our famous Austrian Beerfest Party the Alps.
This trip is based on coach travel from London Victoria Embankment at 2 pm and returns early afternoon on the 23rd.
Accommodation is camping in the fantastic Thalkirshen campsite. This is the place to be if you want to party!
The full itinerary looks like this:
Depart London 2.30pm.
Once in France we take a leisurely drive across Belgium entering Germany in the wee hours. All coaches have video and WC on board.
Day 2 Munich
Arrive by mid-morning and go to your pre-erected tent and then you've got the day free to get in the swing of things German style!
Day 3 Beerfest Opening Day
After breakfast head into the famous Oktoberfest grounds for a huge day. At noon the Munich mayor taps the first keg ... then it's time to party!! Free Shuttle coaches to and from the camp will operate throughout the day until the beerhalls close.
Day 4
Dachau and Andechs Tours and Beerhalls
After breakfast you can either head straight into the beerfest where the main Oktoberfest "Rifleman's" parade. Or you can join the sober section of the tour and visit Dachau concentration camp.
In the afternoon we change the mood completely by taking you to the beautiful Andechs beer monastery - the home of the famous boch beer. Then it's back to the beerhalls for the night's festivities. These excursions - like all our shuttles - are free.
Day 5
Escape to Austria
Need a break ? Well we get you out of Munich for the day taking you to spectacular Austria. However if you're looking for a rest be warned: the party over there usually ends up just as big!! We take you around the beautiful Tyrol region and stop at the ritzy ski resort of Kitzbuhel for lunch. Maybe head up the world-famous Hahnenkamm gondola for spectacular views of the alps.
Then for the adventurous, we stop at St Johann's summer tobogganing run, which costs only about £4 (weather permitting).
We then head to the small village of Kirchdorf where you're welcome to join our very own annual Beerfest BBQ with loads of live music, drinking and partying. Cost is just £15 or 20euros. This includes a large bbq dinner, your first drink at the bar and our great entertainment with two live bands. The party starts early evening and continues in our own marquee before doing a late evening transfer back to Munich.

Munich the day is yours ... more beer anyone ??
We depart Munich in the evening for a night drive back to the English Channel
Day 7 - 23 September 2009
