DAY 1:
Munich
Munich
Let's start our day with a team scream at the Bavarian capital of Munich this morning. Get comfortable in our new digs, and use the remainder of this day to catch up on rest or start joining the festivities, depending on your level of determination to make every minute count. But first, an orientation of the city, and your chance to pick up a dirndl or lederhosen for those keen to dress like the locals. Here are some facts to get you in the know: There are 14 main tents, the biggest holding 11,000 party people, so get your checklist as you make your way through as many as you can. It's been said that each year over 7.5 million litres of beer are guzzled, 500,000 roast chickens are eaten, and approximately 50,000 pork knuckles are consumed. So help those statistics and get eating!

DAYS 2-4:
Munich
Munich
This is your chance to experience first hand the famous antics of a 200 year old beer fest. Over the next few days hop between festival tents and amusement rides & sample the many beers that make this such a loved affair. Take advantage of the additional activities up for grabs to mix things up and ensure you see the full picture of the city. You can get a fix on the ins and outs of the city with an optional bike tour of the city to get all new views (and take a break from the beer tents).
They say that the more you learn about the past, the better prepared you are for the future, and with this in mind we include a trip to Dachau concentration camp, to pay tribute to the victims of some horrific acts that took place so many years ago.
For those seeking castle vibes, you could head through the tree lined landscapes of Bavaria to Neuschwanstein Castle; the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's Castle, perched on a hill and definitely bucket-list worthy sight. Back at the festival, the fun will be in full swing, and we'll be saying an endless stream of 'prost' as we toast the good life.

Munich
Well, wasn't that the most wildly wonderful week of your life?

Great value with booked hostel rooms accompanied with free breakfast, along with provided busing to/from fair grounds and other optional excursions (Dachau concentration camp, Mike's bike tours, etc.). The members running the trip were knowledgeable and helpful with questions we had, along with providing history on excursions.

Completely disappointed with this tour.
No Value for money- expensive! Only get 6 bed hostel and short bus rides
False advertising- states 4 days. Oktoberfest does not even run on that last day so you actually only get 2.5 days
Misleading- Contiki booklet says it includes free walking tour of Munich and a day tour to Neuwachstein castle- not included on the trip
No meet and greet- I found this very difficult being a solo traveler and thought it was poor management of other solo travelers.

Fantastic trip would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing Oktoberfest - whether solo traveler (like myself) or in a group. Great social environment and very convenient. This coupled with a very helpful Contiki crew, made for an excellent experience. I will be doing this again.

Small hostel rooms, not very clean, and poor facilities. Kind of like a converted gymnasium.

The included breakfast at the hostel was needed. The hourly evening shuttles from Oktoberfest back to the accommodation was very convenient. The included trip to the concentration camp was an eye opening experience.

The hostel served its purpose, it did seem a little far away from where others that were going to Oktoberfest were staying but I reckon that had to simply to with volume of people on the Contiki. The continental breakfast could have been better but overall, the hostel was good.

Overpriced accommodation. Can just book hotel closer to the event & save the hassle. AND go somewhere with NORMAL keys. I couldn't work it out sober let alone the poor drunk ******** roaming the halls at 3am because they can't get their doors open

This was a good trip, although it was a little pricy compared to some of the other options out there, it did make doing the fest a lot easier.

The coach service to and from Oktoberfest was a life saver. No need to worry about finding your way in and out, they got you covered. The camping was better than I expected and the staff was extremely helpful with any questions that we might have had.

Decent accomodation, easy shuttles however shuttles after going to Dachau into the festival would have been handy.

The tents were a good size.
The packs that the staff got together for us with toilet paper, shower coins etc was handy.
