Oktoberfest was a bucket list for most of the 11 in my group. I personally have been there several times- so wasn't a new experience. Overall Organization was excellent- always there to answer my queries and work with us. Itinerary was likewise nice. The younger people there serving as guides were great as well. Stayed at Senator- couldn't beat the location to festival but loud- most didn't care- me included. Hotel was decent and typical 3 star German hotel- clean/no frills. Breakfast was good. What I personally felt compromised on was 2nd night accommodations up in the balcony- very hot temperature-wise, food wasn't great; my party simply left early. I would have wanted a more engaging atmosphere but I was likely the only one. Overall you guys did a nice job and saved me considerable headache and time planning and securing accommodations for this portion of our trip.Show more

Thank you Steven for your review, great to hear your trip planning was made easier by us. The beer tents do get very warm when it's hot outside as there is no air conditioning in any of them - we can't control that part unfortunately. Hopefully a few beers hydrated you enough to enjoy the rest of the evening. Prost!

We were there mid week Sep 24-25 at Hotel Senator with Max and team. They took really good care of us during our visit to the Oktoberfest Tents. We loved the close proximity to entrance and had a fabulous time with the entire group. The Thirsty Swagman is the best and takes real good care of your needs. (Oliverio grp)Show more

I'm a Travel Agent and I brought a group of 11 to Munich from Florida and NY. We stayed at The Hotel Senator, the 3 star hotel. It was great. First, It was about a 5 minute walk to the Oktoberfest grounds and a 1 block walk to bus that takes you to all the sightseeing spots. The Hotel rooms were just fine. The ONLY thing that we didn't care for is that there was no A/C , but it was cool out so we just opened the windows. And if pillows are important to you, bring your own. The breakfast was very good. We did enjoy the Hotel bar as well. The Thirsty Swag Employees were wonderful. They met us each day in the lobby, made sure that we had what was needed and got us to our "tent" and reserved table. I was not aware that we all got vouchers for -2- liters of Beer, and a lunch or dinner voucher . That was a very good perk as each Liter of Beer was at least 15 euros plus tip. We had our own photographer taking group photos for us. The Representatives made sure that we had everything that we needed and were having fun (I think) right along side of us. The owner , Kenneth, was there as well ensuring that all was well and we were enjoying ourselves. I am already canvassing my clients to get them to go to Munich in 2025. If you are going to Oktoberfest, I highly recommend The Thirsty Swagman!Show more
