Oktoberfest ist wunderbar!

Our trip consisted of a group of 10 guys of varying ages (45 to 50) that were celebrating five 50th birthdays, so it was mandatory to have an epic time.

Enter Buck List Events.

The team, including Toby and Connor, set up the best 7-day itinerary for us, starting in Salzburg and finishing off with the coup de grâce: three nights of Oktoberfesting in Munich.

One of the greatest aspects of Bucket List is their ability to be nimble and quick. These guys are connected. One of our tours was a visit to Eagle's Nest; however, due to a rock avalanche (!!), all access was cut off. Had we booked this adventure ourselves, this would've been a big downer and likely a waste of a day, but thankfully we had the Bucket List team on our side. They quickly adjusted our schedule that included a fabulous day with a private driver to a salt mine tour, a visit to the Documentation Museum at the base of Eagle's Nest and a final stop at lake Konigsee. Problem solved.

Once in Munich, the nervous energy going to Oktoberfest was quickly extinguished to become one of the greatest parties I've ever attended, and this was solely based on the fact that Bucket List hooked us up with the most experienced and fun "handlers" for the event...enter Dara.

This guy is pro. Had all the tips and tricks to get us through night the first unscathed. No schnapps. Eat your chicken fast. Stand on tables. Party like there's no tomorrow.

Dude is a legend.

The three tents we went to were part of a perfectly crafted itinerary by Bucket List to get the full experience of Oktoberfest...

First night was at Paulaner: BIG party tent...the perfect kick off to living Oktoberfest...tons of standing on tables, yelling and singing at the top of our lungs with 7,500 other patrons! Again, Dara's knowledge - from tipping advice to bathroom hacks to making sure our table wasn't taken through the night - was paramount to the debauchery and all around great times. Can't thank this guy enough for the fuel he brought to our fire.

After a day's break, night two was at Poschners: small tent that focused on a seated meal followed by an amazing dance party...most of our voices were lost this night. Dara made another appearance making sure our night was a blast (which it was), and we were privileged to meet and party with Caroline, another wonderful and experienced Oktoberfest veteran.

The third and final night was at Marstall: we learned that this is considered the posh tent and it did not disappoint...champagne was mixed in with litres of beer...dinner was very tasty compared to the other tents with nice charcuterie platter and prime rib. Ryan and Natalyia, our friends for the final night, were so knowledgeable, helpful and super fun...it was the perfect end to a fantastic week!

All there's left to say is thank you to the Bucket List fam...we most certainly will be booking future adventures...and hopefully we'll be able to party with the team down the road.

Awesome staff.

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.

Booking with Bucket List is the way to experience Octoberfest

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.

Oktoberfest Experiences

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.

Octoberfest Munnich (2024)

Bucket List representatives provide ample pre-trip information to prepare us for the Octoberfest experience. Upon arrival in Germany...we were met at the Airport and escorted/driven to our hotel. Every Beer Tent and Excursion Guide arrived promptly at scheduled time, was informative and a positive factor in our overall enjoyment of the adventure. Truely a memorable and stress-free Bucket List adventure.....

Only way to attend Octoberfest

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.

Oktoberfest: Worth. Every. Dime.

Typically, my wife and I like to do our own thing while travelling: half the fun of being somewhere new is figuring it out for yourself. Consequently, this was the first time we have ever participated in a tour-group of any kind: for us it was Oktoberfest. It's definitely a little more expensive to go through a tour group than booking everything on our own, but the fabulous experience we had with Bucket List made it more than worth it. The tour guides were fantastic, informative, efficient and fun to have a beer with too. Connor and his team know what they're doing and know how to facilitate anything you need to have a good time. They were even able to accommodate extra days for our trip. If you're planning on a first-time trip to Oktoberfest in Munich and you want the absolute best white-glove experience, I cannot recommend Bucket List highly enough. If you're looking at their website with a tour package in your cart wondering if you should click "submit," do yourself a favor and pull that trigger. You will not be disappointed.

We had the BEST time in Oktoberfest…

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

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!

Great Experience for Oktoberfest

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!

We had a fabulous trip

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.

Convenience and Service

Everything was conveniently arranged, and even though we missed a few time windows, our guides were kind enough to wait on us so we wouldn’t be lost. I left my father’s hat in the cab in our rush and Toby went well above and beyond to get it back for me. Connor, Kirk, all of our guides and BLE staff were amazing and knowledgeable! I would definitely book through them again!

Great experience for Octoberfest!

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.

Fabulous stay in Paris.

The Bucket List employees were caring and professional. Travel from and to the airport was flawless. A Bucket List employee was available to answer any last minute questions at our accommodations.

The accommodations were up to a 4 star rating. The included breakfasts were yummy The hotel staff and concierge were helpful.

The overall experience of seeing the Olympics in Paris as guests of Bucket List was everything we had imagined pluse more. I would highly recommend this company to manage anyone's "bucket list" dream vacation.

Running of the Bulls 2024

Joined the Bucket List Events team for two days in Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls 2024. The entire team was great at explaining all of the cultural aspects of the event and also providing great recommendations around the city. The balconies were in great locations and extremely easy to meet up with the group beforehand. Connor, Toby and Dara were all great guides and would highly recommend BLE for the Running of the Bulls or any other events they put on!

Amazing Experience in Pamplona!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience traveling with Bucket List Events to Run with the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain! When we started researching running with the bulls, it felt very daunting to plan the best possible trip - that's where Bucket List Events worked their magic. We reached out to ask questions and determine which itinerary would work best for us (they offer several possible itineraries so you can plan a trip that's right for you), and received prompt and helpful responses. Once booked, the team sent monthly emails to give us as much information as possible about what to expect in Pamplona.

While in Pamplona, we were greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff and guides (especially Connor) that answered all our questions and put us at ease (some were from Pamplona which was super helpful!). They truly went out of their way to create an excellent and safe experience for us. And, it was awesome to meet so many new people who were there to check running with the bulls off their bucket list as well! Would recommend and use them again.

Booked Oktoberfest

booked OF, was so excited to have such a wonderful time. However, when we arrived in Munich we got the most unpleasant introduction from our tour guide, Toby. Toby is a horrible event planner. Very rude and misinformed us about specific events that we missed. Told us there was no first dinner that was on the itinerary, the next day all the other attendees asked us where we were and how come we didn’t attend. I was shocked that he lied straight to us and that we missed it. On another note, when we had other guides it was fun and they didn’t make us feel uncomfortable.

I wouldn’t recommend BLE to anyone because of how uncomfortable Toby made us feel. I hope he understands that regardless of mistakes or miscommunications on his part you must always remain professional and respectful to customers.
