Great tour! - We had a great time! It was our family of four and a family of four that we were traveling with. Our college-age daughters really wanted to try this, so we did. Dennis was an awesome guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable about all things beer. He took us to the Viktualienmarkt first, which was fun to see. Then to a wonderful brewpub and restaurant in a 1000-year-old building under the Oktoberfest Museum. We sampled several beers, ate a smorgasbord of sausages, pork loin, burgers, sauerkraut, and potato salad, then had a glass of our favorite beer while we toured the Oktoberfest Museum. Then we were off to another brew pub where we had an awesome dessert and more beer. It was a really fun evening with a great guide. So glad that we did it!

Outstanding beer/food tour - This was an amazing tour filled with beer, good food, more beer, information and history about beer and the region, and more beer--there was a lot of beer. Our guide Iain was outstanding, the best host on a tour like this we've ever had. I would highly recommend asking for him by name. I would very much recommend taking this tour, I'll really enjoy it.

Great beer experience! - This was one of our top tour experiences in our trip to Germany! Noel was great and engaging. He shared a lot of useful information about Munich and about beer, and took the time to get to know a bit about each of us. It was nice to have a smaller group so we were able to interact. Food and beer were also great!

Prost! - Our tour guide Liam was great! We enjoyed his stories, a little bit of history and some funny jokes. We made the best of the rain and ducked into several pubs for snacks and beer. Thanks so much!

Great times for all! Highly Recommend - come HUNGRY - Overall, a very good time with a good group! This is the tour to go on if you want to enjoy a friendly guide (shoutout to Deniz!), meet fellow travelers (future meetups already planned), learn a bit about the city, and enjoy a lot of food.
At first the price tag was pretty shocking to me at ~$150/person. What that gets you:
- 1 liter starting beer.
- A snack (a small pork sandwich)
- A brief history of the Marianplatz Square and some nearby buildings.
- A massive dinner - 4-5 types of sausages, potato salad, kraut, pretzels, meatballs, etc
- 3 tasting-sized beers (1 dL each, I think) + 1 liter of your favorite of those three
- A fun tour of the beer hall discussing some of the local beer history and how beer is made.
A delicious desserts (The emperor's pancake) + .5L or 1L more of a beer of your choice.
If I had to guess, it would be 50-60 euros worth of food, if you bought it yourself, maybe 25-30 euros worth of beer, a 30-40 euro informational tour, and some priceless interactions with fellow travelers.

If you like beer and like culture, you'll like this tour! - Such a fun and informative tour! Kevin, our tour guide, did a really wonderful job explaining the history of the German beer culture as well as giving lots of insights into where things are today. The tour was fun, the beer and bites were good, and the experience is very memorable!
