Bucket List Events Reviews 

If I could say one thing to convince you to book your Oktoberfest tour with Bucketlist, it would be convenience. From the moment we arrived in Munich—exhausted after an hour and 45 minutes of slogging through customs (German efficiency my arse!)—Bucketlist proved their worth. Our original airport transfer had been accidentally taken by other guests, but Toby and Connor responded immediately and arranged a replacement car within minutes. Considering a taxi or Uber from the airport can easily run over €100, this included accommodation is absolutely not something to overlook.

We stayed at Hotel Munich City Center, which ended up being a very convenient home base for the tour. The staff were helpful, the breakfast was solid, and the location made it easy to get around. That said, on my next trip I’ll likely choose Hotel Kraft, simply because it’s closer to the downtown area and has quicker access to shops and more traditional German food options. The only real downside of City Center was our bathroom setup—our shower had no curtain or partition, so the entire floor got soaked every time we used it. We found ourselves requesting extra towels more than once, but the hotel staff always provided them promptly, so while it wasn’t ideal, it never became a significant issue.

The welcome dinner at Augustiner Keller was the perfect warm-up to Oktoberfest—amazing food, hearty beer, and such a cozy, festive introduction to the culture. The Bucketlist staff and guides were genuinely wonderful: friendly, knowledgeable, fun to talk to, and incredibly well organized. Tent reservations were seamless and stress-free.

Our first tent was the smaller Poschner’s, which was a fantastic, intimate introduction to Oktoberfest tent culture. Paulaner was our second tent and our first big one—and honestly my favorite. Every tent had its own charm and vibe, even during the freak heatwave that pushed temps over 90°F inside. The included drinks and food, plus the guides who helped us navigate ordering, made everything incredibly easy. All we had to worry about was having the time of our lives.

Our final large tent was Hofbräu, and yes—it absolutely earns its reputation as the rowdy, fratty party tent. It was wild, loud, chaotic, and ridiculously fun.

We also did the day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle, and the Mike’s Bikes guides were honestly better than the audio tour. Their storytelling, humor, and knowledge brought the place to life. Truly incredible people showing off an incredible piece of history.

Overall, I would 100% book this experience again. In the tumultuous political climate back home in the U.S., it was refreshing and heartwarming to experience so many people from all over the world simply coming together to have fun without judgment, pretense, or preconceived notions. I loved everyone I met, and I cannot wait to go back.

Danke, Toby and Connor—you helped make this a trip of a lifetime.

Bucket List Events made our trip to Nashville so fun and easy. We attended the CMA’s. It was awesome. The hotel they booked for us was great as well. Definitely recommend Bucket List !!!

My sister and I had an amazing trip! The food tour was a lot of fun with fantastic food. reggie did a great tour of celebrity homes. he was a riot! ben was the best! we love him! great guy. so glad we took the plunge after a lifetime of being on our bucket list.

My husband and I had the great opportunity to participate in Oktoberfest in Munich through Bucketlist. It was an extraordinary experience and would highly recommend using Bucketlist. They handled everything from picking us up ar the airport, to reserving a really nice boutique hotel walking distance from Octoberfest grounds. They had great, knowledgeable and fun guides who made sure we were always at the right place and at the best tents. They provided us insider tips on the best food and beer to order at each tent. They definitely made it a memorable experience. I also really like they offered an activity day in between the tent visits days. We went to the Eagles nest which is a truly a unique place with lots of history and amazing view of the alps.

Perfect Down to Every Detail
Bucket List Events is the way to go for your once in a lifetime vacation experience! You can mold your experience to your preferences and then let Bucket List take it from there! We used them for our Oktoberfest 2025 vacation and added on Salzburg, Austria. We had no idea how we were going to navigate such a big event and where to start planning and Connor and Toby made it a breeze! We were able to enjoy large and small tent events and there was plenty planned to take in the city and Bavaria. What we loved the most is there was always a back up plan in place in case weather or unforeseen circumstances came up. All the guides were amazing, full of info and, loads of laughs. I highly recommend Bucket List Events for your next adventure.

The Bucket List events team is amazing. I cannot imagine booking or navigating Oktoberfest without being a part of the Bucket List experience. Overall an awesome trip to Oktoberfest for my family!

Solidly organized, clear, delivered every inch to what was promised. Friendly helpful staff, call out to Connor who guided us from the start, remained responsive and helpful up to and at the festival.

We went as a family of 6, and left so happy and still dancing and with lifelong memories of one of the highlights of our travels. Thank you!

Bucket List Events was well organized and available each day for any questions we had! The hotel, tent reservations at Oktoberfest and transportation to each excursion or transfer to another city was on time and accommodating! The drivers were friendly and all spoke English which was much appreciated. It was an adventure to remember because of Bucket List Events! I highly recommend them for all your travel needs that they may offer! Connor and Toby were awesome!

I'm a travel advisor and received a special request for a client to fulfill her husband's bucket list wish to attend the Oktoberfest. This was to be a surprise birthday present. I turned to BLE for support in making this a reality for them. Toby took care of everything including ensuring it remained a surprise. Everything from check-in, accommodations, and tours were thoroughly managed. Toby even made sure my client was assigned to one of his hoped for tents.
BLE will be a "go-to" for me for taking care of my client's special requests. They make it easy to take good care of my clients.

This was our first experience with Bucket List, and it was top notch! Easy pick up from the airport, great options for day trips and tours, but the biggest benefit to using Bucket List was the Oktoberfest experience. Ideal tent, ideal seating, phenomenal experience. We had the unique opportunity to enjoy Oktoberfest with Bucket List and then went back later in the week with a different group of friends who did not have the benefit of Bucket List, and while still so fun, it was clear that the Bucket List procured experience won!

I attended Oktoberfest 2025 to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday. Connor and the BLE staff provided a once in a lifetime experience for my family. BLE executes each detail of the planning with professionalism, which resulted in no worrying for us. Our driver from the airport was on time and nice, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and so prepared to maneuver the crowds and get us to our seats at the tent. They were always available to give tips, advice and help. We will definitely plan other trips through BLE.

We used BLE for our trip to Oktoberfest 2025 and I can’t express what an amazing experience it was from start to finish. Connor, Toby and the entire team were fantastic and everything was seamless. In addition to making navigating an event as massive as Oktoberfest so easy, this team was able to help with everything from hotel selection, transport, guided tours and restaurant recommendations, all of which were truly excellent. The communication during the planning phase and throughout the trip exceeded all of my expectations. But what makes BLE stand out even more than perfect planning, communication and execution? The people. All of the BLE staff were not just helpful and knowledgeable, they were genuinely delightful to spend time with. I can’t wait to book another event with them in the future!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Bucket List! Our Octoberfest and Salzburg trip was fabulous! From picking us up at the airport to escorting us to all beer tents and tours, our experience was top notch. Everything was extremely organized and seamless. Our hotels were wonderful and our local tour guides did a great job. I will 100% uss Bucket List Events in the future and have already recommended them to my friends! Thank you to Bucket List for a fabulous trip!,

I highly recommend Bucket List Events! They made sure every aspect of our week in Munich for Oktoberfest ran smoothly. From the airport pick-up, to the great hotel location, to the quick responsiveness to questions, great tours, etc., everything was amazing! Toby was present in our hotel lobby several hours everyday if needed. The guides were all wonderful and joined right in with our fun. I would absolutely use Bucket List Events to plan a personalized adventure again.

My wife and I had a great experience with Bucket List Events at Oktoberfest in 2025. All of the events and beer tent reservations were well organized, the guides in the tents were extremely helpful and added to our enjoyment, and we would strongly recommend using Bucket List for future travel. We also did the Salzburg extension which we enjoyed and appreciated that all of the logistics were taken care of and seamless.

We had the best time joining the Bucket List for our recent trip to Munich Germany for Oktoberfest. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. The team handled all the details- from comfortable accommodations and smooth transportation as well as reserving beer tent seating. I’d highly recommend Bucket List to anyone who wants to experience Oktoberfest the right way. I’d definitely be booking another trip with them.

We used Bucket List for our Oktoberfest experience in Munich in Sept. 2025. This was the second time we used them (previously used for the Masters). All I can say is WOW - the entire team was amazing from the handling of transportation logistics to coordinating the tent reservations(which were amazing BTW - great food and beer with 6,000 of our closest friends), the tours, and being available 24/7. Plus, they were all so personable and engaging. We so enjoyed being with Connor, Ben, Emily, Jana, Keyron and Jules over the few days. They really cared about making our experience wonderful and did they ever deliver! We will definitely use them again and we so recommend using them for a turnkey, wonderful experience. Fabulous, memorable time.

Bucket List Events ensured a great experience from reaching out to help with trip reservations, transportation to & from the airport on the day of arrival. I purchased the 4-day package and had a great experience! I had enough time to fully enjoy Oktoberfest with Bucket List Groups and on my own, going to the Neuschwanstein Castle for the day, exploring Munich, and meeting great people along the way! I look forward to going back soon and having another great experience with Bucket List Events! Connor and Toby really do help from the beginning to end to make sure your experience is a great one and as hassle free as possible. The tour guides are great people and very personable, adding to the experience, and ensuring you have a fun time while visiting. Thanks again for the experience I won’t forget, Bucket List!

We used Bucket List Events to coordinate our trip to Munich Oktoberbest this year and I can't recommend them enough. They made attending a big event seem like a walk in the park, and everything they touched was first rate. Book with them and sit back and enjoy! Specifically recommend the Neuschwanstein area bike tour they offer.

We had an AMAZING time at Oktoberfest with Bucket List Events! Our guides in the tent were SUPER friendly, fun & very knowledgeable about ALL the tent etiquette. Our days trips from both Munich and Salzburg were so well planned and enjoyable; it was a truly a dream vacation. We didn't get to the TOP of the Eagle's Nest because of the weather but Bucket List was able to pivot and offer us a different excursion instead! We highly recommend to anyone who has Oktoberfest on their "Bucket List"! Looking forward to planning the next adventure!
