Bucket List Events Reviews 

The hotel and transportation to DC sites and the Army-Navy game were excellent. Information before and during the tour was very helpful and explained everything that we needed to know. Our guide was knowledgable, friendly, outgoing and concerned about each one of us. He even moved around the stadium (persons were at different locations in the stadium) to confirm that all were doing well. I would use this outfit in the future.

Thank you to Connor for overseeing an excellent weekend in Washington DC attending the Army-Navy football game! Connor was an excellent host who provided additional facts and details about the city, the game and other BLE experiences. The accommodations and travel were excellent and we were lucky enough to receive upgraded seating just prior to the game. We will definitely look to BLE for future travel experiences.

My family had an amazing experience with the Macy's Parade in NYC! Everything was well organized, the folks running it were very thoughtful and patient, the seats for our ordered shows were excellent :D! Wonderful experience

The most important part of any trip like this is the quality and timeliness of the communication from the travel planner. We started researching our plan months in advance. The bucket list team quickly and clearly answered all of our questions. They communicated wih us regularly throughout the process. Their communications were personalized, timely, complete and answered many question before answered them.

The arrrangements and venues were top quality and given the cost of our trip --exceeded our expectations. We have paid more and gotten less from other organizations.

We will travel with them again.

My friend and I did the 2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I used Bucket List Events for the first time after finding them online while researching the trip. The entire process from invoicing, to individual selections for our play, and the onsite support was superior. The communications leading up to the event were very clear and I knew what to expect and where I needed to be at what time. Ben and the team were very professional, friendly and highly organized. Everything ran on time and smoothly. While there were a LOT of people in our tour group, it felt like an intimate group with the level of service and support. They made sure everyone got where they needed to go, and didn't sacrifice timing if others were running late (I believe some of their staff would stay behind and helped the tardy people get there without making the rest of us wait).

For parade day, they walked our group to the restaurant which was entirely reserved for the BucketList group throughout the parade. The venue (Jams) had excellent food and service. We met fantastic new people at our table and had easy access to the the sidewalk to watch the parade throughout the morning. It was nice to be able to go inside whenever we wanted to grab a hot drink, more food or use the restroom. The BucketList team walked around the entire time, chatted with everyone, made sure they were satisfied, etc.

Later in the day the BLE team walked us over to the Rockette's show to make sure we got there ok (even though it was literally down the street - we could see the sign from our hotel). It was a nice touch. We were 8th row and we looked around and saw so many of our new friends we met earlier in the day at the restaurant. Great seats!

The BLE team selected excellent seats for us for our selected play as well which was AMAZING. The team also gave us great suggestions for restaurants and other things to see in the city that weekend.

I've traveled a lot in my life both professionally and personally and have used group tour travel companies before but most of my trips I have organized myself. Not only was Bucket List Events the best I've used, but it was so nice to not have to research or plan anything - they did it all. I just followed the agenda and had the most stress free trip.

We attend the Macy’s Parade with Bucket List Events and it was incredible! The experience could not have been any better. The weather was rainy but the location they had us at was covered. We walked down, had breakfast, we the parade rounded the corner we went out and had an amazing view then afterward we went back in, had coffee and desert and waited for the crowds to dissipate. The seats they got us for musicals and the Rockettes were stellar and our hotel was one of the best in the city with an amazing location. This trip truly did fill a bucket list item for us and this company is the only way to go! We would go again in a heartbeat. We plan on seeing what other trips bucket list arranges! Thank you so much!

The Macys Day Parade Bucket List Tour was extraordinary. The entire experience was first class. The hotel was magical and perfectly located. The cocktail meet and greet was lovely. The star, of course, was the parade at the beautiful restaurant, followed by fabulous tickets to Radio City! The following day we had superior tickets to MJ on Broadway. The team that runs Bucket List are spectacular. Truly a trip of my dreams.

Unique experience that was a bucket list item especially for my husband who is an Army Vietnam Vet. Well guided and organized by Connor. The patriotism and reverence by the people who choose to experience is comforting. The outcome of the game was really secondary to the commradery exhibited. Loved it!

From first contact to leaving NYC after all the events, everything with Bucket List Events was absolutely top shelf! The hotel was right in the heart of Times Square and within walking distance to all of the attractions! Staff was extremely personable and knew how to get things done. Their organizational skills were incredible. The parade brunch was amazing as was the parade viewing. Could not believe the seats we got for the Rockettes and Wicked on Broadway. A+++ experience!

I attended the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in NYC this year (2024) It truly was a Bucket list for me. Before going to NYC, I was mailed a itinerary which was specific to meet and greet, getting tickets to the events and even a Macy's day parade ornament. Once there, my bucket list started by admiring Times Square from my hotel room to having a great view of the Macy's day parade that included brunch and Mimosas. It was rainy the day of the parade; therefore, I was grateful to be inside. The seats to the Rockettes and the Broadway show were unbelievable. I was in the perfect spot, 10-12 rows back and seated in the middle of the event. Not too far back that I couldn't see nor to close to be looking up, just perfect. During my time, I managed to squeeze in the Memorial, the empire state building, Rockefeller, Bryant park and Central park. I could go on for days on how unbelievable my entire experience was. But for now, just know you will not be disappointed when attending any Bucket List events.
What a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Straight from Florida but I think I'm made for NYC!

Travel with Bucket List to New York Macys Thanksgiving Parade had a great time! Everyone was so nice and everything was so well organized. In the package was tickets to see the Rockets and Wicked, both had awesome seats. Would definitely use Bucket List for another adventure! Thank you so much

Traveled to Oktoberfest 2024 with Bucket List Events and it was a fantastic experience. Truly a wonderful balance between trip infrastructure and solo time to do as we wanted. The tours they provided both in Salzburg and Munich area were interesting, informative, and fun and the guides utilized for the tours were really awesome. The guides that hosted us at the various tents at Oktoberfest were wonderful!! They were solicitous, fun, and kept everything and everyone organized. It was of great comfort to have the guidance of Connor during our travels to ensure everything went smoothly. We received great value for the cost paid. Highly recommend utilizing Bucket List Events! We definitely will in the future for another trip we are eyeing. Thank you Connor and Bucket List Events for a bucket list item being checked off our list…we will have these fond and cherished memories forever!

Our trip to Oktoberfest this year was such an experience! We had a group of 14 and Bucket List set up a couple of day tours for us as well so we were able to see so much more. Visiting Dacau and Newschwanstein Castle just added to the whole trip. Our guides were very knowledgeable and fun. Connor was very helpful throughout our time there and we would definitely use them again!

The whole Oktoberfest experience went way above our expectations. We chose the tour because we wanted to ensure we had reservations to the tents. The itinerary that was set for us worked out great and touched on a little bit of everything: small tent, big tent during the day, and a Saturday night big tent. Everything was just the right amount of excitement for us . The local guides were super knowledgeable and helpful, definitely made navigating the festival much easier. And each of our different guides gave us tips and tricks to make the rest of our time in Munich more enjoyable. The hotel accommodations were fantastic, an easy walk to the fairgrounds and a very nice hotel. The four days that we spent flowed so smoothly. We'll definitely be coming back to Oktobest with Bucket List Events, 11/10.

Location of the hotel, which was a short walk to both the train station and Oktoberfest. The best part was the staff, they were knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and great fun to be with! Ein Prosit!

We used Bucket List Events to attend Octoberfest in Munich and extended your trip to Salzburg, Austria to take the Sound of Music Tour.
Their team was great! Reserved a hotel in easy walking distance and they escorted us each night from the hotel to the Octoberfest and back. Quick and efficient access into the Octoberfest Tents and ensured everyone had fun! They were very knowledgeable on Munich and provided guidance on other local sites and restaurants in walking distance.
With the Salzburg trip, they selected a hotel in easy walking distance to attend our bus tour and walking tour of Salzburg.
I would highly recommend Bucket List!

Wow, what an adventure!! Bucket list is a top notch company!! We had a group of 10 the Fiddy group and had 2 nights in Salzburg and 4 in Munich. Every detail was handled flawlessly, travel plans, hotels, tours , beer tents were just amazing! The tour guides and Oktoberfest handlers were the best of the best, they ensured we had a great time with everything we did!! Dara, Hannah Carolyn, the dream team all just amazing!! Kept us all going with amazing tips, tricks and information!! There were more people but had lots of beer, sorry i don’t remember everyone. Just an epic adventure and Toby and Connor kudos for running an amazing company!! We will be back for another adventure!!

We had such a great experience with Bucket List and their team in Munich! Everything was perfect and all the events, tents, and excursions were awesome!

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.

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.
