Mark was excellent! We really enjoyed his knowledge of the history of the beer halls and Munich
The tour is very informative and the dinner at the end was very good. Our tour guide Elizabeth is excellent and provided a very good time. I highly recommend her for this tour.
Our guide, Aileen, was super engaging — full of fun facts about Munich’s brewing traditions, from medieval monks to modern-day Oktoberfest madness. Dinner afterward was the perfect ending: hearty Bavarian food, fresh beer straight from the source, and good company.
Our guide, Adrian, was great! Very knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor. Since this is a food tasting tour, there should be enough of every item for each person at the table to try! For example 8 people at our table, plate contained two tiny sausages!
The Beer and Bites Private tour was fantastic. Our Tour Guide Kevin, was wonderful. He made the experience even better. Fork and Walk Tours Munich was wonderful to work with, as a Travel Designer coordinating a group, they communicated with me and made the arrangements easy and I will definitely be working with them again.
Ooooh Kevin. You were an absolute gem guiding us through this evening walking tour. You were so knowledgeable and funny while we drank and laughed throughout the night. If you have the pleasure of having Kevin escorting you on this tour, consider yourself with the very best!
We had a 10/10 experience with Kevin. Munich was bustling with people but he made the tour seem intimate and easy to navigate (when I am sure it was not!). The food was delicious but more so, I learned so much. About half of our group did the tour and I think the half that did not heard the phrase "Kevin told us..." about 100 times a day after it was over. Getting a beer at the biergarten was such a lovely way to end the tour. The tour says to come hungry and they are not lying. I was not prepared for the sheer amount of food we ate! Cannot wait to do it again.
Noel was the best tour guide! He did a private Oktoberfest tour for us and helped us get a seat in a tent where we wouldn’t have been able to get in on our own. He also shared a lot of the history about the food, beer, and Bavaria. I plan to reach out to him again when we come back for the Christmas markets hopefully sometime soon!
Elisabeth was amazing. Great energy, funny, was so knowledgeable, and kept the group together and moving. She did a great job accommodating our larger group in smaller places, made the tastings interesting, and made everyone feel comfortable. IMPORTANT - you do not eat or even go inside Hofbrauhaus. We had a lovely meal at another restaurant, but the description is a little misleading from what we had originally thought when we booked it. Also, for the museum, you do not get to experience the entire thing. There were whole rooms that we did not go into and sections we simply passed by without seeing. It didn't detract from our experience, but if you care to see the entire museum, you will need to return separately or book a different tour. Overall, definitely worth it! It was a great night, definitely worth the value, and a great choice for your first night in the city to see some sights and avoid figuring out dinner.
So much fun!! Noel was such a great tour guide! I learned a lot but in a fun way. We went to. A few different places, had drinks and dinner, while learning about beer culture and Oktoberfest (and some general Bavarian history). Definitely worth it and would do again!
