Bavarian Beer and Food Evening Tour in Munich

Fabulous, fun evening! Stevo was the perfect guide. Informative and charming. A highlight of our trip to München. Would highly recommend this excursion!

As a solo traveler, this tour was a great way to spend an evening. I learned about the history of beer in Munich and it’s continuing importance in Bavarian culture/life. I enjoyed local food and beer with company. Our guide Matthew was great! Really made the experience come alive with interesting facts and stories.

This started out great, but it didn’t live up to our expectations. First, you don’t get to see the Octoberfest Museum, you just go downstairs and drink three tiny beers and a very salty pretzel. Nothing mentioned about the history of Octoberfest. Second, we get to HB and wait in the heat for a half glass of beer, then at around 21:00 we go to a restaurant to be served a little sharing plate of precut cheese and ham and pigs lard. People left without paying for their beers which upset the waitress and she says it happens with this group all the time. And we met way out of the way only to illegally ride on the train to get back into the city. It’s an honour system and no one paid, good job 🙄

Our tour began with a beer and an historical review of the importance of beer in the area. Great stops, stories, beer and food.

This tour was so much fun! I am so pleased we got to wander around. Hofbrau Haus was by far the most impressive. I highly recommend this tour if you have a free night!

This tour was a decent value for the money, however, I did not enjoy it for a few reasons. 1. The meetup point does not make sense, as it is a subway ride from old town (where the tour takes place + ends). It would make much more logical sense to meet somewhere in old town (or perhaps at the first establishment). 2. The tour should be advertised as bilingual (not English only). Much of the tour and conversations between the guide and participants were in German, and those of us who spoke only English were quite confused at times (of course, if it were advertised as bilingual, that would have been completely fine, as those would have been the expectations going in). I typically try to stick to English-only tours so as not to feel lost, so I would not have booked this if I had known. 3. This tour should be advertised as a beer tour only - there was very little food (or conversations around the food). 4. Nearly half of the group showed up to the tour drunk, and were very loud throughout the tour. While this was not the tour company’s fault per se, I wish the group was told to quiet down a bit more firmly. It ruined much of the experience for those of us that were there to learn. 5. The tour was scheduled to end at 9/9:30, however, our guide left us at the restaurant well before 9 without explaining how payment for our drinks should be handled - we knew we had to pay for them, but we were left there without knowledge on how we were to get our individual bills (we also weren’t sure if the food boards were included). This lack of communication at the end left many of us feeling lost. It is not a huge deal, but clearer communication would be helpful. Overall, the tour was fine. I personally would not do it again (or refer a friend to it). I would have preferred to visit the places myself and try the beers at my own pace.

It was a good tour, our guide had charisma and that made it fun. We went to visit the Oktoberfest museum but the exhibits were closed for now. We went to Hofbrauhaus but there was some issue and we weren't able to stay and had to leave. The guide apologized and got us 2 beers at the last stop. We were disappointed to skip Hofbrauhaus but the guide's humor and wit still made for a nice night

Michelle was a great tour guide! Knowledge of Munich, and beer history was entertaining. Great first night in Munich.

Stevo is the best! He deserves a raise. It was raining and we still had the time of our lives. We went to multiple different places and learned a bunch about beer

Steve was a great guide, he made the tour fun and helped everyone be as comfortable as possible. A thoroughly enjoyable evening
