What people love about Festival & Events Tours in Germany
- Beer or Bust
The Beer or Bust tour is one of the best tours I have been on my life. The Thristy Swagman staff is professional and a bunch of fun. I highly recommend this trip
- Ultimate Oktoberfest Adventure (4 nights)
Look it is not the Ritz but it doesn't pretend to be. It is a fantastic spot to meet a bunch of new people to go into Oktoberfest with. The afterparties were fun, and the site looked great, a lot of cool art. It was a bit cold but you are in the halls most of the time or dancing away so it was pretty fun. It saved me a lot of money, which I then blew in the halls...
- Ultimate Springfest Adventure (4 nights)
Springfest was amazing with stoke travel!! The hosts where super friendly and helpful. They really know how to make you feel special. I went to the festival for 3 days. Everything was so well arranged and the crew was always there to party with us. Thannks stoke travel for the amazing time!
