Note: This event has already passed.

Its been almost 3 years since the last Oktoberfest happened on The Wiesn in Munich, but 2022 will be the year that the 187th Munich Oktoberfest makes its long awaited comeback.  This trip makes Oktoberfest easy for everyone.  Your Friday ride to Garmisch puts you in position for your Saturday shuttle to and from the festival grounds where you can enjoy the world famous festival, but before Saturdays festivities,, you will be able to enjoy Friday afternoon and evening in Garmisch.  A full nights rest after the fest allows you a relaxed and enjoyable ride home on Sunday.  Instead of an overnight bus packed with party people you will be able to relax and enjoy the ride after a refreshing nights sleep in Garmisch.

Oktoberfest is a world famous event and these trips will fill up fast. Don’t miss the 187th Oktoberfest, reserve your space today!
