What's the minimum age to join Oktoberfest tents?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age is 16+ for entry into Oktoberfest beer tents. Some late-evening venues or areas may be 18+. A valid photo ID is required.

How do payments and deposits work?

Accepted Answer

A $500 deposit reserves your spot. Optional payment plans are available—choose to pay in installments or pay in full later.

How strict are meeting times for tours and tent entries?

Accepted Answer

Meeting times are not a suggestion. We'll wait a few minutes, but tents and tours run on tight schedules and we must enter as a group.

How do we stay in touch during the trip?

Accepted Answer

Please download WhatsApp before departure so we can message as a group and share updates quickly.

Do I need to wear Lederhosen or a Dirndl?

What's typically included vs. free time?

Accepted Answer

Most itineraries include hosted activities, tent reservations, and select meals—plus plenty of free time to explore Munich.

Question 9

Is Oktoberfest suitable for non-beer drinkers or special diets?

Question 10

How crowded is it—and what about accessibility?

Oktoberfest is lively and busy! Expect walking, standing, and crowds. Comfortable shoes are a must. Let us know about mobility needs early.
