Hey there, Prost Posse! We're kicking things off in London town - where you'll meet your new crew before hitting the road to Oktoberfest. Next stop? The land of canals and clogs. Before we hop across, take one last look at the iconic White Cliffs of Dover. (Yep, that chalky glow is natural...). Oh hi, France! We've landed on French soil in the port town of Calais. It's a quick hello before we roll on to the Netherlands.
Tonight, we're diving into Dutch vibes. After an included dinner at a microbrewery, the night's yours. Fancy cruising the canals? You've got the option to do just that tonight. (D) Stay: Ibis Budget Amsterdam City South (or similar)
Today's all about beer hops and heritage. This morning, we'll meet a Local Guide for a beer tour featuring the best craft brews in town. Afterwards you're free to explore. Tonight, you have the option to head to a traditional Dutch farm for a cosy farm-to-table dinner - complete with a cheese tasting, of course! (B)
Dam, it's been real. But now it's time for Belgium. Lunch time! You're free to explore the canals, snap the charming buildings and grab lunch at a cute cafe before we drive on. Hi, Brussels! We'll kick off with an optional beer experience (history + tasters = yes please). Then, hit the streets to get oriented with this city. Dinner's on us tonight, at a century-old spot right in the heart of town. (B/D) Stay: a&o Brussel Centrum
Brussels, it's been a blast. But Cologne's calling... You've got some free time to wander this wonderful 2,000-year-old city. Hit up the Old Town, marvel at that massive cathedral, and squeeze in a schnitzel before we roll out.Frankfurt will charm you with its big-city buzz with old-town feels. Tonight, we'll stroll the streets in search of eats (and maybe a cheeky beer or two). (B) Stay: Zleep Hotel Frankfurt
It's go time. But first, we're rolling down the Romantic Road to somewhere... well, romantic. Think cobblestones, charm and fairy tale feels. Cue the colourful houses, Bavarian bites and camera roll overload - this lil' German gem is your lunch stop for today. Aaand, we're finally where the action begins. We'll kick things off with a orientation of the city. Tomorrow, we'll dive headfirst into the real reason you're here: Oktoberfest. So, rest up tonight! (B) Stay: Ibis Munich City Ost (or similar)
We've got a full day at the fest today! Options mostly involve eating traditional food like pork knuckle, drinking beer out of steins, hopping from festival tents to amusement rides and generally living our best Bavarian lives. We'll soon understand why this is one of the most famous parties in the world… (B)
Rise and shine and shake off those cobwebs this morning - just the way you like. Hop on two wheels for an optional tour of Munich's best spots & "Prost" some steins in the English Gardens, or check out the carnival rides. Time to get our party on again! (B)
Our trip ends after breakfast today. Swap contact details and start arranging your next party! (B)
