Join me for the ultimate celebration as we head to Munich for Oktoberfest 🍻 the world’s largest and most famous beer festival!

Along the way you'll bond with a small group of like minded travelers and form lasting friendships with other like minded individuals during my Kegs, Croissants and Canals Oktoberfest Tour!

This trip not only explores Munich, but two other major European bucket list cities, Paris and Amsterdam.

During our time in 🇩🇪 Munich we'll spend four nights, with ample opportunities to experience Oktoberfest, along with visits to Dachau Concentration Camp and Neuschwanstein Castle.

In Paris 🇫🇷 we'll spend time exploring some of my favorite attractions such as the Catacombs, The Louvre, Versaille, Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and more.

During our time in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 we'll walk the halls of the Anne Frank House, tour the canals by boat, visit the Rijksmuseum, tour the Red Light District and more.

Upcoming tour dates are outlined below:

📆 September 21st - October 1st, 2026

📆 Expect similar dates to be announced for late September 2027 and beyond!

This trip will be limited to 14 travelers to ensure a fun and intimate experience! We'll explore the major attractions together, but you'll still have plenty of time and space to enjoy each city at your own pace.

My name is Wes - I'm a travel junkie who has visited 30+ countries and counting.

I love travel because it's a great way to experience different cultures, visit some of the most beautiful places on Earth and take part in adventurous activities unique to the destinations I visit.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio 🇺🇸 which I still call home to this day. It serves as the perfect home base for enjoying life back home when I'm not out on the road exploring!

Growing up in Cincinnati, I was able to experience the world's SECOND largest Oktoberfest for many years before finally making my way over to Munich to experience the real thing.

On my tours you'll enjoy a high level of attention to detail and planning. I'm an experienced guide and I've already spent weeks in 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇫🇷 France and the 🇳🇱 Netherlands scouting out this itinerary to ensure it only includes the best activities in each city.

Can't wait to explore some of my favorite 🌍 European highlights with you!

Welcome to the Netherlands!

On your first day in Amsterdam we'll get settled into our accommodations and then take a walking tour of the Centrum area and Red Light District.

Try to arrive in Amsterdam by 1:00pm so that you have time to clear customs, collect your luggage and make your way into town. Our tour will be scheduled in the evening to ensure the group has ample time to arrive.

After our tour, you'll have the evening free to enjoy the nightlife here as you see fit.

If you'd like some extra time to rest and recover from your long travel day, consider booking an additional night during the checkout process!

During our first full day in Amsterdam we'll hit some of my favorite attractions.

We'll start the day by visiting the Anne Frank House. This is a really powerful and somber experience, as we'll walk through the very halls that the Frank family lived during their time spent hiding from their Nazi occupiers during the Holocaust.

After this, you'll have some free time to explore town before we reconvene in the afternoon for a canal tour of the city by boat. There's no better way to take in the city's architecture and rich history than from a boat as we cruise the canal network.

Once we finish up our boat tour, we'll make our way over to the Heineken Experience. This is a really fun opportunity to learn about the history of Heineken as we explore their interactive museum and brewery.

At the end of the tour, we'll enjoy some cold beers before everyone is free to enjoy their evening as they see fit.

On day 9 we'll make our way over to one of Europe's top museums, the Rijksmuseum.

We'll arrive as a group but everyone will be free to explore the museum at their own pace. If you're an art buff, consider popping over to the nearby Van Gogh museum when you're finished here.

In the afternoon we'll reconvene at the De Gooyer Windmill Brewery for a brief tour of their facility and brewing philosophy, before tasting some of their beer for ourselves.

On our fourth day we'll say our goodbyes to Amsterdam and head for Paris!

We'll arrive in the early afternoon, get settled into our new accommodations and then head over to Montemarte for a walking food tour.

The walking food tour completes at the foot of Sacre-Coeurs, which you're welcome to explore after our tour of Montemarte.

This is a great place to hang around for sunset and on some evenings there will be street artists performing on the steps leading up to the basilica.

Day 5 will be filled with some of Paris' top highlights!

We'll start our day heading over to the Arc de Triomphe which is surrounded by a massive roundabout (zero chance I could survive driving in that).

Our group will venture to the top and enjoy sweeping views of the city while learning about the monuments history.

Afterwards, we'll make our way over to the Catacombs, my personal favorite attraction in Paris.

We'll stroll through the remains of millions of deceased Parisians and learn about the history of this peculiar place.

After the Catacombs everyone will have time to explore Paris on their own before we reconvene for a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower in the evening!

I time our visit to the Eiffel Tower so you can hang around a bit longer and take in views of the tower lit up after sunset.

Our third day in Paris will involve heading just outside of town to the impressive palatial estate of Versaille.

We'll get an early start today so we can beat the crowds, and everyone will be free to explore the palace grounds at their own pace. The gardens are just as impressive as the interior, so be sure to save some time for exploring outside.

You'll have the afternoon free so you can take as long as you'd like at Versaille, or spend some extra time back in Paris exploring town.

We'll kick off our day by heading to the Louvre (before it gets overly crowded) to spend the morning taking in the world's most impressive collection of art and sculptures.

You'll have the full day here (if you choose) to take in as much of the museum is possible. Although I'm convinced it would take more than one full day here to take in every exhibit.

In the early evening we'll catch a train to Munich and check into our new accommodations.

On our first full day in Munich for Oktoberfest we'll hit the festival grounds early with a local to learn about the history of Bavaria's most famous event.

Once we explore the grounds, we'll head into a beer tent for our group table reservation.

You can choose to spend the entire day here, or feel free to venture off in the afternoon to start exploring Munich!

 On our second day in Munich we'll take a day trip to nearby Neuschwanstein Castle (aka the Disney Castle).

Here we'll explore some of the most impressive palaces ever built at the hands of King Ludwig II.

This will be a full day activity and we'll return in the evening. Tonight, consider heading back to Oktoberfest for dinner, or visit one of Munich's historic beer halls!

On our final day in Munich we'll head over to visit and pay our respects at the Dachau Concentration Camp.

Visiting a concentration camp isn't your typical tourist attraction. It's a somber and powerful experience. Walking through the facility we'll learn about the events of the Holocaust that took place here during World War II.

In the late afternoon we'll have a walking tour of Munich's Old Town. It's a great tour, but if you're more inclined to spend the entire day at Oktoberfest you're more than welcome to do that instead!

Today we'll say good-bye to Munich and our group as everyone prepares to catch flights home or continue their travels elsewhere.
