***Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip" (and this is not a trip where you want to be hampered down with a group as there are so many people in Munich for the Oktoberfest at this time). If you book the "shared dorm hostel" package, and if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room. There are no activities planned during this trip as it's all about Oktoberfest Friday & Saturday (and this is where you'll be able to meet countless people from around the world)! You will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for any group activities or tours, sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, as well as detailed Oktoberfest info and recommendations.
