“Jay, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fed us as much information as we wanted, historical and current. We did a leisurely stroll, then watched some of the Oktoberfest parade, caught the subway to the fair grounds. He explained how to get around on the subway which was good as our entire group had been making mistakes! Our table in the beer hall was in a good location and Jay knew the waitresses and we had great service. The food and drink was plenty for the tour and we could always buy more. Cash is a must. Unbelievably crowded, everyone having a good time”
