The Thirsty Historian - Custom Experiences in Munich & Bavaria We organize the best cultural experiences possible in Munich, Bavaria and Central Europe!

The Thirsty Historian was an idea created by two guys who have a passion for history while at the same time drinking one of their favorite brews, which they often find themselves doing. Levi is from the Midwest of the United States and with the help of his well-traveled, b**r-loving family and his German roots, he developed a taste for the most delicious b**rs available to him no matter where life takes him. After many journeys across Europe, Levi has found himself settled and loving life in Munich, Germany for the past 14 years. Quickly realizing that teaching English was not nearly as fun as explaining history and having a delicious drink while doing it, he started researching and conducting tours in 2008 and has hosted thousands of customers in the city and area related to Munich history, b**r and brewing in Bavaria with a local company and privately. He quickly developed a taste for the finest and some of the oldest b**rs available worldwide and, adding local stories and culture, is now ready to share that with you. John lives in The San Francisco Bay Area/ Silicon Valley, California and has traveled countless times to Europe in the search for the finest local and cultural experiences together with great company and good drinks. Visiting small and large Breweries alike, he has found many amazing b**rs and great people. Both of us have found that not much is better than being in a great historical location with the best company and fantastic local food and b**r. We find that the Bavarian region in south Germany has everything needed to fulfill these requirements. We started The Thirsty Historian based on our love of b**r, and there's place better to discover b**r the way it was originally intended than in Bavaria. The b**r purity laws have kept the oldest b**rs here as authentic and delicious as the day the b**rs were first tasted. Some of the b**rs we introduce you to are over 700 years old (they do make fresh batches though).

We took this great couple on a private tour to the alps during Oktoberfest in Munich. 🏔️

They were flexible with where we would take them as long as it included some great alpine views, few tourists and multiple biergarten stops along the way. Well, good thing that’s exactly what we enjoy doing ourselves!

We took them on a train about 1.5 hours from Munich to the beautiful alpine village of Mittenwald on the border of Austria. From the local train station, we grabbed cold water and b**r to enjoy while on the hike, passed through the old town and made our way about 1 hour up a mountain passing happy cows, sheep, goats and horses, to finally get to one of our favorite mountain huts/restaurants for lunch.

After lunch with b**r from the local Mittenwalder Brewery, we departed to a small, glacier-fed lake to the next biergarten to quench our thirst. We also tried their homemade barrel-aged pear schnapps that was delicious! 😁🥃

The last 30 minutes of the hike goes along a small river that turns into beautiful waterfalls back to the village.

The weather couldn’t have been better! Thank you both for trusting us with your time and for an amazing day trip outside of Munich during the busiest time of the year!

After a train ride back and great conversation, we all had a good rest and the next day took them to Oktoberfest on the 8 hour long tour of Munich with reservations in a large tent. Great times were had!

Prost! 🍻🍺😁

Did you know that you can climb the lookout tower of St. Paul’s on the north side of the Oktoberfest grounds? Once inside you go to the very front of the church and pay €4 at a small desk and then you can climb the tower.

It’s exhausting but well worth the views from above!

It is open daily during the festival.

Prost!

Love taking our groups around the festival and sharing some great local history with amazing food and drinks along the way. 😁

Justin and Robyn from Drinkable Destinations, based in Wisconsin, USA, are long-time customers that have become good friends of ours!

We met their small group for a traditional b**r hall dinner with a 30 liter barrel of b**r to tap ourselves followed by two days with tours at Oktoberfest.

We had to meet them after all the tours were done for an extra Maß of b**r before they left Munich!

Check them out for multi-day itineraries throughout Europe next year!

Prost! 🍻😁

Munich’s weather has been amazing for the first week of Oktoberfest! We’ve had a great time taking small groups on our tours and looking forward to many more coming up 😁🍻

We have a tour each weekday from 9am-4:30pm that starts with a traditional breakfast, short old city walk tour, a visit to a local brewery for a homemade Festbier and then almost 5 hours on a table together in a large tent at Oktoberfest! We have a few spaces still available.

This weekend we have a hiking trip to the bavarian alps, followed by festival tours and walking tours in Munich next week. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Prost! 🍻🍺

We had beautiful weather for a great opening day with family and friends at Oktoberfest!

We had fresh Augustiner Festbier at the new Flösserstadl tent to start the day and finished with Hacker Pschorr at Bräurosl in the evening.

We love checking out new locations and some of the smaller tents.

What is your favorite tent?

Prost! 🍻😁

19/09/2026

The weather for opening day of at the Fest is looking great! 9am the entrance opens for the festival grounds and it’s always a rush for the first ones to get the best unreserved seats in the b**r tents!

Now they all have to wait until 12pm to get their first liters of b**r!

Prost! 🍻😁
