Come celebrate with me at Oktoberfest in Munich, the world’s biggest and most renowned beer festival during this 10 Day Europe Tour Package.
Over the course of this epic 10-day European adventure, you’ll connect with a small group of like-minded travelers, creating lasting friendships as you explore the highlights of Europe together.
In addition to Munich, this trip also takes you to two other iconic cities—Paris and Amsterdam—making it a true European bucket-list travel experience.
About this 10 Day European Tour Package
In Munich, we’ll spend three unforgettable nights at Oktoberfest, with additional visits to the somber Dachau Concentration Camp and the fairytale-like Neuschwanstein Castle.
After our time in Munich, we’ll head west to Paris, where we’ll explore some of my favorite sights, including the eerie Catacombs, the world-renowned Louvre, the opulent Palace of Versailles, the Arc de Triomphe, and more.
Next, we’ll journey north to Amsterdam, a must-see destination for any traveler.
While there, we’ll visit the historic Anne Frank House, cruise the iconic canals by boat, explore the Rijksmuseum, wander through the Red Light District, and much more.
The tour cost includes all of the activities mentioned below, 4-star hotel accommodations, train transportation between each city and more!
Now let’s jump into the trip itinerary.
Day 1: Arrive in Munich & Oktoberfest
On the first day of our trip, we'll arrive in Munich and settle in before kicking off the adventure with our first evening at Oktoberfest!
You’ll have the option to join a guided walking tour of the charming Old Town, or you can explore at your own pace if you prefer a more relaxed start.
After soaking in the sights of Old Town, we’ll head to the heart of the festival to indulge in giant pretzels, bratwurst, and hearty Bavarian chicken, all while celebrating the spirit of Oktoberfest! Be sure to pack your dirndl or lederhosen (optional but highly encouraged).
Day 2: Visit Dachau & More Oktoberfest
On our second day in Munich, we'll visit the Dachau Concentration Camp to reflect and pay our respects.
This is not your typical tourist stop—it's a somber and deeply moving experience. As we walk through the site, we'll learn about the tragic events of the Holocaust that unfolded here during World War II.
After the visit, you'll have some free time to explore Munich at your own pace before we gather again for our second evening of celebrating Oktoberfest!
Day 3: Day Trip to Neuschwanstein & More Oktoberfest
On our third day in Munich, we'll embark on a day trip to the stunning Neuschwanstein Castle, famously known as the "Disney Castle."
There, we’ll explore the magnificent palaces built by King Ludwig II, one of the most impressive royal constructions in Europe.
This will be a full-day excursion, and we'll return in the evening. Since it's our final night in Munich, you’ll have the option to either head back to Oktoberfest for another round of festivities or venture out to explore the city on your own.
Day 4: Arrive in Paris, Visit the Arc de Triomphe
On our fourth day, we’ll bid farewell to Bavaria and travel west by train to Paris!
We’ll arrive in the afternoon, settle into our new accommodations, and then head out to visit the Arc de Triomphe just in time for sunset.
After soaking in the panoramic views from the top (be prepared for quite a few stairs), you’ll have free time to explore the Champs-Élysées and enjoy dinner at your leisure.
Day 5: The Louvre, Catacombs & Montemarte Food Tour
Day 5 will be packed with some of Paris' most iconic attractions.
We’ll start the day early at The Louvre, beating the crowds to explore one of the world’s greatest collections of art and sculpture for a couple of hours.
Afterward, we’ll meet in the afternoon for a visit to the Catacombs, one of my personal favorite spots in Paris. We’ll walk through the eerie remains of millions of Parisians and uncover the fascinating history behind this unusual site.
Once we’ve made it through the Catacombs, we’ll embark on a walking food tour with a local guide through the charming Montmartre district. The tour will feature wine, classic French dishes, and delicious pastries, finishing up near the majestic Sacré-Cœur. Here, we’ll catch the stunning sunset views of Paris during Golden Hour.
Day 6: Visit Versaille & Ascend the Eiffel Tower
On our third day in Paris, we’ll head just outside the city to visit the magnificent Palace of Versailles.
We’ll start early to avoid the crowds, and you’ll have plenty of time to explore the palace and its grounds at your own pace. The gardens are just as stunning as the palace itself, so be sure to set aside some time to wander outside.
In the afternoon, you’ll have free time to continue exploring Versailles or head back to Paris to check out other sights.
In the evening, we’ll gather near the Eiffel Tower before making our way to the top for the most breathtaking views in all of France!
Day 7: Arrive in Amsterdam, Explore the Red Light District
On Day 7, we’ll take a train to the Netherlands and arrive in one of my favorite cities in Europe, Amsterdam.
Once we’ve settled into our accommodations, we’ll set off on a walking tour of the lively Centrum area and the famous Red Light District.
After the tour, the evening will be yours to enjoy Amsterdam’s vibrant nightlife however you choose.
Day 8: The Anne Frank House, Canal Boat Tour & Heineken Brewery
On our first full day in Amsterdam, we’ll visit some of my favorite spots in the city.
We’ll start with a visit to the Anne Frank House, a deeply moving and somber experience. As we walk through the rooms where the Frank family hid from the Nazis during the Holocaust, we’ll reflect on their story and the history that unfolded here.
Afterward, you’ll have free time to explore the city at your own pace. In the afternoon, we’ll gather for a canal tour, offering a unique view of Amsterdam’s stunning architecture and rich history as we cruise along its iconic canals.
Following the boat tour, we’ll head to the Heineken Experience, where we’ll dive into the history of this world-famous beer. The interactive museum and brewery provide a fun and informative experience.
At the end of the tour, we’ll enjoy a cold beer together before you have the evening free to explore and enjoy Amsterdam as you wish.
Day 9: The Rijksmuseum & De Gooyer Windmill Brewery
On Day 9, we’ll head to one of Europe’s finest museums, the Rijksmuseum.
We’ll arrive together, but you’ll have the freedom to explore the museum at your own pace. If you’re an art enthusiast, you might want to visit the nearby Van Gogh Museum once you’re done here.
In the afternoon, we’ll gather again at the De Gooyer Windmill Brewery for a short tour of their facility and an insight into their brewing process. Afterward, we’ll sample some of their beers.

Day 10: Depart from Amsterdam
On our last day in Amsterdam, we'll say our goodbyes as the group splits off to either continue their European adventure or return home.
