Levi and Sierra are the best tour guides you could ask for. In every new city we visited, they were prepared with activities for us to do, places to eat, and suggestions for us if we wanted to explore on our own. I would take another tour with the Thirsty Historian in a heartbeat, and I plan to very soon.
Levi was absolutely phenomenal. He knows pretty much everything there is to know about Munich, Germany, and was so fun to follow along. We were also fortunate enough to get to travel with him and his wife, and they both truly made the trip so much better. Such kind and generous people!! Best trip I have ever been on!
Such an amazing trip! Levi and Sierra made the trip so memorable while teaching us so much! Couldn’t recommend enough.
truly a life-changing experience, and Levi and Cierra (the thirsty historian) made my trip one I will never forget. They made sure that we had the best [possible experience. They worked around the clock to make it a seamless, worry-free trip. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who is traveling to Munich (or the surrounding areas). I truly do not have the words to express my gratitude and awe for the experience they created for my friends and me. I would book another trip with them in a second!!!!
Thirsty Historian is incredible! They offer in depth guides that are personalized to whatever your group wants to see. if they believe that they do not know enough about a certain place or the culture of it they will work with you to find another local tour guide to compensate. They are super professional and an absolute joy to spend a trip with. My trip was most certainly better due to them and I couldn't imagine it without them! Very friendly and wonderful people; I can't recommend enough! 10/10
If anyone is thinking about taking this journey, you have to!!! This was single-handedly one of the best experiences of my life. Not only did we get to fully embrace the different cultures. We got to learn a lot about them. Would recommend this experience to everyone!
This was the BEST tour possible!! Truly surpassed every expectation and an experience I wish everyone could have! Levi was informative and fun at every stop we took. We travelled with them for 2 weeks across Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands as a group of 27. Best experience ever, would 100000% reccomend!
Levi and Sierra are the best ever!! They made this trip unforgettable and the best experience for everyone!!
A friend connected us to John when we were heading to Oktoberfest. John turned out to be the ultimate hook up! We were able to get connected with a super fun group at a table reservation in a couple of the premier tents. Could not have gone better!
Levi is absolutely amazing!🍺🍺 Our group was initially scheduled for 2020 but COVID shut Europe down. Levi honored our initial deposit in total (unlike Lufthansa). He organized our trip to include the places we wanted to visit and added others that were fantastic. If you like German and Czech beer, the Thirsty Historian is your guide. Prosit to a fellow Badger🍺
Thank you for a great trip and time together! Glad you had a good time and that we could finally make this trip possible.
