Editoral Review of Thirsty Swagman
Founded in 2007, Thirsty Swagman provides pub and nightlife tours for travelers seeking the local life.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
They offer many different ways to experience countries and cultures specifically through drinking and partying. You can do this through a “Festival Tour” to Oktoberfest for example, a “Feature Tour” which might involve drinking in Iceland’s Blue Lagoon or keeping up with an Australian in Melbourne, or a “Kickass Adventure” like a round the world pub tour or beer in space concept tour.
Who Travels With Them?
People who like to drink and party. Don’t expect a lot of cultural or history tours, but you will experience a truly local lifestyle.
Where Do They Operate?
Europe, Australia, Asia, as well as a “beer in space” concept tour. You can even go on a round the world pub tour.
Why Travel With Them?
For a new type of travel experience, which focuses less on tourist attractions and more on local immersion into the pub world. After all, what better way to get to know strangers and new cultures, than through the drinking customs?

About the company
Thirsty Adventures – A New Concept in Travel
Thirsty Swagman Pty Ltd was launched on April 2nd 2007, providing a real and exciting alternative to sightseeing travel for those who enjoy a good night out.
The idea to combine international travel with pub and nightlife tours was conceived by Kenneth Hart, Chief Swagman and founder of Thirsty Swagman. It combined his twin passions, travel and a good cold beer.
Kenneth has traveled all his life – usually far off the beaten track, with a local bar or pub in his sights. He believes that visiting a pub and sharing a beer is the best way to meet the real locals – not the ones the tourism office wants you to see.
And thus a new concept in travel was born… Thirsty Adventures.
The company’s tours are purely party-based and include its signature round-the-world pub tour, as well as adventures through Europe, Australia and Asia and the Beer in Space concept tour. Our goal is to take people to the coolest and most unique watering holes on (and now off) the planet.
Since its inception, Thirsty Swagman has generated huge worldwide publicity including television appearances and radio interviews in over 30 countries, and feature articles in major newspapers and magazines such as CNN, FHM International, Ralph Magazine (Australia), USA Today (USA), and Daily Star (UK).
Headquartered in Australia with a subsidiary in Germany, the company is proud of its Australian origins and believes there’s nobody better to show the rest of the world how to have a good party.
Thirsty Swagman: What’s in the name?
There is of course an obvious connection for the first part of our company name “Thirsty” with what we do
:)
Many people ask us however, what is “Swagman”? A swagman is an Australian term describing a transient itinerant worker, who traveled by foot from farm to farm carrying his bedroll (swag). The swagman became symbolic of Australia nationalistic and egalitarian ideals and remains a romantic icon of Australian history and folklore.
A swagman was often depicted as an honorable rogue, with a sense of adventure, easy going nature, who enjoyed a good laugh.
These values captured the spirit of our company: Australian, with a true thirst for adventure.
