Your Itinerary

Pamplona

We will pick you up very early in the morning and begin a 1-hour drive to Pamplona. During the journey your guide will give you an introduction of the history of the region, local traditions and what to expect throughout the day. In no time you will have arrived in Pamplona, the capital of Navarre. The remains of the turbulent history of the city can be found almost around every corner. Pamplona was founded on a large plateau by Romans in 1st century B.C, from 4th until 9th century it was under control of Visigoths and Muslims and in the Middle Ages it became the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre. Nowadays Pamplona is a University city famed for the colorful celebrations of San Fermin.

Casco Viejo

From the parking we will go directly to the located in the Historic Part street where the bull run takes place. The residents whose houses happen to stand along the route hire their private balconies for visitors during the festivity. In this way we are able to enjoy the best views of the run! The owners not only will let us into their apartment but also prepare us a breakfast! The bull run called ‘encierro’ is a spectacular event that involves hundreds of people running in front of a herd of bulls down the narrow streets of the Historic Part of Pamplona. The run ends in the bullring where the bulls would be held until the afternoon's bullfight. During this time the guide will explain the history of the bull runs and all the celebrations that are going on during the festival.

Plaza de Toros de Pamplona

After having watched the event we will leave our balcony and walk all the way (around half mile) from Corrales de Santo Domingo where the run starts to the bullring where the run finishes. During San Fermin the city looks incredible. The party doesn’t stop for a week but for many locals, morning is the most important and enjoyable time of the day. Same as they we will finish up in one of the cafes for a delicious portion of churros with hot, thick chocolate! Around 11:00 in the morning we will be ready to head back and enjoy a scenic road all the way to San Sebastian!

One of the most amazing and exciting experiences of my life!! My family ranging from seniors to teens, were picked up in a luxury van and transported to Pamplona where we were ushered into an apartment with balconies overlooking the longest street of the bull run. We were served a lovely breakfast while our amazing guide, Ernes, explained everything that was going on, so we could have the fullest experience possible. After the run, he took us on a walking tour of Pamplona, and then for churros and champagne on a lively square. During the ride back to our hotel he engaged us the entire time, with history of the Basque culture and more. He was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about Ernes and Ishnaki tours: a warm and knowledgeable individual who's enthusiasm and love of Basque everything was infectious. We could have NEVER experienced the day in Pamplona during San Fermin without this tour, which kept us safe and in all the right places at the right time. 10 out of 10!! Thank you Ernes!!

Amazing experience. Our guide Telmo was fantastic. His knowledge of the area, and communication skills were beyond our expectations. The balcony host family was fantastic and in a perfect location to view the run without worry of injury.

There is a car park almost under the bull ring. We parked there. We went on the tour with audio devices. Found it very good informative and entertaining. I am conscious some people sensitive to bull fighting but tour as you would expect did not go into gory end of things and instead concentrated on the dress the standard of the animals etc. I really enjoyed the experience. Across the road you can walk the bull run full of shops selling trinkets. All and all we had a great day and I would highly recommend it for a day out.
