- At 6:30am, get ready to join the centuries-old tradition of watching the infamous Running of the Bulls from a balcony along the route (the only way to get a view, actually). We'll escort you to the door of your balcony, where our guide waits with you until the owner opens the door at 7:00am. After the streets are cleared and cleaned, the bulls run at 8:00am and your host will invite you to watch instant replays on the TV. We normally return to the street around 8:15am.
- Breakfast in your hotel after the bull run.
- Mid-afternoon, join a walking tour of the bull run route with an expert runner. This tour teaches you what to expect during the Running of the Bulls -- making you a better runner and spectator.
- At 7:45pm, attend our package-only Founder's Dinner. Located at the Baluarte Performing Arts Center, this fantastic evening is hosted by our Founder, Mark Hellmann Regouby. We'll enjoy a Navarran-style meal, along with flamenco dancing and live music. Then, we'll join a private rooftop party with a front-row view of Pamplona’s famous San Fermin fireworks competition. The fireworks are over by 11:30pm, and we will escort you back to the hotel around then.
July 14
- This is an ideal morning to add an extra balcony viewing, or for the brave few, to run with the bulls on the final encierro of San Fermin. Similar to the previous day, our team will escort you at 6:30am.
- Breakfast in your hotel after the bull run.
- Contact us to join our optional, exclusive Lunchtime Tapas & Wine Tasting, hosted by a local food and wine expert, where you’ll sample award-winning tapas dishes paired with an excellent selection of regional wines.
- Add our optional Torero Training & Bull Ranch Tour to get out into the countryside and learn how to manage a cape and sidestep a young bull. (Or sit on the sidelines and enjoy tapas & wine as you watch your friends give it a go.)
- At 6:00pm, visit the Plaza de Toros to take your seat for the evening bullfights in our private season ticket seats in the lower deck Tendido section. These premium bullfight tickets are only available for our package clients.
- At 11:00pm, meet our guides at your Closing Ceremonies Balcony, where you’ll have a view of the festivities in Town Hall Square. Most other tour operators will place you on Plaza Castillo, 2 blocks away from the main celebration. Enjoy small bites and wine while watching 3 hours of celebration unfold below from the safety of your balcony. Around 1:00am, it will be safe to return to the streets and join the fiesta below.
July 15
- Breakfast in your hotel.
- Though hotel checkout is at 12:00pm, you can depart with leisure and leave time for any goodbyes to fellow guests you've befriended along the way.
