Great knowledge of Pamplona, the runs, local hot spots! Super fun, you g group with much experience running and managing tours - the apartment locations for San Fermin are EPIC.

Brandy Sylvan, Pamplona Client

So happy with our experience with Bucket List Events. We originally planned a trip to Pamplona for 2021, but the festival was cancelled. BLE moved our reservation over to 2022 seamlessly. We were able to customize the package to suit our plans. The hotel was so nice and in a perfect location. The balconies could not have been more perfectly located. Highly suggest that anyone interested in experiencing San Fermin consider BLE for trip planning.

Sara and Bea at Running of the bulls went above and beyond to make sure our Happy Hour instead of watching the bull fights was wonderful. Bea made a special effort to get us tapas that were vegetarian

Bucket List Events did a great job with the Running of the Bulls package. Events were organized perfectly, and there was on-going communication via e-mails with helpful information. All of the staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient. The balcony viewing positions were perfect.
I will definitely use Bucket List Events for future travel plans. I could not have asked for things to have gone more smoothly.

Joining Bucket List Events in Pamplona for the San Fermin festival was hands down the best experience I could have ever imagined and then some!!! Toby and all of his team exhibited the highest level of hospitality while showing all of us how to fully embrace the amazing culture in this city and during the festival. I would 1000% recommend anyone planning their travels to Pamplona to reach out to Toby with Bucket List. It will be an adventure you will never forget!!! ¡Viva San Fermin!

Pamplona tour 2023 with Bucket List Events.

The whole experience is so well organized which makes this such a great holiday. The staff are brilliant, extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. The hotels chosen for us were way above our expectations and were awesome. I highly recommend this tour company and the San Sebastián/ Pamplona packages.

Glynis Riley, Pamplona Client

Let me start by saying that even before we arrived in Pamplona Toby and Bucket list were keeping us up to date with information about the festival with many awesome tips and things he thought we should know about the history protocols and even some spanish that was constantly used during our time there. The hotel was beautiful and the energy upon arrival was electrifying. Upon meeting our guides we found them to be warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond their responsibility to us. Especially Cassidy whom we fell in love with right away. She was awesome in every way. In fact every one of the guides we interacted with were considerate friendly funny and I personally fell in love with them all. We felt looked after, safe and catered to at all times. What a lovely group of young people. Our thanx to Peter,Stephanie, Ciaran, Dara, Ben, Greg, and last but not least Toby for his ability to hire such a genuine group of people. Although we did not have Jules for a guide her beautiful energy knocked me over. Sooo thank you once again for a positive life experience one I will not soon forget. Oh and weirdly enough what are the odds of sitting next to Malone on the plane. Crazy right? She
Also was a gem. Hopefully we’ll see you all on Vancouver Island one day Jules has all the info if you want to come and visit.

Much love to you all. Your simply amazing🥰

Electricity passed through my veins as I crossed the wooden fence onto the course to run with the bulls. I never felt anything quite like that before.

The run was insane, and someone was nice enough to take a photo of me that I’ll have on my wall for the rest of my life.

I really want to thank Bucket List Events for putting this together. I had everything I needed to trust they were professionals. Even better, from the moment I arrived, I felt like I was with friends.

Bucket List Events made sure I could just relax and enjoy the festival. All their events were well-planned. I never wondered whether I was late or in the wrong place. I felt like I had access to insider knowledge the whole time – it was the VIP experience.

I’d wanted to go to the Running of the Bulls since I was a little kid. If I’d tried to do it on my own, I know I wouldn’t have enjoyed it nearly as much as I did with Bucket List Events

Jason Rush, Pamplona Client

Thoroughly enjoyed the Festival of San Fermin and Running with the Bulls tour offered through Bucket List Events. As a descendent of Spaniards, I had no idea of the true history and cultural adaptation behind the events but BLE did a spectacular job explaining the culture, traditions and exposing clients to real, local flavor, including access to homes and balconies to witness the runs and festival events. All evening activities were well planned and expertly executed by the friendly, knowledgeable and bilingual staff employed by Bucket List Events.

I booked The Running of the Bulls through Bucket List Events and could of not of been more happy I did so. Shot out to Toby and everyone with Bucket List Events as you all made this trip amazing!! If anyone is thinking of going through Bucket List Events, I suggest you do. I think the best way to sum up what they do is detail. They make absolute sure you know everything, it is simple, they go to great lengths to help everyone, educate, and make sure that everyone of their guests is taken care of. I could write a small book on our time we had and everything they did, but to make it easy, they do everything, stress gone (well most of it, I did run with the bulls), and answer all questions. They take the time to contact you numerous times in advance, taking away the pre-trip jitters. Plain and simple they are awesome, I will be booking many trips through Bucket List Events and strongly suggest them to anyone and everyone, they will not disappoint!!!!

Hands down the best experience I could have imagined!! We did the 2 night stay with balcony viewing. The walking tour was amazing, Toby and everyone else had so much information for us, while also getting to know some of the other guests and making great friends! The balcony was AMAZING!! The owner made a delicious breakfast and the view was better than I could have imagined! The hotel was very nice and within walking distance to the festival without being loud. We are already talking about coming back with bucket list events!!! If you are at all wanting to visit running with the bulls, definitely book with them!!

Book with Bucket List Events!! They are amazing! I did Running with the Bulls yesterday, and it was one of the best experiences of my life!! It is so quick and easy to book with them, and they took care of everything! The venue was incredible with up-close views of the action! They provide clear & concise instructions on all the details for the event. Honestly, I couldn't have imagined a better experience! Thank you, Bucket List Events!!! I will definitely be seeing you guys again soon!!

We had the time of our lives here. Bucket List Staff took care of us and we needed extra help getting to all the events. Food and room exceeded our expectations. What a party!

Showed great interest in what they were doing & a very fun, personable group! Definitely helped ease the stress of possible goring hahaha! Did take their advice, ran with it & survived 🤗😆 Definitely plan on doing Pamplona again! Thanks for a great time Toby & team!

Kevin Gallagher, Pamplona Client

I attended the San Fermin festival with the Bucket List crew to Run With The Bulls recently and it truly was one of the most memorable trips of my life. The staff was outstanding and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs from start to finish. Dara’s knowledge of the history of the event and his insights on running safely connected me to the festival’s rich heritage in ways I had not anticipated prior. Jules, Toby, and Ciaran were great too. I honestly could list the whole team off individually but this review would take too long to read. Long story short, I can’t recommend this trip and Bucket List Events enough. I look forward to seeing all of you again soon!!

Bucket List Events did an excellent job organizing the group for the Running of the Bulls. Everything was well-organized, and a grand time was had by all. I would not hesitate to book another event through BLE.

Bucket List Events was awesome. They are very flexible which made it easy to find just the right package for us. They made our experience of Running with the Bulls amazing. The staff was great but best of all, their knowledge made it easy for us to fulfill our dream flawlessly and truly enjoy every minute. The hotel provided was also superb. The location was perfect, the staff friendly, the breakfast spectacular and the room comfortable and spacious. Two thumbs up for Toby and his staff at Bucket List.

Jeff, 2023 Pamplona Client

I would do it all over again with these guys! We were the last ones to arrive on the first day and were very late. Bucket list events made sure there was someone there to greet us at the hotel, and transported us to the restaurant to meet the rest of the group. They also provided us with a great hotel and balcony for the running of the bulls. Our last night was spent at a Michelin star restaurant in Pamplona and fireworks in the park for the closing ceremonies. I’m considering them again for October fest in Germany. A great experience!

Nicole and Elias Zermeno, Pamplona Client

Words can't fully describe the joy that this Running of the Bulls trip brought us! We aren't usually the type of people who enjoy group activities and tours---But, Bucket List Events absolutely changed our minds! Toby and his team made this event incredible. From the ease of booking, to check in, the walking tour (and tapas/wine), the group dinner (delicious), the AMAZING balcony views/spots for watching the runs and the run itself-----this trip was top-notch!!!

One of the best pieces of preparation that Bucket List Events provided was making sure that guests knew what to expect (from the crowds, the music, the food, the fun, the run, the sun, the attire and the bull fight).

The hotel accommodations in both Pamplona and San Sebastian were fantastic! The locations, the views, the staff and the included breakfast. We were thoroughly pleased with everything.

We truly cannot wait to book another trip with Bucket List Events- they were consistent in ensuring that we were having a great time, making the most of our trip (there was plenty of time to explore on our own), and every single team member was exceptional!

Great experience for someone that has never even left North America. To run with the bulls, go to a Michelin star restaurant, learn everything I did. Worth every penny.

Like everyone else, I'm ready to explore and travel after a year of dashed plans! Even though Running of the Bulls was postponed yet another year, Bucket List Events has been so helpful and encouraging as I look ahead to planning for 2022. THANK YOU. Toby, for going the extra mile!!!

Carmie Brown, Pamplona Client, travelled in 2022
Louis Sciortino, Pamplona Client

Words cannot describe the fantastic time I had on my trip to Pamplona to run with the bulls. From check in to check in to check out, everything was great and spot on.

The tickets to the bull fight had to be some of the best seats in the arena. As someone from New Orleans, a place where we don’t eat to live but live to eat the group meal was unbelievable.

I would also like to commend you on the choice of guides. While I am sure they are all good, Kate, McKenzie and Carla knocked it out of the park.

On our train ride to Pamplona we met many people who had booked with different groups. When we ran into a couple of them in Pamplona they could not believe the value of the package from Bucket List Events we received.

As someone who shies away from group bookings, this trip far exceeded my expectations. Now I just have to find time in my schedule to return and do it again.

Thank you for everything.

Jaime Jimenez, Pamplona Client

I have been to 67 countries and had many wonderful experiences. But Running With The Bulls was an experience of a lifetime that tops all in my book. It had excitement, adrenaline to the max, a touch of danger, lots of constant party and great cousine from the Mediterranean. I encourage everyone to leave it to the experts to organize your trip. The Bucket List Events did just that.

Jaime Jimenez, Pamplona Client, travelled in 2019
Glenn, 2023 Pamplona Client

With some initial hesitancy I contacted bucket list events in Texas whilst I was in Australia to talk about running with the bulls in Spain. However Toby and his team were absolutely faultless-professional-and personable. Every i was dotted and t crossed . BLE made my experience perfect. I would recommend them unreservedly. Thanks Toby and team 👍🦘

We did the Running of the Bulls with them in Pamplona 2024. Awesome event! Once you check in at the hotel Toby, Connor and their staff do the rest! They made it easy to navigate all the events by scheduling and escorting groups to everywhere we wanted to be. There were 6 in our group and Bucket list managed to get photos of all of us! I will travel with them again and highly recommend for a fun stress free adventure.

Laurie Tinker, 2022 Pamplona Client

WOW, what a wonderful trip! Thank you to Toby and his outstanding staff who were friendly, kind, efficient, full of energy and a delight to be with. The organization is top notch! A group of 4 of us recently went to Pamplona and thank goodness we went with Bucket List. They took care of everything! The hotel was great and in a prime location. The balcony days were exciting, Opening Day was unbelievable, the bull fight was interesting (not for everyone), the dinner was very good, etc. If you want to go to Pamplona for Running of the Bulls you need to do it with Toby and his staff. Without them you will not be able to see all the events that you want to attend nor will you be able to secure balcony locations. They have been doing this program for a number of years and have the event down to a science. I cannot encourage you enough to book through them. The money is so very well spent. Enjoy!!

One Word, Amazing! Okay maybe 3 , Professional and Thorough! I was so surprised. I had no idea what to expect as never used them before. They had the best accommodations, great deal of staff to help everyone. Picked locations that were fantastic and walking distance to everything. Top notch from start to finish. I even booked a second trip with already.

Toby and his entire team (especially Izzy, “Z” and Connor) put together an amazing experience in Pamplona for the Festival. Our flight from the U.S. was delayed several hours and we arrived in Pamplona after the tour of the route we were set to run the next morning. We stayed in touch with Toby and he arranged for Izzy & Z to meet us and give us a full tour of the route even though it was after 8 PM when we finally got there. They explained the history of the run and the town and also showed us the best place to start and where their balcony was for the next day so they could get the best pictures of us during the run. We had a great time that night and were fully prepared for our adventure the next morning.

The team was all there in the morning and got us to the square and ready for the run. And despite the sky high expectations for this truly Bucket List experience everything actually exceeded our wildest dreams! After 15 minutes or so in the arena we met up with the team and went back to the hotel for breakfast and a wind down. Another first rate experience there too. The hotel was fabulous and centrally located and just another example of the level of quality and attention to detail that Toby and his team dedicate to everything they do.

As we were enjoying breakfast and swapping stories with other runners & guests Toby started sending some pics of our run that he took from his balcony, several professional-quality shots that included the exact moment I touched the bull during the run. Capturing that moment for me was simply priceless and allowed me to memorialize this fabulous experience forever.

I can’t adequately express my delight with literally every aspect of the trip and everything Toby and his team did for us, from working around our very late arrival to making every minute enjoyable and special. This experience was worth every penny (and more!) and we will definitely be taking another trip with Bucket List Events.

Thank you Toby, Izzy, Z & Connor! Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience made particularly special by your and your team!!

My 18-year old son and I loved the 2024 Running With the Bulls package - it was the thrill of a lifetime. We started in San Sebastián - the hotel was amazing with views right over the beach. We ate amazing food and hiked part of the Camino de Santiago. Then we traveled to Pamplona for the opening ceremony and ran the first 2 days of the event, ending in the arena both times. The tour staff was amazing - so helpful and responsive - and the accommodations and food tours were top notch. If you want a first-class experience with knowledgeable and helpful professionals, BOOK THIS EVENT!

Mark Black, Pamplona Client

Everything was spot-on, right on time, delicious, hilarious, thought-provoking and reassuring, all in the right measure. From Dara's stops with the group on the way to the bulls to give last minute advice, to Jules' fabulous insights into anything I asked about, you could tell that these folks cared deeply about our experiences and well-being.

A hardcore DIYer, I had the fleeting thought about trying to do this whole thing myself, and I immediately moved on, assured that there was no way I could match the BLE staff for their vast knowledge and organization. They're worth every cent. Try them and see.

Thanks again everyone, and happy trails!

Joined the Bucket List Events team for two days in Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls 2024. The entire team was great at explaining all of the cultural aspects of the event and also providing great recommendations around the city. The balconies were in great locations and extremely easy to meet up with the group beforehand. Connor, Toby and Dara were all great guides and would highly recommend BLE for the Running of the Bulls or any other events they put on!

I highly recommend Bucket List Events. We had a fantastic experience at the San Fermin Festival (Running of the Bulls) in Pamplona, Spain. Toby put together an unforgettable trip and employs a great group of guides. Everyone on the team was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. We had quite a bit of interaction with Ciaran, Sarah, Dara, Javier and Sophia and they helped make the trip especially memorable. Although we had less interaction with the rest of the team, every one we encountered was pleasant and helpful. From the pre-trip communications to the unbeatable balcony views of the Bull Run and Closing Ceremonies, to the dinners, happy hours, walking tour and hotel, everything was top notch!

I did some homework before hiring Bucket List to handle my trip to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona in 2023. I was confident I had made the right choice when I began to receive monthly advice from the company when I signed up in January. The advice was very helpful and concise. The staff was attentive, generous with their time and accommodating and their welcome at the hotel was great. I felt very confident in this young group of staff. Thank you very much.

Bucket List Events provided everything we needed for a great experience Running with the Bulls. From the booking, information leading up to the event, and then at the event everything was professional. The guides we had while in Pamplona giving us the tour of the city, at happy hour, on the Balcony, getting us to the spot to run, and the bull fight were top notch! Specifically Sophia, Jules and Sarah! Local knowledge mixed with event knowledge, very personable, answered every question. Highly recommend Bucket List Events for Pamplona, Running with the Bulls!

Toby and the crew at BLE were great hosts at San Fermin in Pamplona. The itineraries were well planned and there were plenty of team members on hand to make sure we were taken care of at all times. We spent alot of time with Dara, Jules, Malone and Maggie and really enjoyed hanging out with them and getting their perspective on world travel. We were very happy we chose BLE. It couldn't have gone any better!

We have a wonderful time at the San Fermin Festival and the Running of the Bulls! Toby and the Bucket List Events team made everything great. We are still raving about the experience a month later! Will definitely use this service in the future and may even return to Pamplona!

Toby and his team at Bucket List Events delivered an impeccable experience at Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain during the 2022 San Fermin festival. I would not change anything. We had 17 people, and none of us had to think about a single thing. From the itinerary, to the accommodations, events, and staff, it's impossible to do this event any better. 11/10. Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend them enough. Toby and his team are first class giving an unbeatable experience throughout the San Fermin festival making it an unforgettable lifetime experience. All the arrangements went as planned the hotel was excellent in a great location close to things but far enough away to give some piece. The activities they arranged such as restaurants were all high quality. Really enjoyed myself and well worth the travel from Scotland.

We used Bucket List Events for our trip to Pamplona July 2022! It was unreal!! The team did such a good job with everything and everyone was so friendly. We have already told all of our family and friends about Bucket List Events. They made the trip effortless for us! The balconies we had to watch the opening ceremony and running with the bulls were LEGIT! My husband ran and said it was the trip of a lifetime! Thank you Bucket List Events!!

Mike York, Pamplona Client

An amazing experience we could not have had without BLE. We thought about just "winging it" and do the run on our own but decided to give BLE a shot instead, a great decision! Toby was great on several phone calls to help us decide and supportive in communications after we decided and prepared for our trip. When we got to Pamplona the hotel was wonderful, the welcome by the BLE staff was more than we had hoped for - they made us feel comfortable from the start. The support the staff provided was top notch. We would highly recommend BLE!

We used Bucket List Events for our trip to Pamplona for San Fermin Festival (Running with the Bulls). Toby and his team did an absolutely outstanding job! I cannot say enough good things about this entire trip from start to finish. The add-on of a few days in San Sebastian was exquisite with another great walking tour including delicious local cuisine. Bucket List Events definitely made this the trip of a lifetime!

I randomly picked this group off the internet and hit the jackpot. They corresponded with me with details up to the date of our event. They were always available on the telephone for my questions. Very organized. A great way to see an event and let someone else handle the details. Wonderful, friendly staff. Will use this group again. Highly recommend!

This was my first experience with Bucket List Events and it was wonderful. The team was well organized and readily available. The apartments from which we were able to view the event were perfectly located with plenty of balcony viewing space.  I would recommend Bucket List Events and would participate in another one of their activities. I found the team to be reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. Thanks Bucket List Events!

Toby and his team are amazing! They ensured my husband and I had the best experience possible at the San Fermin festival this year. From the beginning we were happy with the excellent communication during planning and the thoughtful gifts and reminders provided. The team was so much fun and it always felt like a trip with friends. It is clear how passionate Toby and his team are about providing a comfortable experience for everyone. I can’t wait to book with BucketList events again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great trip without the headache of planning.

Bucket List events did a great job organizing groups for this year's running of the bulls. All of the trolls posting reviews on this page without having actually experienced the company are misplacing their complaints. The San Fermin Festival has been around for centuries. You may have a problem with the event, but don't take it out on Bucket List Events. BLE provided us with excellent information before and during the event. The hotel, the hosts for balcony viewing, the food, the drinks, the coordination for those who wanted to run -- all well organized. I am glad I took advantage of their services rather than trying to go on my own -- I would have never been as successful. They do a terrific job. I would not hesitate to experience another event with them.

What an awesome experience to Run with the Bulls. Having a professional team like Toby and his team at your disposal, took the stress and anxiety out and allow me to concentrate on having fun. Even the support leading up to the event, like the monthly updates and easy payment arrangement was great. If you plan to participate in any exciting event, look no further than Bucket List Events to organize it for you. Will recommend them to anybody.

Joyce Yates, Pamplona Client

We had an amazing time with Toby and team. They made the experience seamless and smooth. We did 4 days in Pamplona and 2 in San Sebastián. The hotels we stayed at were great! We were thankful to have the hotel in Pamplona away from the party scene. They made sure we had all the information we needed to participate in the bull run safely. The 2 days at San Sebastián were a nice way to end a great and exciting adventure. All the guides were very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend doing the tour versus going on your own. You will get way more out of it. It also takes the stress away from trying to figure out all the logistics. Thank you Toby and team!!

Possible to give more than 5 ⭐️s???!! I can’t say enough great things about our experience with the Bucket List Events team and our time at the San Fermin festival. From the initial outreach to the warm goodbyes and personal messages thanking us within days of us leaving, every detail and task was well thought out as well as thoughtful. We will definitely be back with the help of Bucket List Events!

Bucket List Events exceeded our expectations! We can't begin to explain what a great job they did with the Running of the Bulls.

We are looking forward to doing it again. Highly Highly recommend Bucket List Events!

Always wanted to experience the Running of the Bulls. Toby and his team did a fantastic job and were with us every step of the way to maximize the experience. The balcony locations to see the opening festivities (Chupinazo) as well as the balcony locations on Estafeta Street & Dead Man's Curve were incredible. I highly recommend Bucket List Events.

We went to running of the bulls last week and the team at Bucket List Events were very friendly, informative, helpful, and overall made the experience significantly better than we could have had trying to go all by ourselves. They delivered way more than I expected going into it all.

Hands down would easily recommend them for any event they’re offering assistance with. We’re excited to see what other places they can take us to give that top notch experience in another country.

Thanks again guys!

Bucket List Events made the the San Fermin Festival truly a bucket list experience!!! They put us in the BEST hotel. The breakfast and house keeping were amazing, and it is the same hotel the matadors stayed at. They also had some fantastic balconies available for us to view from. Not only from Estafeta street, but also Dead Man's Curve! The staff was always available to answer any and every question, and they were a blast to hangout with! They booked us great dinners and had great recommendations on other places to try. I would definitely recommend booking with Bucket List Events, they go above and beyond to meet every need. It was an amazing experience!

Throughout the process Toby was there to answer any and all questions I had for my group.

Joining Bucket List Events in Pamplona for the San Fermin festival was hands down the best experience I could have ever imagined and then some!!! Toby and all of his team exhibited the highest level of hospitality while showing all of us how to fully embrace the amazing culture in this city and during the festival. I would 1000% recommend anyone planning their travels to Pamplona to reach out to Toby with Bucket List. It will be an adventure you will never forget!!! ¡Viva San Fermin!

Not usually one for organized tour types of things I went against my nature and reached out to Toby for one of the stops on a trip I was taking with my son for his graduation. The main event of the trip was Pamplona and the run. This turned out to be a great decision as the convenience and knowledge that came with Toby and the rest of the team at BucketList Events made the trip all that much better. I can not recommend this event and this team enough. Thanks for your attention and making this a great lifetime memory.

The event of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain has been on my Bucket List, since I was stationed in Sarajevo, Bosnia back in 1998. Due to timing problems, I never made it to the event.

Then I found Bucket List Events com on line, and after doing some research, I signed up with them. What a great decision on my part. Toby Atkins, and his great team organized the whole experience for me (and the others who signed up).

I have to admit that I was apprehensive about getting down on the street and actual running with live bulls. Here is how Toby arranges the experience. I arrived at the hotel in the morning, and I had until 3pm to walk around and sight see Pamplona. At 3pm, I was met in the hotel lobby by the guides (who warmly introduced themselves to me), and given my packet (including my cool Run with the Bulls t-shirt). At 6am the next morning, we walked to an apartment overlooking the street where the bulls ran each morning. So, I got to see from above what the actual run looked like. There were other guests in the apartment, who had been there before the previous morning. Today, they were running. Today, I was observing. After the run, some of the runners came back up, and we were able to discuss their experiences, and I picked up some tips.

That afternoon, Toby, and some of the guides took us on the walk of the entire run that had been held each morning. I got to view what it looked like from the street view.

The next morning, we were again escorted back to the apartment, and at 7:50am, I walked down the stairs from the apartment, and out unto the road.

The rocket sounded at 8:00, and a wall of runners started coming down from the direction of the bulls. I started running, whooping it up with the other runners. Soon the bulls were running past, and then they disappeared towards the bull arena. It is a fast experience.

What a rush. Toby and his team make all the arrangements, and we just have to show up to-participate and enjoy. It is a truly professional and well-coordinated endeavor. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. Thank you Toby and Kasey, Kelly, Thecla, LeRae, Fatima and Adrienne for making our trip to Pamplona one worthy of going into the record books.

Once again Toby and his team absolutely delivered an unforgettable experience. This is the second time we have used this organization and they continue to impress. My friends and I had the pleasure of experiencing the Running of the Bulls festival with Bucket List Events this year and I would easily do it again.

The festival itself is such an amazing time, with the whole town constantly buzzing with high energy and good times. If anyone is thinking of going, please go-go as soon as you can, and when you do use Bucket List Events. They had access to some of the best viewing points of the bull runs and arranged the most fun activities in the evenings.

Besides the festival what made this trip an amazing time was the relentless attention to detail and service provided by Toby and his staff. They are all friendly and helpful and they make you feel like you're on vacation with old friends. They make themselves available day or night and they go above and beyond any expectations you might have. In addition to Toby- who is fantastic, we spent a lot of time with Casey, Kelly, and Techla. Words can't justify how much fun we had with these ladies, what a great crew. Fatima, Adrien, and LaRae are also so friendly and helpful to any and everything you need.

I could go on all day about what a great time with had with everyone, so if you have a chance to have a Bucket List Events experience-take it.

Thanks again Toby and the crew!

The Pamplona Bucket List Event experience was fantastic from start to finish. Starting months before Toby sent information and guides to help you plan, prepare, and of the history of the San Fermin Festival.

The hotel in Pamplona was very comfortable and the away from the craziness going on in the Plaza. We were greeted immediately by friendly enthusiastic people. Our schedule was perfect allowing plenty of free time. The staff was awesome!!! They even found out where we could buy a replacement suitcase for our son as well as bringing him ice packs after he had a “run in” with a bull after his second run that week.

Even though we booked the midweek experience for Pamplona there were people who only had a day or two weaving in and out throughout the week. I was impressed with how Bucket List Event’s was able accommodate them and to give them a full experience.

Toby, you are awesome! We loved your humor and wealth of information, some even useful. :-p Thank you and Kasey, Kelly, Thecla, LeRae, Fatima and Adrienne for making our trip to Pamplona one worthy of going into the record books.

I was very surprised at the quality of service that Toby and his group provided for my wife and I. Running with the Bulls with them was by far the best decision made in terms of planning the trip to Pamplona. I recommend and mention them when i retell my story of running with the bulls.
