Running of the BullsReviews of festivalpros.com

When I signed up for the Running of the Bulls program, I requested La Curva (dead man’s curve) balcony seats and for the bull fight Contrabarrera Sombra seats. Contrabarrera Sombra (shade) seats are the two rows behind the elite Barrera section. Although in a “packaged” tour, I really didn’t expect to get either. To my delight, the viewpoint was on inside the corner of the 90-degree turn with balconies with views of both sides of the course! Then came the bull fight. At check in, I thought they had lost my ticket as I was not with either seating group. Connor found my sats in the coveted Contraberrera section, three rows up from the dirt! This is a place honor for fans of Spanish Bullfighting. Toby, Connor and Clavin DELIVERED, plus they were friendly, accommodating and conveyed an air of excitement to all their participants.

Before any more days pass, I want to extend a huge thank you to you, your team, and our hosts during the San Fermin festival. Everything was amazing. And although I'm sure each host, Maria, Pablo and Pedro did a great job with their people, our Klaudia ( that's what we call her now) was absolutely fabulous. We enjoyed every single minute with her. She was fun yet always professional, extremely knowledgeable about the town and festival, answered our zillion questions and made us feel like family. We asked one question - yes only one - that she couldn't answer, but she did her research after we parted for the night and gave us the answer the very next morning. We wish we could have taken her to San Sebastián with us. Bottom line, Running of the Bulls did a fantastic job with our group from start to finish. BRAVO!!!

Balcony rental for 4 on Estafeta on July 12, 2019, the rental was as promised, We were met @ approx 6:45 am and taken to the apt at 7 am. The host had a light breakfast prepared. Myself and the family enjoyed the experience

Mark and his team are first rate. Running with the Bulls with these guys is like taking a test when you already have all the answers. Even as a rookie runner I felt very prepared by using the resources this group provides.

Great experience. We decided to go on this adventure on a weeks notice and Pam and Mark made it happen with ease. I changed a few excursions and added a person and they again made the adjustments with ease and like it was no trouble at all. The gave great advice and made it a memorable experience. I highly recommend.

Simply outstanding. Exceed what were very high expectations. Worth the extra money we paid in order to have the best experience. As I highlight below, there were a number of specific things your company did that made this go from a "once in a lifetime experience" to an experience I cannot wait to bring friends to and repeat. I want to say thank you for the incredible work you and your team did for us this week. We just returned from four days in Pamplona and had a wonderful experience, due in no small part to the product and service that your company provided. Your balconies and tours were worth every penny. The amount of information we learned from you was invaluable before we arrived and between that data and the knowledge we gained on the walking tour from Dennis (Go Army, beat navy), we were well prepared for our run. Almost everyone completes the run without injury, but I think many people get little out of it except to watch a bull run by. With your information, we knew more about how to run, where to start, plusses and minuses of different locations, cautions on the sweeper bulls that trail behind, and countless other tips. The next morning when I saw myself in the local newspaper I thought that I never would have been in the right place, running in the right manner, and enjoying myself that much, without the help from your service. We rented a balcony for the first day's opening ceremony "Chupinazo" events and it was so worth it! The view of the square and the festivities was unforgettable. My friends who have seen my social media postings cannot believe the scene and the amount of joy and craziness in that tiny square. And we eventually snuck down and joined the insanity. It was priceless. But our greatest appreciation goes to the young lady you had working the door at Estafada 2-1 on 08 and 09 July. We accidentally booked our balcony backwards (2 seats on one day and 1 seat on the other day) and ended up with an extra seat when I was running and short a seat when I was not running. Your team, and especially the woman running the location at 2-1, was perfect! She figured out a solution and got us into a position where we had the most awesome viewing of the curve! What a lifesaver. Please thank her for her professionalism. Also, your use of the Trip Plans app was great. That was so smart and made it so easy to link up where we needed to be and have all the information at our fingertips. Your service was a bit more expensive but we are really glad we paid the extra dollars for a top class experience with excellent professionals. We are happy to provide a testimonial for website and hope we can bring some friends back with us in the future.

If you are considering going to watch or run with the bulls I would highly recommend booking with “Running of the Bulls”. I am someone who doesn’t get out much, I was a little concerned about being in a foreign country without knowing how to speak Spanish. Mark and his crew made me feel completely at ease every moment. The app made it impossible to get lost. The people of Pamplona are extremely friendly even with the language barrier, people were helpful. I usually spoke someone who spoke some English everywhere I went. I live near New Orleans in Louisiana and have experienced Mardi Gras. The atmosphere at the festival makes Mardi Gras look like a church picnic, except there were no fights the entire time I was there even with hundreds of thousands of people. Mark and his associates made all the difference.

Without question, thanks to all the pertinent and accurate information on the website, as well as the great helpdesk on site at the hotel in Pampalona our trip from the USA was a great and successful experience. Thank you for making the experience much better
