My husband and I had an unforgettable San Fermín experience with Bucket List Events. The walking tour was the perfect introduction to the festival – we learned so much about its history, traditions, and what to expect during the Running of the Bulls. We watched the bull run from the La Curva balcony, and the location exceeded every expectation we had. Having our own private balcony gave us an incredible view of the action, and the fresh churros and pizza that morning were a fun bonus! From start to finish, Bucket List Events ran an outstanding operation. Their communication before the festival was clear and thorough, and everything was exceptionally well organized throughout our time in Pamplona. A special thank you to Connor, Toby, and the entire team for creating such an incredible experience and memories we'll cherish forever. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bucket List Events to anyone planning a trip to San Fermín.

This was the craziest yet most exhilarating and anxiety provoking thing that I've done yet it was extraordinarily gratifying. I owe a large part of the gratification of this experience to Connor and Toby and the organization they provided through Bucket List Events. From start to finish the operation is seamless. The best testament I can give is to say that I was an expert on all things San Fermin. After taking the tour the evening prior to my run, My understanding of the culture, history, tradition and logistics of the Bull Run were enhanced to the degree that I was comfortable with running. In fact, on the day of the race, strangers could see in my eyes that I knew something. I found myself giving advice and educating on the street all because of what Bucket List showed and told me. I am well traveled and have used other agencies to guide me, Bucket List, Toby and Connor deserve the highest accolades. I came home with a fistfull of memories.
Thanks

Awesome unforgettable

I have been on many group trips, and for the amount of people that were affiliated with bucket list, I have to say this was one of the most thought out, well organized, well feed and boozed events I have been on. Well done guys. 100% recommend.

Cannot speak more highly of Bucket List Events and the Running of the Bulls experience in Pamplona. I have never purchased a “travel package” in my life, as I equate travel packages with tacky trips. I could not have been more wrong. We had a 10 day family trip with our 3 adult-ish kids in Spain and France. Our travel agent work with Bucket List Events and said they were pros. In the end, our 2 days in Pamplona were the highlight of the trip for each family member. The team at Bucket List Events is attentive, professional and knowledgable. The scheduled events were top notch and the hotel was well located, modern, air conditioned & even had a decent gym! Our 1st trip with Bucket List Events but not our last.

I participated in the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain from June 8-12, 2026 with Bucket List Events. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. I owe this memory all to Bucket List Events and their highly talented staff. I got the sense from the first day at the meet and greet in their office at the hotel that this was a really well run operation with an emphasis on customer service. Over the next three days I experienced first hand what an outstanding and highly professional company this really was. Every activity was really well planned and organized in an efficient and friendly manner. I always knew every detail of the activity I was to participate in that day and was never confused or had any questions about what was going to happen. Connor and Toby were awesome communicators and they have assembled an exceptional group of guides who were so friendly, interesting and helpful to all of us. Their customer service skills and local knowledge of Pamplona were top notch.
My group watched three bull runnings each morning from three different balconies in the homes of local people. The host families could not have been nicer and provided us with snacks and drinks. Safely watching the bulls pass by with an overhead balcony view of the chaos was a thrilling highlight and really made the whole experience memorable. After each run we all returned to the hotel for a great breakfast that is included. Bucket List also provided two group dinners at local restaurants that enabled us to meet the other clients and also to interact with the staff who were our guides. This dinners were awesome and the food and wine flowed non stop. We met and became friends with so many great people from all over the world. We also went to a bull fight one night accompanied by Connor and some staff. It a great cultural experience and we had great seats.
The Best part of the whole 4 days was getting to know the local guides. Their kindness and professionalism made all the difference. The two I had the most interaction with beside Connor were Bea and Carlita. They were exceptional at their job and just so much fun to be around. They really made an exceptional effort to insure we had the best experience possible. Our entire group was really sad when we parted company on the last day.
I know this is a bit long winded, but San Fermin is incredibly chaotic, and Bucket List Events made it really easy to navigate and gave us all such a positive experience. I highly recommend Bucket List events and would not hesitate to use them for any trip they offer, but Pamplona was really great. This Company is highly rated for a reason and I absolutely give them 5 stars.

We booked our 2026 Running of the Bulls trip in Pamplona, Spain, through Bucket List Events, and added two days in Barcelona before the tour and two days in San Sebastián afterward. From start to finish, this was hands down the best tour company I have ever traveled with.

What truly sets Bucket List Events apart is the personal attention they provide. The same people who helped us plan and book our trip were there to greet us in Spain and guide us throughout the entire experience. That level of continuity made us feel like valued guests rather than just another reservation. Every member of the team—from the full-time staff to the local guides—was knowledgeable, personable, fun, and genuinely invested in making our trip unforgettable.

The hotel accommodations in every city were outstanding, and every restaurant and food experience was exceptional. As for the San Fermín Festival and the Running of the Bulls, words hardly do it justice. Bucket List Events created an experience that exceeded every expectation we had. We watched the runs from balconies in prime locations alongside local hosts who were passionate about sharing their traditions and culture. They welcomed us like family, making the entire experience feel authentic, personal, and incredibly special.

What impressed me most, however, was how Bucket List Events handled unexpected situations.

Our flight to Spain was canceled because of a mechanical issue, causing us to arrive in Barcelona a full day late. Connor immediately reached out to our Barcelona guide, Filipa, to rearrange our tour schedule. Without hesitation, Filipa adjusted everything to accommodate our delayed arrival, ensuring we still experienced the highlights of Barcelona despite our shortened stay. Her flexibility and kindness turned what could have been a major disappointment into a wonderful experience.

Then, while we were in Pamplona, one member of our group experienced a medical issue. Bucket List Events immediately stepped in, sending one of their local guides to accompany him to the medical clinic to help navigate the language and healthcare system. When he was later transferred to the emergency room, she stayed with him for hours, providing support and reassurance until everything was resolved. That level of care goes far beyond what anyone would reasonably expect from a tour company.

Bucket List Events didn't just organize an incredible vacation—they created an unforgettable experience while making us feel genuinely cared for every step of the way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, outstanding local connections, and heartfelt hospitality are second to none. If you're considering a trip to the Running of the Bulls or any experience they offer, don't hesitate. I recommend Bucket List Events without reservation and would travel with them again in a heartbeat.

Our group of five couples attended the San Fermín Festival in Pamplona, Spain, with Bucket List Events, and I can honestly say they exceeded our expectations.
We booked this tour almost a year in advance. My wife and I have traveled on many organized tours over the years, ranging from sporting events to multi-city vacations, but this was our first experience with Bucket List Events. Going into it, I really didn't know what to expect—either from the event itself or from the company.
Over the months leading up to the festival, I became increasingly impressed with Bucket List Events. Their communication was excellent. They didn't just send reminders—they thoughtfully prepared us for what we were about to experience. The information they provided helped build excitement while making sure we knew what to expect. It was obvious they had put a great deal of thought into every detail.
Once we arrived in Pamplona, it became clear this was far from their first San Fermín. The city is packed with thousands of visitors during the festival, yet Bucket List Events handled everything with remarkable professionalism. Despite managing multiple groups, there always seemed to be plenty of staff available, and every team member we encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help.
The itinerary struck the perfect balance. The Running of the Bulls takes place early each morning, leaving the rest of the day to enjoy everything else the festival and city have to offer. We had plenty of free time to explore Pamplona, experience the festivities, relax by the pool, and reconnect with our group over afternoon drinks before the evening activities.
The included events were all well organized. We enjoyed an excellent tapas dinner one evening and a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant on another. Both were outstanding and are places I would happily recommend. One evening featured a bullfight, while those who chose not to attend enjoyed a happy hour with other Bucket List Events guests—a thoughtful alternative that everyone appreciated.
For me, the highlight was the location of the apartments and balconies used to watch the bull runs. They were exactly where I had hoped to be—right on top of the action at one of the most exciting sections of the course. Watching the runs from those vantage points was unforgettable.
Another standout was the walking tour of the running route on the day we arrived. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be: don't miss this tour. Plan to arrive by midday or, even better, the day before so you can participate. Walking the route beforehand gave me a much better understanding of the course and helped me decide where and how I wanted to run.
Speaking of which, I eventually ran with the bulls on the fourth day of the festival. I'll tell most people not to do it—it's definitely not for everyone—but I was 75 years old, and if I ever had the opportunity again, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Bucket List Events delivered an experience that was organized, professional, and unforgettable. If you're considering attending the San Fermín Festival, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They took what could easily have been a chaotic experience and turned it into an adventure I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Next stop….Oktoberfest 2026 Bucket List Events Thanks, D & S Jones

Bucket List Events made Running with the Bulls an amazing experience. Great hotel, great restaurants, activities, the run itself, the balconies available, and the team were 5 star all the way. The team made this a truly unforgettable experience with my son!

MyBucketListEvents thinks of everything! Toby, Conner and their crew provide the best experience possible. If you want to experience the Festival of San Fermin and the Running of the Bulls, there is no better way than with this company.

Bucket List Events made navigating the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain a fantastic experience. Their access to the balconies over Estefata Street is incredible. We were able to watch the Bulls run from the best vantage points and our tickets to the bull fights were the best you could ask for. The Team's knowledge of the event made this a 10/10 event for us. Thanks so much!

My college buddies and our wives had an incredible experience in Spain, in large part due to the wonderful work by the folks at Bucket List Events. Not only did they make the logistics of our trip to Pamplona incredibly easy, but their hospitality was fantastic.

I would strongly recommend you consider them for the trip to Pamplona or any other event they offer.

As a travel agent I’m very particular about the vendors I use because I have high expectations for my clients. Two of my clients recently returned from the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain and had so many wonderful things to say about Connor and their entire experience including the amazing location of the hotel, the tour, the breakfast, etc. I look forward to booking more Bucket List Event trips for my clients in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Bucket List events. The staff was friendly and professional. Our trip to Spain was unforgettable. The Running of the Bulls was the highlight of the trip. Every detail was well organized and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!

Conner and his team provided an exceptional experience on all fronts during our family trip to Pamplona & San Sabastian, Spain. Everything was super organized - nothing slipped through the cracks during a packed and diverse venue itinerary, in a non-English speaking country! From the welcoming meeting where packets with explicit instructions were provided, to multi-lingual staff who were professional, efficient, always available and really friendly during all events (of which there were many over a period of several days), to outstanding venue locations (hotel, balconies overlooking the running of the bulls, bull fights (with Matadors!), Michelin start restaurants, walking tours, etc., ) everything was exceptional!
Additionally, when we sought help, the team was always available to make suggestions or recommendations which made it really easy (and comfortable) to enjoy our entire experience. It was really a total package, there wasn't a single hitch - one could never ask for a more 'gold standard' level of service.
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

I used Rich Beard and bucket list events for Wimbledon and they were great. Prices were fair and service terrific.

Absolutely phenomenal service and experience. Thank you to Ben and his whole staff for a truly fabulous experience for myself and my wife at the Kentucky derby. Every detail from flying into Louisville, meet and greet at our hotel, the tours the day before the derby and the actual day of the race, was completely thought through and went off without a hitch. Any questions and he or his crew were right there with the answers. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely book more venues from them.

I have been on two Bucket List trips within the past year. They do a great job of making each event an intimate opportunity with a personalized touch all while proving a robust itinerary that isn’t overwhelming. The events are set up with time to add in your own adventures and meet new people along the way. All staff members are genuinely dedicated to ensuring your needs are met and that you enjoy your time. I highly recommend Bucket list Events.

This was our first time using Bucket List Events and we were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived at the Perrin House on Friday, to the moment we left on Monday, the staff treated us like royalty. When we arrived, Karine and Laura gave us an early check-in and immediately provided us with Azalea cocktails and snacks out on their beautiful southern style front porch. As we prepared for the Saturday/Sunday Master's Tournament, Connor and Toby gave us useful information about attending the event. They also procured dinner reservations for Friday/Saturday evenings. The "Boys" Noah and Clayton provided stress-free transportation to/from the course and restaurants and were on-time and very informative. They were a pleasure to be with. This team took absolute great care of us and the other guests. From wonderful breakfasts every morning, to outstanding charcuterie boards and cocktail parties every evening before dinner. We also enjoyed watching the Master's highlights on the 2 big screen TV's located on their front porch. The overall attention to detail was amazing and choosing to work with them again would be an easy decision. This truly was a Bucket List Event that we will never forget. Thank you for everything, Steve and LeaAnn

Bucket List Events is perfectly named. So often you think of something epic that you'd like to do - go to the Kentucky Derby, run with the bulls, visit the Macy's Day Thanksgiving parade, but you think, how would I even start to make that happen?

Last year that's what we thought about the Kentucky Derby. We knew we wanted to make it happen, but had no idea how to go about it. We found Bucket List Events, and not only did they make it happen, but to an exceptional level. Had we tried to put this together on our own, I can't even imagine the stress, frustration, and disappointment that would have ensued.

But with Ben and the team at Bucket List, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Communication was consistent, clear, and kind. They would tell us what they were going to do, and then they actually would do it. So many companies seem like they're going to provide an exceptional experience, and then it's a total let down. Not them, it was exactly what we were hoping for and more.

Whether it was answering our questions of, how do we get these Derby tickets on our phone, to, can you arrange separate transportation for our kids who can't go on a bourbon tour, to, uh oh, I left my phone on the shuttle, Ben and the team truly took care of us every step of the way. I would not hesitate for a moment to go back to them for our next epic adventure, or to recommend them to anyone else. They truly are a partner in helping you complete your bucket list.
