Running of the BullsReviews of festivalpros.com

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I originally signed up for a balcony and then after hearing want an amazing dinner our balcony mates had we were fortunate to get an opportunity to join in one of the nights we were there. The balcony was the perfect location and offered the best views just after dead mans curve, you definitely felt like you were running with the group below. The real topper was the dinner! A very intimate setting, flamingo dancer and amazing food not to mention the fireworks to top off the night! I am so glad I booked through Mark; one of the nicest people you can ever meet!

just positive, they did everything they promised

Mark and his team were great to work with. They were organized, quick to respond to questions, and set us up with fantastic accommodations and events. I did not participate in many of the group activities that were offered, but would do so next time. You can go as "solo" as you want during the festival, or be guided around. That's what's nice about Mark's operation.

We booked a VIP package that included last 2 nights of the festival with a perfectly located hotel inside the old city, Balcony for the Bull run, tickets to Quadrilla dinner, Bullfight tickets, Balcony for closing ceremony, Hemmingway breakfast and transfers to and from station. It was very expensive, even more since we had to convert form Australian currency. Having said that I booked with these people because they had a good TripAdvisor rating and I didn't want to get there and find that I had been scammed. I would highly recommend this company! Everything went perfectly, being met at station and delivered to hotel. They had an office in our hotel. We were not disappointed with any aspect of this except that it cost a lot. Would I do the same if I had my time over again? I think so! This stay in Pamplona was the highlight of our Spanish tour. I felt that it was better to economise on another part of our holiday. Pamplona is hectic and full on. It was very reassuring to be looked after for a couple of days, even though I feel like we are reasonably experienced travellers.

Festival Pros provided us with the experience of a lifetime. The hotel, bullfight, and the balcony for the actual Running of the Bulls were second to none. The hotel was wonderful and located right in the middle of the part of Pamplona where the Festival of San Fermin is held, with easy access to the festival, food, and drink in the numerous bars and restaurants, and fairly close to the bullfight stadium which was crucial for me in particular as walking great distances is almost impossible. I had requested a balcony with easy access due to my disability and was provided with a wonderful private balcony for myself, my wife, and 2 grown children with a magnificent view of the bulls and those brave festival goers running before them through the streets of Pamplona. The people that owned the apartment where the balcony was located were friendly and accommodating and provided us with a nice Spanish style breakfast in a clean and well-kept environment. This was my " Bucket List " trip, and it was wonderful beyond my wildest expectations, leaving my family and me with memories of a lifetime. I honestly cannot express the level of professionalism Festival Pros provided to us before and throughout our Pamplona vacation. Bravo to Mark and his staff, or should I say Olé!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Pamplona for the running of the bulls festival. Although the balcony that we rented was not inexpensive, it was money well spent. Our view of the running was exhilarating! I would recommend it to anyone who want this once in a lifetime experience!

Wonderful experience. Balcony view and location were perfect. I recommend this company when planning your trip for the running of the bulls.

Running with the bulls made my experience in Pamplona. The place was a mad house and it was very easy to get lost in the crowd. Mark Hellmann and his team made it easy to take advantage of everything San Fermin had to offer. I highly recommend using them if you want the full experience!
