Itinerary

  1. Day Icon-day1 London to Pamplona

    Board your coach today & get the party started & we make our way to sunny Spain. Over the next week long adventure you’ll live the legend at Pamplona's one & only San Fermín Festival with the famous Running of the Bulls. Chill out on the coach, listen to some music & chat to your new travel buddies as we journey overnight making our way south through France to Pamplona.

  2. Day Icon-day2 Arrive Pamplona

    Hola! This afternoon we arrive in Pamplona as we get ready for the adrenalin pumping experience you’re about to have! The population of Pamplona explodes for this 9 day party, known as San Fermín, with around 350,000 travellers heading to this usually quiet town to experience a slice of the bull running action for themselves. On arrival, we'll head to the campsite where your tent & airbed will be set up for you so you're ready to go (just don’t forget your sleeping bag!). Tonight gets the party started with our delicious dinner and sangria party!

  3. Day Icon-day3 Pamplona

    Here’s your chance to get out & about and visit town or hang back to the campsite & take advantage of the great facilities on offer. Relax with your mates as you chill by the pool with a sangria or head to the campsite bar for a couple of cocktails and evening entertainment – the vibe here is awesome.

  4. Day Icon-day4 Pamplona - Opening Ceremony

    Get the party started this morning & jump on our free shuttle in to Pamplona for the Opening Ceremony. With a rocket launched to start the festivities, as well as sangria, cerveza (beer) & egg throwing, help start the action of the next few days off with a bang! After the ceremony, there’s your choice to spend longer in town (there’s fireworks late at night) or take one of our free shuttles back to the campsite & take advantage of the great facilities on offer. Relax with your mates as you chill by the pool with a drink, or head to the campsite bar for a couple of cocktails.

  5. Day Icon-day5 Pamplona - Bull Run

    Jump on a shuttle & head in to Pamplona for the first run. Live it like a local & play a part in this 400 year old tradition, where bulls are let loose through the city streets. This buzzing atmosphere is guaranteed to be a once in a lifetime experience! Don your red & white gear if you're game enough to get amongst it - or steer clear as a spectator - the vibes are just as exciting. After the run, choose to stay around town, or you could choose to take it easy too - relax back at the campsite & top up your tan by the pool. You can take it up a level tonight, there’s loads going on at the campsite, like competitions, bands, prizes & entertainment, or stick around town at a local spot as the shuttle service runs late into the night. The party vibe at the campsite is awesome, so let the good times roll!

  6. Day Icon-day6 Icon-day7 Pamplona to London

    After breakfast and further time to enjoy the area, it’s time to say farewell to the sun & good times over the last 5 days. Jump back on the coach & snooze or hang out with your travel buddies & re-live the awesome memories from the last few days as we start the journey back to London through France. On arrival in London this afternoon, make sure you swap addresses with your new buddies as the tour ends upon arrival.
