Running of the Bulls Tour with an Expert Runner

This hour-long journey down the cobbled streets of Pamplona provides unparalleled insight into the fabled history of El Encierro – the Running of the Bulls. If you’ve ever wondered how daredevil locals – and visitors—run the gauntlet unscathed, this is the tour for you! Dennis Clancey, veteran bull runner and director of the documentary Chasing Red, explains the strategies used by mozos (bull runners) as they sprint down the narrow streets of Santo Domingo, Mercaderes and Estafeta trying to avoid being trampled by 1,200-pound beasts. Wireless earpieces make listening a breeze as you wander the noisy route through Pamplona’s Old Quarter. Tour groups are kept small to ensure a more personalized experience as Dennis sheds light on the realities of being a bull runner in the San Fermin Festival.
