This is priceless - This experience was insane. Undescribable. The tension in the build up. The floor shaking when the bulls pass right underneath us. The screaming . The aftermath of injuries. I wasn't expecting something so amazing.
Then the organization. Without the Good tour company we would not have been able to organise this. The city closes many roads and you really need to be an expert to manage something like this. And this company are the best San Fermín operators for a reason. Everything is just perfectly organised.
The guide and owner, Jimi was unbelievable. His knowledge and kindness are just off the charts.
The hosts of the flat where also the most sweet people you can imagine.
They had a great buffet style breakfast ready for us and even made hot chocolate for our daughter. We will come back to San Sebastián in October and we have already pre-booked all our tours with Jimi. He has also gave us insider tips to find the best prices for accomodation and recommended restaurants, villages to visit and so much more.
Money cannot buy all this.
PRICELESS.

Truly memorable and worth the money - We were greeted by our fabulous guide Oihana at 7. A lot of the roads were already blocked, and there were people everywhere. It was only a 1 minute walk to the private home and balcony. We were greeted by our hosts who had prepared an excellent breakfast. The build up to the run was fascinating and exciting. The run itself only took 30 seconds, but was worth it. The atmosphere is amazing. We left soon after and had a walking tour of the town. We were only the second customers for our guide who was highly knowledgeable and it was a memorable trip. While it's expensive to have a private balcony, it's impossible to see the run otherwise. The crowds are huge, most have been drinking all night and it's packed. It's a crazy experience but a once in a lifetime event.

San Fermin Bucket List - The Good Tour Company and Jimi Rawlins Rivera made our bucket list trip to San Fermin and the running of the bulls’ epic and wonderful. Jimi is a local and a San Fermin expert. His insight and advice are a cheat code for the festival and how to do it right. Jimi put us on a balcony above the Estafeta Curve literally on top of all the action. His tour company gave us a guide for the day, Jenny, who was excellent. After viewing the 1st Encierro Jenny took us on a walking tour of the city. Jenny’s tour included several significant sights and a great historical perspective. Our tour ended with a perfect front row view of the big heads and the formal procession from the cathedral. Something not to be missed. If you are going to run, Jimi is the man. He’s a veteran with years of experience, and his advice was a great help. Our run was successful and lived up to our expectations. Our trip to Pamplona and San Fermin was amazing because we connected with The Good Tour Company, Jimi Rawlins Rivera and his team. Locals who know the scene, love their home, and go out of their way to make sure their guests feel welcomed.

An unforgettable San Fermín experience – 5 stars aren’t enough! - We had an incredible experience with The Good Tour Company and its owner, Jimi Rawlins Rivera, during the opening day of the Fiesta de San Fermín in Pamplona. Through Jimi, we secured premium balcony spots to watch the Running of the Bulls—and I can confidently say it was the best viewing location in the entire city. Our balcony was literally next-door to the Spanish national television broadcast, giving us a front-row view of one of the most iconic traditions in the world.
After the run, we were led on a wonderful walking tour of Pamplona’s historic old city. Jimi’s deep knowledge of the festival, the culture, and the city’s history (he grew up here!) made the entire experience very memorable.
We can’t say enough good things about Jimi personally. He was honest, transparent, and incredibly experienced. On top of that, he’s just a genuinely kind and personable guy—the kind of guide who makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a tourist.
As people sometimes say when words fall short: five stars just aren’t enough. If you’re visiting Pamplona and want to truly experience the spirit of San Fermín, book with The Good Tour Company. You won’t regret it!

Overpriced for what we experienced - I thought after the bull run we were to head into the Plaza de Toros which was included in the price. This never happened. Good breakfast. Your of town was nice. Very sweet guide but they did not know the historical information very well.
