Transplanted from Sunny South Africa, I have fallen in love with Pamplona and its beautiful buildings, food and people. I love telling stories about how people and places change each other, with a pinch of salt and humour thrown in. Also I let you in on some of our secrets...

Tour description

What is the connection between Pamplona and Star Wars?
I could tell you, but you will have to take a walk with me....

My intimate, personal tour takes you along paved streets built on top of a fortress wall, to public squares, while wandering statues and legendary stories enrich the city's history, following in the footsteps of Romans, fallen heroes and a lot of bull, with a viewpoint over a green river valley, so you will be able to live Pamplona's heritage and see it through my eyes.

Being a lover of good gastronomy, I would also love to introduce you to my favourite wintery treat: hot chocolate and churrus. Otherwise a delightful pinxto or three...

My goal is to let you understand why we run in front of bulls, and not behind, but also so you see that Pamplona is more than just the running of the bulls.
