Free walking tours in Pamplona

He showed me how to use a traditional item and I could try to use it. He has extensive knowledge ranging from history and culture to local cuisine,and it was helpful to understand Pamplona.

Excellent tour, great history, clear and easy-to-understand English with fun activities, a lot of great background and on top of that, Gus seemed to know everyone while we were talking around! I only had one full day in Pamplona and I was really glad this was the main activity I did. Definitely one of the best tours I've taken (and I take one in every city I've visited...and I've been to 15+ towns/cities in Spain)!

I was initially surprised that Gus continued to lead the tour since I was the only person. I’m glad he did! I really enjoyed the focus he gave blending history with what is there today. His emphasis on the Encerreis (running of the bulls) was perfect as it brought to life how the Spanish delight in festivals. I highly recommend Gus’ tour.

Wonderful tour--with lots of useful suggestions. For example, go to restaurants/cafés with the longest waiting lines of locals, where the best vegetarian meals are served. Entertaining insights into the bull runs.

Amazing - Gus transformed us individuals in a group: we had a lot of fun together and spent a really good time - would like to meet Anna & Co. again - well done 😀

I enjoyed this tour very much. A relaxed and easy going conversation with wit and humour. Unexpected lesson in playing Pilote was a highlight. Thoroughly appreciated the recommendations for food and refreshments.

Gus was great- would definitely recommend his tour to anyone visiting Pamplona!!

This was a great tour with Gus. It was informative and fun . With a chance to have a little class of Jai Alai at the end of the tour!! I would definitely recommend this tour if you want a friendly and interesting guide who obviously loves his job 😀

The tour was interesting, fun and easy to follow. Some historic facts but not too much to get boring. We had a great walk around even though it was raining, we got into places I would have never expected like cafe Iruña. Our guide was entertaining, engaging and in high spirit to carry the mood of the group. His first hand experience at the bull run is a great testimony and interesting story to hear. I was surprised because this finally reminded me of those first years of the free walking tours where people were sharing their experience in the city and interesting facts…more than a list of dates. Totally recommended, after 2.5 hours you will know much more about Pamplona and the Bull run and have a big smile 😊 I am very grateful we still had the tour with so few people booked 🙏

Interesting tour with lots of historical and local information presented in a friendly and cheerful manner.This guide was obviously a well known and liked member of the local community

Entertaining and informative. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed learning from his first hand experience of running with the bulls. The men in the group appreciated his patient teaching of the game Jai lai. We would have liked more historical details of the city, but did enjoy hearing about his life there.

Excellent walking tour with Gus, very knowledgeable, friendly, informative and fun, beyond expectations, we highly recommend it. Thank you very much Guru Gus!

5-Star Review for Gustavo’s Free Walking Tour in Pamplona (GuruWalk) Title: Outstanding Tour with the Passionate Gus – One of the Best Guides Ever! I absolutely love taking guided tours whenever I travel, and my experience today in Pamplona with Gustavo (Gus) from GuruWalk was truly exceptional – easily one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! Gus led us on a fantastic walk all around the beautiful old town of Pamplona, sharing fascinating insights into the city’s rich history and vibrant culture. We learned so much about the area, and his explanations of the famous Running of the Bulls (Encierro) during San Fermín were incredibly engaging. What made it even more special is that Gus has personally run with the bulls four times – his enthusiasm and firsthand stories brought the tradition to life in a way no one else could. As if that wasn’t enough, Gus is also a Jai Alai player, and he took us to a spot where he demonstrated the sport and even let us try playing it ourselves. It was such a unique, hands-on experience that added so much fun to the tour! I’ve never met a guide with so much genuine passion, energy, and love for his city and its traditions. Gus’s warmth and knowledge made the whole group feel like we were exploring Pamplona with a knowledgeable friend. I give Gus an A++ and highly, highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting Pamplona. If you’re looking for an unforgettable introduction to this amazing city, book with Gus – you won’t be disappointed!

My mother and I were visiting for a short time and the best time touring the city with Gus. He took us to so many great places and was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. He also taught us how to play jai alai!

Gus is incredible! I have been in Pamplona for 4 months and anytime I have a vistor I send them to Gus! He's the best

Incredible tour! Gus knows the city like the back of his hand, and his enthusiasm is infectious. One of the best city tours I've ever taken. Definitely recommend!

This was a quirky experience! I recommend it.

Great tour. My son loved learning jailai at the end. So much fun and lots of great history to soak up.

Gus was great! Excellent orientation to Pamplona. Loved his enthusiasm and authentic expression explanation about the running of the bulls, Jai Alai, and the city.

Pamplona Walking Tour: One will feel the strong & proud spirit of Basque people when joining Gus for a day tour of this Magnificent city of Pamplona. Gus, who actually is a professional Jai alai athlete shares engrossing stories, from the viewpoint of a local, covering Basque history, culture, religion even food, & sports. What's Unique with Gus is, one gets an inside perspective of the famed Pamplona Running with the bulls, as Gus has 1st hand experience in this Run. The tour experience is highly informative and funny at the same time only Gus can deliver. --- Karlo & Emilyn de Marcaida/ Nov 2025

Gustavo is a great guide and he had showed us the real heart of Pamplona with a wonderful sense of humor. The best tour guide we ever had.

Gus is entertaining and engaging

We had a great time with Gus! He was so informative on not only the points he had ready but could answer any of our questions, even those that might not have been relevant to our topic. His personality is funny and positive, I had a great time getting to know him and learning about Pamplona.
