Hello walker! My name is Iñaki, professional guide (registration number GA-4901) with a degree in history and writer of historical novels, native of Pamplona with experience in Navarre, Scotland and Rome. As a fan of the eternal city and its history, I offer a unique experience in which you feel like a soldier parading through its streets, a senator ready to give his speech or Bernini himself planning his next project to overshadow Borromini, his eternal rival. even visit the place where Julius Caesar was assassinated...

Tour description

The capital of the old kingdom has stood proud for centuries and its streets keep secrets that only the true Pamplonicans know. Discover the first Basques who founded it, watch the arrival of the Roman legions, fight against the Franks and Visigoths, follow in the footsteps of the kings who established the kingdom of Navarre and the knights who defended it, listen to the echoes of wars and revolts, accompany Heminway in his excursions and outrages in San Fermin, and lastly, tie your red scarf around your neck, roll up your newspaper, adjust the laces of your shoes and... immerse yourself in the route of the running of the bulls hand in hand with a runner. Hear the clamor of the people, the rumor of the herd approaching, make your way, place yourself on the antlers, listen to the rumble of the hooves and the snorts of the horned ones behind you...! and retire after the race to make way for the other runners! You dare?
I wait for you in old Iruñea
