Bucket List Events Reviews 

Conner and his staff where so helpful and knowledge about the Running of Bulls Event. They made it special with tips, stories and history behind the event. They even carried drinks for the whole group to bull fights where it was very warm and much appreciated. I would not trust anyone else for this once in lifetime experience. We had a blast and everything was so amazing. Our view from the balconies in deadmans curve were spectaular to view and the hostess treated us to a special Spanish breakfast! 6 stars!!

Our group of four—two seasoned couples—just had the most unforgettable adventure with BLE at the 2025 Running of the Bulls.
From the moment we landed, BLE had us on a beautifully orchestrated schedule that somehow managed to feel like both VIP treatment and a laid-back vacation. Walking tour? Check. VIP balcony views for the opening ceremony? Yes, and we felt like royalty—minus the crown but plus sangria. And yes, we ran with the bulls… twice! (Bucket List item? Checked so hard it’s got a dent.)
Let’s just say the bulls weren’t the only ones running—we were running on excitement, laughter, and a steady supply of tapas. The dinners? Chef’s kiss. The bullfight? Intense and unforgettable. The hotel? Perfectly placed—close enough to walk, far enough for some peace (and naps).

Honestly, it’s clear BLE knows what they’re doing—this definitely wasn’t their first rodeo. The Bucket List team was with us every step (and sprint) of the way, making sure we were safe, smiling, and soaking in every moment. Big ol’ shoutout to the BLE crew—you rock!

If you’re reading this, you’re probably deep in research mode. Well, you can officially stop Googling. We used to think the Running of the Bulls was just for thrill-seeking dudes—but surprise! We gals had the time of our lives. We met amazing people: couples young and… distinguished, sisters on an epic girls’ trip, Aussies, Europeans, solo adventurers—you name it. The energy, the crowd, the culture—it’s like nothing else on Earth.

We’ve been fortunate to travel the world, and this trip is firmly in our top tier. Totally worth every penny—for the memories, the peace of mind, and the epic stories we’ll be telling at dinner parties for years.

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful couple of days at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona Spain with the Bucket List Event team. 20 years ago I attended with my brother and we had a nice time, but this trip was over the top. The Bucket List team took care of every detail and I can say the exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We are now trying to decide what is our next adventure with this first class organization. Thank you Toby and team.

It was a hassle free experience. Booking was easy and Toby was available for questions over the phone. Once we made it to Pamplona, staff was friendly, everything was very well organized and timely. Very experienced and fun crew. I want to do this again!!!!

We recently attended this year's San Fermin festival and Running with the Bulls in Pamplona with Bucket List Events. The experience was better than expected. The team is always professional and the fun is always abundant! This is the second trip we've done with Bucket List Events and I'm not sure which was better, Running with the Bulls or Oktoberfest as they were both trips of a lifetime!

It was my first time to go to the Kentucky Derby and it was amazing!! Thank you so much to Ben, who was our coordinator. He answered all our questions and anticipated many of them with great detailed instructions. We did the add on excursion of visiting a horse farm and bourbon distillery and I’m so glad we did. Also, the Barnstable Brown party on Friday night was so fun and derby was perfect!!
This was one of the best experiences of my life. It was my first derby, but definitely not my last!! Make sure you use these guys to plan your trip. It will be first class all the way!!

Our Kentucky Derby experience was perfect. It started with setting up the trip. Brian made it easy and gave many helpful suggestions. Then Ben took over in Louisville. Welcoming us on Thursday and making sure we had everything we needed. Derby Day went off without a hitch. Ben made sure we knew what to expect at the track and later checked on us at our box to assure all was well. We asked for everything when we planned this trip and Bucket List Events delivered. We would not hesitate to use Bucket List Events for any of our adventures.

Our Kentucky Derby weekend couldn’t have been more perfect! The accommodations were great, the horse farm and bourbon distillery tours were an absolute blast, and the Barnstable party was one of the best we’ve ever been to. It was a weekend full of fun, laughter, and memories we’ll never forget.

We booked the Kentucky Derby through Ben at Bucket List events this year and had an absolutely amazing time. Everything went flawlessly and smooth from start to finish. Ben and his crew made sure every detail was perfect and that made the Derby for us truly a bucket list event that will never be forgotten.

Our experience with Ben and Bucketlist at the Kentucky Derby was absolutely amazing! Ben’s attention to detail was commendable. This experience exceeded all of expectations! Everything was planned, well thought out and executed.
We made many friends. Mike was a fabulous tour guide! Fun! Although a Bucket List item- I can’t wait to donor again 😄!

Bucket List experience was great on all levels. Our clubhouse seats were perfect and as promised - great view of finish, covered, comfortable. We loved the additional tours at stable and distillery. Transportation was also efficient and easy. But the best part was the service provided by Ben and the team. His ability to troubleshoot, go beyond the call and pivot with weather conditions is second to none. This is my second experience with BL and I will return for other great events.

The Kentucky Derby has always been on my personal bucket list. My wife bundled my birthday, Christmas present, and our anniversary to send me to the Derby, using Bucket List Events. My experience was FIRST CLASS! Ben was wonderful and horse farm and bourbon tours were excellent. If you have anything on your bucket list, use this company!

My wife and I used them for a Masters trip and our experience was great! The entire team was extremely helpful, attentive and fun to be around. I would not hesitate to use them again for this or any other trip.

Really great experience working with them. They communicated really well and were up front. Honest business, will be using them again for sure!

We had absolutely the best time at the Macy's Day Parade. From beginning to end the entire experience was so well organized, the communication was excellent and the staff were all so helpful. The closer we got to the event I was worried my expectations were too high and we would be disappointed. Our experience exceeded my expectations! We stayed at the W Hotel Times Square, went to see the balloon inflation and watched the floats being assembled, saw The Outsiders and the Rockettes and then seeing the parade while enjoying mimosas and a delicious brunch was better than anything I could have planned for us. We had so much fun we might even do it again!

I went to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade this year and what a great experience! Everything was so well planned. Ben (and the whole team) were so friendly and extremely communicative throughout the experience. I’m looking forward to joining them for the Oktoberfest experience in the future 🍺

Our family including 2 grandchildren ages 4 and 11 went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I can tell you there is no other way to attend the parade than with Bucket List Events. For such a massive event it was well organized and everything just flowed. Our package also included a Rockettes show at Radio City and a Broadway show of our choosing. Our seats for both shows were fantastic. This was definitely a magical trip with our family. Great memories were made!

We enjoyed the Macy’s 2024 Thanksgiving Parade. Everything was wonderful! Brian and Ben were so helpful, even before the trip began! The Rockettes were absolutely spectacular! I would love to do this trip again.

We attended the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as well as, the Rockett’s Christmas Spectacular and a Broadway Play. The entire trip was well planned and top-notch. Ben, Jana, Julie and Rich were there should we need assistance. It was a great experience and we are looking forward to another trip with Bucket List Events!

First class service all the way. Will travel with them again.
