The Experiences

James Bond experiences in Europe

Europe

Europe has set the stage for many of Bond’s most memorable exploits. It’s where 007 made his cinematic debut in Dr. No (1962), and where – in No Time To Die (2021) – he returned for his most recent appearance. You can combine these experiences across the United Kingdom, Austria, Italy, France and beyond, however you prefer.

Vienna City Palace
007 Action: behind the scenes in Vienna
007 Action, an exhilarating exhibition of original costumes and automotive exhibits from the world of 007 – including the Goldfinger (1964) Aston Martin DB5 and the Q Boat from The World Is Not Enough (1999) – will be on display in Vienna, Austria from 7th September. To mark the occasion, we’ve created this new 6-night experience in Austria, where you'll gain Diamond VIP access to the exhibition. Elsewhere, you’ll rove the city’s palaces and gardens featured in The Living Daylights (1987), journey across Lake Altausseer to the hunting lodge from Spectre (2015), and head over to picturesque Bergenz – via the Arlberg Mountains, the backdrop for the ski scenes in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) – for a private tour of the Festspiele, where the opera is hosted in Quantum Of Solace (2008).

Chile, Quantum of Solace, James Bond x Black Tomato
Action in the Atacama
Carved by wind and water, the Martian landscapes of Chile's Atacama Desert are the driest on earth. Standing solitary in its vastness, Paranal Observatory – posing as Hotel Perla de las Dunas – was the perfect hideout for villains Greene and General Medrano in Quantum Of Solace (2008). En route south from Antofagasta, you’ll pass Michilla, the setting of Bond and Greene’s final confrontation, and the Port of Cobija, where Bond and Camille walk battered and bruised through the ruins, before you arrive at Paranal. There, you’ll explore the site with a private guide who’ll share the workings of this far-sighted observatory. That night, you’ll sleep beneath the stars at your own private desert camp.

Aston Martins on Glacier Iceland, James Bond, Black Tomato
Bond’s feats in frozen lands
By snowboard, snowmobile, and helicopter (not forgetting two Aston Martins with rocket launchers), the untamed icescapes of southeast Iceland have been twice traversed by Bond – and in quintessential secret-agent style. Evoking 007’s action-packed escape from billionaire Gustav Graves’ ice palace in Die Another Day (2002), you’ll zipline over jagged blue glaciers and climb the towering frozen walls of Svínafellsjökull – an outlet of the largest ice cap in Europe. We’ll also arrange for you to slalom between floating icebergs on Jökulsárlón lagoon – like those pictured in the opening shot of A View To A Kill (1985) – on a thrilling Zodiac boat journey towards a remote island. There, you’ll sip Bollinger and refuel with a three-course gourmet picnic.

Norway, Black Tomato x James Bond
Stunts and scenes in Norway
A land of untamed wilderness and dramatic fjords, Norway lends itself to adrenaline-pumping escapades of the 007 kind. In No Time To Die (2021), villain Safin chases a young Madeleine Swann across a frozen lake, filmed at Langvann, and Bond himself speeds along the country's outrageously scenic Atlantic Road in a nail-biting car chase with double-agent Logan Ash. You, too, will drive this iconic winding pass en route to a heart-pounding bungee jump down a hydropower dam – reminiscent of Bond’s own bungee in the opening scene of GoldenEye (1995), which was actually filmed in Switzerland. You’ll have well and truly earned secret-agent status by the end.

Dr. No, Jamaica, James Bond
From Ian Fleming’s beachside base
It was at Goldeneye – his home on Jamaica’s paradisical northern coast – that Ian Fleming wrote all twelve of his James Bond novels. It's only fitting that you’ll stay here; sailing out in your yacht to visit Sans Souci, where Bond resides in Live And Let Die (1973), and the Moon Palace Resort – with an original 007-stamped helipad – where the cast and crew based themselves to film Dr. No (1962). Channelling Bond in No Time To Die (2021), you’ll cast a line at Reynolds Pier, which itself starred as Dr No’s secret lair, to catch a matching brace of red snapper. Finally, on Laughing Waters beach – where Honey Ryder steps ashore in Dr. No – you'll enjoy a lavish lobster picnic, a nod to the glamorous gatherings Ian Fleming used to host. We'll also take you to Port Antonio – a much featured backdrop in No Time To Die (2021) – to try the famous jerk chicken at Piggy's, a favorite of the cast and crew.

Bond (Daniel Craig) following Marco Sciarra through the Day of the Dead parade; Tolsa Square, Mexico City, Black Tomato
On assignment in Mexico City
Mexico is magnetic. And it has kept 007 coming back since it first appeared in A License To Kill (1989). But it’s the scenes of Spectre (2015) that’ll take centre stage as you travel by chauffeured Aston Martin – should you wish, accompanied by EON Productions’ location scout Ali James, who worked on the film’s iconic opening. From the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the background to the vibrant Day of the Dead parade Bond joins, to the Zócalo, where Sciarra’s helicopter lands as he seeks to escape with Bond in pursuit – Ali will bring these iconic scenes to life. To really get in on the action, visit during Day of the Dead and experience for yourself the intoxicating procession – made a permanent part of the festivities since featuring in Spectre.

Daniel Craig and Léa Seydoux in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures/Columbia Pictures/EON Productions’ action adventure SPECTRE, Morocco
The secret lairs of the Sahara
Sensorial and seductive in equal measure, it’s no surprise that 007’s escapades have twice led him to Morocco: in The Living Daylights (1987) and Spectre (2015). And now, it’s your turn. Picked up by a private helicopter in Marrakech, you'll fly to Errachidia and onto Erfoud, where a vintage Rolls Royce will await your command. Destined for the same co-ordinates uncovered by Bond and Madeleine Swann inside the hidden room at L’Américain in Spectre, you’ll speed across the sands of the Sahara towards Gara Medouar crater – the filming location of Blofeld’s desert lair. Here, at the hideout of one of Bond's most notorious adversaries, you’ll indulge in a sumptuous Bollinger-infused picnic.

Octopussy, India, James Bond, Black Tomato
Undercover in Udaipur 
In Octopussy (1983), 007 first encounters the film’s eponymous jewel-smuggler at her floating palace in Udaipur, while entourage lounge beside the courtyard lily pond. This luxurious abode – the Taj Lake Palace – is where you’ll stay to trace Bond’s Indian mission. On a fast-paced rickshaw ride, you’ll follow the route of his spectacular escape from villain Kamal Khan, before taking in city views from the Monsoon Palace (used as Khan’s residence). We’ll also reserve the same poolside table shared by Bond and Khan’s henchwoman, Magda, at Shiv Niwas Palace – where you’ll meet a local resident who worked in the Octopussy crew, who’ll regale you with tales from the days of its filming.

Bond and the Bosphorus
Istanbul – spanning both continents and civilizations – has been a 007 “regular” since the early 1960s. You’ll imbibe all the exotic charm that Bond discovered in this ornate city; visiting renowned filming locations of From Russia With Love (1963), passing by the Küçüksu Palace (Elektra’s Baku mansion in The World Is Not Enough, 1999), and taking a private yacht along the Bosphorus toward Maiden’s Tower, where M was held captive by Elektra. As the sun begins to sink (always a sumptuous sight in this historic city), you’ll take it all in by climbing to exclusive panoramic rooftops that featured in a most memorable chase scene in Skyfall (2012). A Vesper martini and the “golden hour” will be yours.

James Bond in Tokyo Japan, You Only Live Twice, Black Tomato
The secret sights and sites of Japan
A three-time 007 location, Japan – with its history of intrigue, technology, and ninjas – is a fitting location for an undercover operative. You’ll have a range of activities at your fingertips, like honing your ninja skills in the gardens of Himeji Castle, portrayed in You Only Live Twice (1967) – donning authentic gear and studying distinctive ninja weapons. You can also join a private guide to explore the city’s iconic filming locations, including Nakano-Shimbashi station (which made an appearance as a secret service base) and Kumano-Nachi Taisha, where 007 got married undercover. Beyond Tokyo, you can travel to the eerie, industrial island of Gunkanjima, embarking on a boat ride around Raoul Silva’s abandoned island lair – as depicted in Skyfall (2012).

Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures/Columbia Pictures/EON Productions’ action adventure SKYFALL, Scotland
Back to Bond’s roots
Ian Fleming was so taken with Scot Sean Connery's portrayal of Bond in Dr. No (1962) that he subsequently gave his character Scottish heritage. Ever since, the tales and triumphs of 007 have been inextricably linked with Scotland’s rugged isles. Kicking off your adventure, you’ll arrive by boat to Eilean Donan Castle, which serves as Thane Castle – the Scottish MI6 base in The World Is Not Enough (1999). Depart by Aston Martin for a scenic drive to the shores of Loch Laggan – as featured in No Time To Die (2021) – for a Bollinger picnic lunch, before continuing to the wild valleys of the Cairngorms. Last, but not least, a helicopter flight up to The Macallan Estate for a private tasting of their finest whiskies – including the 1962 sipped by Raoul Silva in Skyfall (2012).

Thailand, Black Tomato x James Bond
Step inside Bond’s Thailand
Between busy, beeping cities and secluded jungle isles, Thailand has all the compelling contrast needed to set the scene of a 007 film. Bangkok appears most memorably in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) as a stand-in for Ho Chi Minh City during Bond and Wai Lin’s motorbike chase – but also in The Man With The Golden Gun (1974), where Bond and Scaramanga first meet at a Thai boxing night. Inspired by this fateful moment, you’ll take a private Muay Thai boxing masterclass, before spending an evening ringside at Rajadamnern Stadium. Like Bond, you’ll then head south to Phuket to charter your private yacht towards Phang Nga Bay – where Scaramanga famously disappears during his pistol duel with 007 on Khao Phing Kan. Known as ‘James Bond Island’, this location also posed as Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).

Explore Bond's Prague
Czechia provides the backdrop for much of Casino Royale (2006). Framed within a black-and-white flashback, it first appears in the film's opening, when Bond earns his 007 status by dispensing with a local MI6 station chief in Prague. And, in true 007 style, Czechia's sublime medieval capital also appears undercover – posing as London’s Palace of Westminster (shot at Strahov Monastery), and Miami (The Body Worlds exhibition was filmed at the Czech Ministry of Transport). Like Bond, you’ll rove the castles and cathedrals of Prague, before setting off for a private tour of the picturesque cities of Loket and Carlovy Vary, whose Grandhotel Pupp stood in for Casino Royal's Hotel Splendide. Here, you'll dine at 007's table. Naturally.

Aston Martin DB5
A chauffeured tour through James Bond’s London
“The proper function of man is to live, not to exist”. So remarks M, quoting Jack London in No Time To Die (2021). London – the ‘old smoke’ – has made an appearance across countless iterations of 007. To give you the measure of his sometimes home, we’ll escort you around the city in your own chauffeured, 1960s Aston Martin DB5 or Range Rover. Your itinerary? No. 4 Whitehall Court (home to the original MI6), which made an appearance in No Time To Die (2021). You’ll visit the Spring Gardens safehouse where Bond goes to ground with Madeleine Swann (Spectre, 2015), Parliament Street – where he pursued Silva (Skyfall, 2012) – and Vauxhall Cross, the current home of MI6 (which made a memorable appearance in The World Is Not Enough (1999)). Cap things off with a martini at the world-renowned DUKES Bar. And much, much more.

Stuntman training, James Bond x Black Tomato
Take a fall with an official Bond stuntman
In Bond’s merciless world, one must learn to fight – and to fall – with effortless ease. After all, as Scaramanga chillingly declared, this is nothing less than a “duel between titans” (The Man With The Golden Gun, 1974). To prepare you for the life of a secret agent, we have arranged a unique opportunity for a private training session with Lee Morrison – the accomplished stunt coordinator who has worked on the last five Bond films, including the unforgettable Matera chase scene from No Time To Die (2021), which would normally be inaccessible. Together, you’ll perfect the pugilistic arts of falls and fights, all the while hearing anecdotes of how Bond’s most famous escapades were brought to life on the big screen.

Aston Martin James Bond
Under the hood at Aston Martin Works
Q’s contagious enthusiasm is evident when he first introduces the iconic Aston Martin DB5 to Bond in Goldfinger (1964), stating, “now this is one I'm particularly keen about”. The British car manufacturer’s legendary heritage goes back to 1913 and has – for the long life of the franchise – been deeply associated with 007. In this exclusive experience, we’ve arranged for private access to Aston Martin Works – a site that is typically inaccessible to the general public. You’ll go behind the scenes and under the hood of this functioning workshop; seeing – first hand – how their cars are built and painstakingly restored. The DB5 – of course – will take centre stage. “I never joke about my work, 007”, Q concludes.

And to get the measure of 007 yourself, you’ll join a personal stylist and Black Tomato guide on a sartorial tour of London's St. James; a district that embodies the classic, vigorous glamour of Bond. Each of the stores – including N.Peal, Lock & Co., Turnbull & Asser, Crockett & Jones, and Floris – have close relationships with the Bond films, holding special collections and signature items to peruse. This includes pieces that have appeared in the movies themselves – including items inspired by the films: from the shirt worn by 007 in Dr. No (1962), ties inspired by Tomorrow Never Dies (1995), and shoes custom-made for Bond in Skyfall (2012). At each location, you will be hosted by the store’s representatives – all of whom have supreme knowledge of 007’s wardrobe.

Drawing on his pipe, M puts it bluntly: “if you carry a 00 number, it means you’re licensed to kill – not get killed”. For Bond, this has always meant finding the right tool for the job – be it a suitcase with hidden compartments or a watch with ingeniously unexpected properties, or a weapon disguised as a camera. In a fashion befitting Q Branch we’ve arranged ultra-exclusive access to handle these iconic props – an exclusive to Black Tomato.

On this hush-hush expedition, you’ll be accompanied by our own ‘man in Venice’. He’ll lead you through the city; mapping the scenes and sights most closely associated with 007 – from key moments to filming locations including St Mark’s Square and Piazetta del Leoncini.

The city – as movie backdrop and a site of living history – will come to life around you.

A serene gondola tour of Bond’s Venice, Black Tomato x 007
A serene gondola tour of Bond’s Venice
Just as there is no Bond without a tuxedo, there is no Venice without its gondolas. Fortuitously, these two worlds collided in From Russia With Love (1963) – when 007 shared an intimate moment with the beautiful Tatiana Romanova just before the credits rolled. Like them, you’ll sedately navigate the city’s labyrinthine canals; passing the Bridge of Sighs and the Piazza san Marco. Things got much bumpier in Moonraker (1979), where Bond converted his gondola into a hovercraft in order to evade his pursuers. Your experience will be altogether more harmonious.

Belmond Hotel Cipriani intimate dinner
A Venetian dinner befitting of Bond
You would be hard-pressed to count the exquisite meals Bond has enjoyed over the years. His sophisticated palate is well-known, as evidenced by his indulgence in Beluga caviar which he savours in Thunderball (1965), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), and Casino Royale (2006). That’s why we’ll work with you to create your ideal, 007-themed bespoke menu drawing on painstaking research through the archives and prop menus. Over the decades Bond ate stone crab, steak Diane, crème caramel. The works. Now it’s your turn at the illustrious Hotel Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel. Choose from the 360-views of its rooftop (The Altana) or the private Casanova gardens. You’ll have the option for a private photographer to capture the splendour – in addition to a Bond music recital to provide a fitting 007 soundtrack while you dine. Spare a thought for Moneypenny, whom Bond – as she observes in Dr. No (1962) – has never taken to dinner.

A fiery dinner on the island of glass
It was on the island of Murano that Bond battled Chang, his bitter adversary in Moonraker (1979), with only the precious Copa Barovier standing between them. In the film it was destroyed. In reality it still lives. Like Bond, we’ll take you to Venice’s most storied island to view this historic piece of material culture before sitting down for a once-in-a-lifetime dinner at a working glass factory – your table ringed by billowing forges and machinery. During this incomparable dinner, master artisans will work their delicate craft around you. Ultimately, this unforgettable dining experience simply cannot be arranged by the public and is exclusive to Black Tomato.

Sail into the Venetian sunset, Black Tomato x 007
Sail into the Venetian sunset
Few will forget Bond and Vesper’s glamorous sailboat entrance to Venice with the sun high and the lagoon glittering with golden fire in the final act of Casino Royale (2006). In appropriate fashion, we’ll take you on a vintage yacht cruise out onto the waters – exploring the lesser-known and more secluded corners of this legendary region, including Pallestrina, Poveglia, Sant’Erasmo, and Torcello. While there are boats aplenty on the lagoon, few are as majestic – few will take our more adventurous and under-the-radar routing. As Bond languorously enquires in The Man With The Golden Gun (1974): “How’s the water?” We think, sublime.

Benedetto Marcello Conservatory of Venice
The music of Bond: a rousing rendition
The 17th century courtyard of the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory of Music provided a lustrous backdrop to Casino Royale (2006), and it is here – for one unforgettable moment – that we will bring the music of 007 to glorious life. Joining the Conservatory’s Director, you will enjoy an extremely rare, private tour of the historic Conservatory (founded in 1876) before soaking up a private courtyard performance by the students of Venice’s most esteemed musical establishment. They will give a rousing rendition of the “total entertainment” – as Bond composer John Barry described it – that has provided all the verve and swagger which we so closely associate with 007. From Diamonds Are Forever to Nobody Does It Better, this will provide a moving crescendo to your day in Venice – the ‘queen of the Adriatic’.

Solden First Tracks skiing experience
Make first tracks from the summit of Gaislachkogl
Bond's adoration for the Austrian Alps is widely known, with the mighty Gaislachkogl mountain taking centre stage in Spectre (2015). This is precisely where we’ve curated an invigoratingly cinematic day that will celebrate Bond’s mastery of all things alpine. Arranged exclusively for Black Tomato, you’ll travel to the mountain's summit by snow-groomer – long before the lifts open to the public – to toast the empty slopes with a glass of Bollinger. Now, you’ll make first tracks down the mountain – from red to blue. As you descend, you’ll pass the Hoffler Klinik entrance where 007 met Madeleine Swann in Spectre, as well as one of the original Land Rover Defenders featured in the film. As Bond remarked during another notable snowbound encounter, “I came prepared for a cold reception” (The World Is Not Enough, 1999). As should you.

Torre dell'Orologio, Venice, James Bond 007 x Black Tomato
A private ascent of the Torre dell’Orologio
Towering high above the majestic width of St Mark’s Square, the Torre dell’Orologio (constructed in 1496), provided a memorable backdrop for a most eventful encounter between 007 and Chang. The latter met his vertiginous end by plummeting through the face of the clock itself (Moonraker, 1979). “I gave him a time-out", as Bond later quipped. You will ascend the tower in the company of an expert guide who’ll bring the history of this sumptuous landmark to life by explaining precisely how this delicate blue-gold structure was reimagined for the silver screen. Exclusively for Black Tomato, you’ll have the tower entirely to yourself – a rare honour that we’ve curated specifically for this experience.

ice Q 007 ELEMENTS
A private appointment at 007 ELEMENTS & ice Q
Carved high into the summit of Gaislachkogl mountain is the futuristic 'lair' of 007 Elements – a cinematic Bond installation that illuminates precisely how the alpine elements of Spectre (2015) were staged and shot. Typically, visitors experience a self-guided tour, but we’ve arranged for you to be led by Andreas Zunt – the exhibition’s knowledgeable curator. When your tour ends, you’ll pass to neighbouring ‘ice Q’ – a thrillingly-situated restaurant with sweeping views over the surrounding peaks. This building served as the Hoffler Klinik in Spectre (2015), and you’ll have plenty of time to absorb your surroundings over a gourmet four-course lunch. Throughout, you can be joined by Chris Corbould OBE – an acclaimed special effects supervisor who has worked on fifteen James Bond films (Spectre among them).

Solden ski resort valley panorama in winter
Take on the mammoth Big 3 ski challenge
Bond is a regular denizen of the slopes – having slalomed his way through The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and The World Is Not Enough (1999). In honour of his alpine excellence, we’ll set you up with the goal of completing Sölden’s mammoth three peaks challenge: with three peaks towering 3,000m or higher. These will be yours to conquer. Being such an energetic day, we’ve arranged for an exclusive off-piste meal to be set up for you in a remote mountain hüttes. For early risers, we can arrange for you to have ‘first tracks’ access to the slopes.

Helicopter tour of Solden
A spirited flight above the glaciers of Sölden
As much as we associate 007 with the land and sea, he’s had more than a few encounters in the air. Not least his spirited pursuit of the kidnapped Madeleine Swann in Spectre (2015). Taking off from Hochgurgl, you’ll ascend, by helicopter, high above the icy, alpine splendour of the Ötztal Valley – echoing the perilous plane journey Bond himself would make. Beneath you will be the Rettenbach glacier, the winding Ötztal Glacier Road, and the futuristic form of the ice Q restaurant. On your ecstatic return to terra firma, you’ll enjoy a decadent Bollinger picnic in the private lounge: an exclusive to The Assignment.
