Bond Style!

On arrival at the airport you will be met by your driver guide who will take you to your hotel. If your arrival time permits you will then enjoy an en route panoramic sightseeing tour of the main highlights of the city passing icons of London that have delighted visitors for years – St Paul’s Cathedral, The Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and of course see the architectural splendour along the banks of the River Thames.  After settling in, perhaps dine tonight at the five star Dukes Hotel where Ian Fleming dreamt up the Bond character and there’s no better place to enjoy a pre dinner Martini  – decide for yourself if it should be shaken or stirred! Overnight central London.

Today’s James Bond Tour by typical London taxi passes many London locations which in movies gone by have pretended to be places around the world – the multi storey Hamburg car chase, a square in the centre of London disguised as St Petersburg and a St Petersburg hotel in the capital of England! Also, there’s Ian Fleming’s birthplace and his former home to see. Have lunch in a typical London pub and during the afternoon make your way with your guide to the Millennium Bridge for a speedboat ride down the River Thames. Perhaps enjoy dinner this evening at The Ritz Hotel.   Overnight central London.

Travel south to visit The National Motor Museum in Beaulieu which houses a wonderful collection of vehicles including many James Bond cars and props. After lunch visit Sunseeker International Ltd, the world famous yacht manufacturer located in Poole Harbour. In the Quantum of Solace, Bond drives a Sunseeker replica vintage 1960s Motor Yacht.  Return to London for a dinner at famous fish restaurant Scotts, a favourite eating house of James Bond author Ian Fleming. Overnight in central London

Today will be very unusual – in the morning you will be transferred to the Spy Academy for a half day’s exciting activities for anyone with the ambition to be a secret agent. You’ll be shown by experts how to use specialist surveillance equipment such as cameras, bugs, and radios,fire machine guns in the Close Quarter Battle area, apply precision shooting, try your skill at axe throwing and receive some expert instruction on pistol draw techniques.  After lunch travel back to London for a visit to the Imperial War Museum. Dinner at Hush – a very popular restaurant co-founded by Bond film star Roger Moore.     Overnight central London

In the morning visit the famous Silverstone Circuit, for many years home to the British F1 Grand Prix. Here enjoy something you’ll never forget – a half day Ferrari Experience with instruction and the chance to drive a Ferrari 360 F1™ or, if you prefer, Bond’s own marque Aston Martin. Just feel that Bond speed!  After lunch return to London. Free afternoon. Dinner at the hotel. Overnight central London.

Half day London sightseeing including a “flight” on the London Eye and a visit to Westminster Abbey. Have a relaxing traditional pub lunch and then an afternoon at leisure to enjoy as you wish.   This evening enjoy the best entertainment that the West End has to offer. You will be collected from your hotel for transfer to a pre-theatre dinner followed by a top London Show! At the end of the evening your driver will return you to your hotel for overnight.   Overnight central London

The day is free for last minute shopping and sightseeing – maybe time for some shopping(or window shopping!) on exclusive Bond Street  before return transfer to the airport.
