You know the elements that make a Bond movie irresistible: sleek cars, breathtaking locations, glittering jewels, high-stakes espionage and the right touch of romance — all best enjoyed with a martini, stirred not shaken. Fans of 007 will appreciate a new series of private, 007-inspired travel experiences that celebrate the franchise’s most dazzling settings. Curated by U.K. and U.S.-based Black Tomato in collaboration with British luxury travel brand Globe-Trotter (official partner of EON Productions), the collection offers immersive journeys designed to echo Bond’s signature style and adventure.
“We’re incredibly honored to be working with the James Bond team in this first-of-its-kind travel partnership for the 007 brand,” said Tom Marchant, co-founder of Black Tomato. “Taking inspiration from major cultural phenomena sits at the heart of what we do, and collaborating with one of the most iconic film franchises of all time is a real privilege and milestone for our company. Curious by nature, we approached this project inquisitively to bring the James Bond world to life, and we can’t wait to introduce this bold, breath-taking initial itinerary to clients and discerning fans.”

Timed to mark the 60th anniversary of James Bond, the program features 60 limited-edition trips developed with input from a team that includes experienced Bond location scouts. Each journey aims to offer a luxurious, immersive plunge into the world of Bond, drawing on authentic film locations and insider knowledge.
Full itineraries and additional details will be released in March, but here are a few highlights to spark your wanderlust:
Behind the Scenes at Chantilly
Travel from Paris to the idyllic Chantilly countryside, home to the Château de Chantilly, which stood in for the fictional estate of villain Max Zorin in A View to a Kill (1985). The itinerary includes a guided horseback ride through Chantilly Forest, exclusive access to Les Aigles racetrack with a private tour, and a meet-and-greet with professional jockeys and trainers. Guests will also take a guided tour of the château and its film locations for a behind-the-scenes look at this storied setting.

A Lake Como Adventure
On Lake Como, guests can water-ski from a private hotel dock before boarding a seaplane for aerial views over Bellagio and Varenna en route to Villa La Gaeta, the lakeside home of Mr. White in Licence to Kill (1989). Back on the water, travelers will cruise in a classic Riva boat with Champagne Bollinger, then visit Villa del Balbianello for a private tour of locations featured in Casino Royale (2006). This itinerary blends adrenaline, elegance and cinematic history in equal measure.
Monaco by Night
Guests will enjoy VIP access to the Casino de Monte-Carlo, a key location in GoldenEye (1995). The experience includes entry to an exclusive private gambling room typically closed to the public, plus lessons in the casino game of your choice so you can try your luck with confidence.
“I am thrilled that EON Productions are partnering with the creative travel minds at Black Tomato, who have storytelling at the heart of their brand and have proven expertise in bringing iconic stories and literary adventures to life,” said Ali James, location manager. “Having had the privilege of scouting international locations on Spectre, I know firsthand how destinations influence the James Bond films. It’s been a pleasure to see Black Tomato’s vision for transporting travelers into the world of 007 so people can experience Bond’s rich travel history for themselves.”

Booking one of the exclusive trips includes a Globe-Trotter attaché case and requires a purchase in increments of $10,000. Each bespoke attaché arrives with a trip voucher redeemable against the actual itinerary once full details are published. If your schedule doesn’t align with the revealed itinerary, the amount can be refunded or applied to another Black Tomato expedition. Every attaché case is finished with a discreet commemorative metal plaque displaying the case number and its corresponding trip number (for example, 001 of 060). The design features black, silver and gold dots that pay tribute to the iconic opening title sequences, celebrating six decades since Dr. No (1962) first launched the franchise.
