Ever wanted to know what it’s like to live the life of James Bond? Well, now you can thanks to a new travel experience that will allow aspiring wannabe secret agents to partake in 007-like activities to celebrate James Bond’s 60th anniversary.
Bespoke travel company Black Tomato has partnered with EON Productions to create “The Assignment,” a special tour that recreates iconic moments in James Bond’s history for thrill-seeking travelers. According to Black Tomato’s website, the trip starts in London and travelers will make their way to France, then Monaco, and will be finishing off in Italy. Travelers have the option to either customize their itinerary or take part in a pre-planned 12-night assignment.
While this trip does sound exciting, it does not come cheap. According to The Hollywood Reporter, pricing starts at $18,500 per person, and sadly, this doesn’t include airfare. That is the price to pay for a trip that’s not only inspired by the iconic secret agent, but a European adventure filled with special effects, stunts, and special access to certain locations.
James Bond was first introduced in 1953 by Ian Fleming. He was a fictional British Secret Service Agent, and the character was adapted through numerous books, radio shows, comic strips, and films since the author’s death. The character’s impact on British pop culture was recognised when the character (played by Daniel Craig) made an entrance with Queen Elizabeth during the 2012 London Olympics.
Black Tomato is only offering 60 spots for this one-of-a-kind James Bond experience, so if you want to know more, run, don’t walk, to their website for more information.
