As a huge James Bond fan (Daniel Craig’s version is the best since Sean Connery), I thought the themed tours offered by Theme Party People and GLOBUS TOURS were right up any Bond Girl’s alley.
The exclusive 11-day bus and train tour takes you through Italy, Switzerland, and France, highlight sites that were made famous in the Bond movies.
Daniel Craig filming Casino Royale in Venice
Here are just a few of the stops planned:
- Venice – Seen in Casino Royale and Moonraker
- Cortina – Seen in For Your Eyes Only
- Locarno – Goldeneye and Goldfinger
- Lake Como – Casino Royale
- Interlaken – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
- Geneva – Goldfinger
- Paris – A View to A Kill, Moonraker and Thunderball
The full itinerary lists the details of each stop, along with the tours, activities and sights at each location.
The tour starts August 21st, 2010, with an overnight flight to Venice, and and finishes up September 1st in Paris. Optional add-on stays are available or you can fly home from Paris.
The tour cost is $3,995 per person, based on double occupancy, and includes luxury accommodations (including all hotel taxes, service charges, taxes, and tips to porters and hotel staff), ground transportation in Europe, some meals (10 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 cocktails receptions, and 3 dinners), tour sightseeing (including admissions), and a multi-lingual tour director.
Items not included in tour charge: Airfare, airport taxes and fees, meals and sightseeing not included in itinerary, personal expenditures, tips for driver, tour director, and local guides. These expenses will add up quickly, so be sure to budget for them.
The tour is not for the budget-minded, but it is an opportunity to cavort like the rich and famous ala Mr. Bond. It’s almost enough to make you feel like you have a license to kill.
