To celebrate 60 years of 007, Black Tomato will offer 60 private trips on a new multi-country European "assignment". Working in collaboration with the James Bond team, including some of the location scouts, the trip will pay homage to 007’s style, featuring the backdrops of some of his most memorable scenes.
Full details of the itinerary will be announced in March 2023. The experience will start in London, famed as being the home of Bond, and will feature arts, culture and action. Guests can expect cars, yachts, helicopters and iconic train journeys, alongside high octane adventures and experiences.
The tour will include a trip to the Chateau de Chantilly, which featured in 1985’s A View to a Kill as the lavish estate of villain Max Zorin. Guests will enjoy a private tour and meet jockeys, trainers and thoroughbreds at the Race Horse Training Centre, before joining a horse riding adventure through Chantilly Forest, spotting locations used in the film.
An adventure in Lake Como will take in scenes from several James Bond films, including spotting the home of Spectre agent Mr. White from a seaplane and exploring the Villa del Balbianello, which features in Casino Royale.
Black Tomato co-founder Tom Marchant said: “It’s part of Black Tomato’s DNA to take inspiration from other cultural phenomenon outside of the traditional travel space and to have the opportunity to work with arguably the biggest film franchise of all time is a huge privilege and special milestone for the company.”

Ali James, the location manager for Spectre, said Black Tomato has “storytelling at the heart of their brand”. She added: “Having had the privilege of scouting international locations on Spectre I know first-hand how destinations play a pivotal role in the production process of the James Bond films. It’s been a pleasure to see Black Tomato’s vision for transporting travellers into the world of 007 so that people can experience Bond’s rich travel history for themselves.”
