INSPIRE ADVENTURES TOP 50 ADVENTURES

Be like Bond LONDON, ENGLAND

James Bond, the iconic not-so-secret agent, is famed for his exhilarating escapades, chasing villains in elegant vehicles and using state-of-the-art gadgets in incredible locations. Experience a breathtaking trip on a private speedboat as you hurtle down the River Thames and see London from a new perspective. Set off on a motorbike tour through London’s twisting streets and secret alleyways, have a shaken-not-stirred martini in the iconic Dukes Hotel (often visited by Ian Fleming himself) and experience a number of historic locations, including the Queen’s official country residence, Windsor Castle. The final stop of the itinerary is the grand Stoke Park, location for two Bond movies: Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies . The majestic country-house hotel is set within 300 acres of rambling green countryside, and a number of scenes from both films were shot within its opulent interior.
