The adventure starts with your arrival into London where you’ll be transported, by private Range Rover, to your base of operations: the magnificent Corinthia London hotel. From here, you will embark on your first assignment – an exhilarating pursuit down the River Thames; boarding the very same Superhawk 34 piloted by Cigar Girl in The World Is Not Enough (1999) – sailing past the sights that have played a role in so many Bond films.

Day 4 and 5 will be spent in Paris, basing yourself at the opulent Hôtel de Crillon. You will have ultra-exclusive access to the illustrious Bollinger Estate, tour their vineyards and descend into the fabled 1829 Reserve, a rarely-seen home to 3,000 magnums.

5th day will be spent at the Château de Chantilly. Making similar entry to the home of France’s most exclusive horse-training centre as Bond in John Smythe in A View To A Kill (1985) and spend the day exploring these inimitable grounds by horseback or carriage, dine at Auberge du Jeu de Paume, and explore the inner workings of the Great Stables, meeting former jockeys and trainers, before heading to Monaco.

In the next leg of the Assignment, speed is of the essence. Arrive at the glorious Côte d’Azur on your private helicopter, settle for the night at the magnificent Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo. The next day celebrate Bond’s maritime legend with a private yacht charter along the resplendent Côte d’Azur, dine at the exquisite La Réserve de la Mala. Returning to land, you’ll spend a high-stakes evening at the renowned Casino de Monte-Carlo.

Your next destination will be the golden shores of Lake Como, you’ll travel here in style, driving in your own full-throttled Aston Martin V8 Vantage and stay at the magnificent Passalaqua – a renovated, 18th century former abode of the Italian aristocracy. All whilst turning these glamorous waters into your private playground with experiences such as seaplane, that will arc and yaw high above the lake. Landing upon the waters with an elegant glide, you’ll take a private water-ski lesson.

The journey continues from Lake Como to the immensely captivating city of Venice, where a speedboat will bring you to the vibrant island of Murano, known for its exquisite glassware. Bond and Chang squared off here beside the illustrious Coppa Barovier in the 1979 film Moonraker. A gourmet candlelight meal at the Nason Moretti glass plant will round off the evening; this experience is 100% exclusive and cannot be reserved.
