Following the success of the inaugural 2023 launch, experiential travel company Black Tomato has once again partnered with EON Productions – the company behind the entire James Bond film franchise – to launch a series of 007-inspired itineraries.
Joining the existing five trips, 13 new experiences have been unveiled, this time expanding beyond the confines of Europe to visit global destinations linked to the fictional British spy.
For example, The Secret Sights and Sites of Japan takes cues from You Only Live Twice (1967) with a visit to Himeji Castle, as well as a boat ride to the industrial Gunkanjima island, which featured as Raoul Silva’s lair in Skyfall (2013).

Other new Black Tomato James Bond itineraries include an immersive trip to Jamaica, where Ian Fleming famously penned all 12 novels; an Indian odyssey inspired by Octopussy’s (1983) notorious jewel smuggler; and a Bond bonanza through Thailand. Naturally, in true Bond style, accommodations in each location are the height of luxury.
Each trip will also feature exclusive insights and access, from tours with EON Production’s location scout to firsthand tales from original crew members. Guests will also receive original call sheets, bespoke filming location documents and exclusive Globe–Trotter luggage – the same brand that 007 himself used.

And, in line with Black Tomato’s famously bespoke take on luxury travel, the new itineraries are designed with utmost flexibility, and can be tagged on to other pre-made Black Tomato journeys or even conjoined to create one mega, around-the-world James Bond-themed trip.
For example, Mexico City, London, Italy, Solden in Austria and Morocco can all be visited in one meticulously planned itinerary to follow the same path that Daniel Craig’s Bond traveled in Spectre (2015).

“With the global set-jetting trend at its peak and acting on this growing desire for Bond trips beyond Europe, now feels apt to expand our library of extraordinary 007-inspired journeys,” says Black Tomato co-founder, Tom Marchant. “We receive inquiries every week from travelers seeking to plan a trip specifically inspired by locations they’ve seen on screen and a desire to travel in this way accounts for around 10% of client inquiries.”
