If you\'re a James Bond fan or you are interested in espionage, this walking tour is an absolute must-do! It was led by an incredibly knowledgeable guide Ben. It was not only about locations from james bond films. We also learned a lot from the history of espionage that inspired James Bond series.
Ben was excellent, he had knowledge of both the Bond films and the real-world espionage events that influenced them, it was truly impressive. It felt like we had our own personal MI6 agent leading us through the streets, unraveling the secrets and stories behind the films and the spy world 😊
Throughout the tour, we were treated to a wealth of fascinating information. From the Cold War era to modern intelligence techniques, Ben expertly wove historical facts into the Bond narrative.
Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly involved and passionate about his job. It was evident that he loved sharing his expertise with us.
We have been to 3 tours this summer, all of them fantastic, but this one is an absolute winner. Highly recommended!
