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!

This tour made our day, we made friends. At the end of the tour we said cheers over a fabulous vesper martini my first ever. I recommend this guide and would forever be in his honour for showing us the way through what would otherwise be a concrete jungle. Congratulations. I'm so grateful and thanks!

Join the Free James Bond Tour in London and step into the shoes of the world’s most famous spy. Explore Westminster, uncover some of the most iconic locations from the James Bond films and draw parallels between fantasy and reality as you learn about the fascinating life of Bonds’ creator, Ian Fleming. This tour is a must for dedicated Bond fans as well as curious visitors. Most tours will begin around Westminster Bridge. From here you’ll be able to see the SIS Building, the real-life headquarters of the SIS, still very much intact after coming under attack in both “The World is Not Enough” and “Skyfall”. Here you will learn more about the history of the British Secret Service.

The iconic Westminster Bridge and the Thames River have been the scene of several famous Bond boat chases. Here you’ll have the chance to learn about some of the film processes that brought them to life! Other memorable film locations you will visit include the National Gallery and the Old War Office, which featured in “Skyfall”, “License to Kill”, and “Octopussy”. Pass by the Corinthia Hotel, used as an inspiration for the MI6 headquarters in the James Bond comic strip and the location of the Skyfall press conference. Along the way, your guide will fill you in on some of the many Easter eggs snuck into the films in a nod to the original books. Even devoted fans will be surprised by some of them!

Take a few detours along the way to delve into the life of Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, who spent the Second World War working in Naval Intelligence and built his own team of super spies along the way! On the James Bond Free Tour in London, you will swing by the Ministry of Defense to learn about the Secret Service’s real “C”, Mansfield Cumming, the first director of the Secret Intelligence Service, and more in a fun, entertaining stroll that will absolutely captivate you! During the tour, please feel free to ask your guide as many questions as you wish. And, of course, all the guests will come away with lots of tips and recommendations for the rest of their stay… maybe even where to find a Martini shaken, not stirred.
