Black Tomato has unveiled a series of James Bond-inspired experiences after being named the official travel partner of the film series’ UK-based production company EON Production.

The collection will feature 60 limited-edition bookable private trips which will “bring to life 007’s film adventures” and enable travellers to “follow in Bond’s footsteps” as the film franchise celebrates its 60^th anniversary.  

The experiences will be available for purchase later this year, with full details of the itinerary announced next March. 

Black Tomato said the inaugural journey would be set in Europe to “pay homage to 007’s imitable style and excellence, enveloping many memorable scenes”. Starting in London, it will span arts and culture, action and adventure, with cars, yachts, helicopters and iconic train journeys featuring throughout.

The travel company said it would be working in “close collaboration” with the James Bond team, including some of their most long-standing location scouts. 

Black Tomato co-founder Tom Marchant said: “We’re incredibly honoured to be working with the James Bond team in this first of its kind travel partnership for the 007 brand. It’s part of Black Tomato’s DNA to take inspiration from other cultural phenomenon outside of the traditional travel space and to have the opportunity to work with arguably the biggest film franchise of all time is a huge privilege and special milestone for the company. 

“Curious by nature, it was important for us to take an inquisitive approach to this collaboration and in bringing to life the James Bond world, and we can’t wait to introduce this initial bold and breath-taking new itinerary to clients and discerning fans.” 

Ali James, location manager of the 2015 film Spectre, added: “I am thrilled to partner with the creative travel minds at Black Tomato, who have storytelling at the heart of their brand and have proven expertise in bringing iconic stories and literary adventures to life. Having had the privilege of scouting international locations on Spectre I know first-hand how destinations play a pivotal role in the production process of the James Bond films. 

“It’s been a pleasure to see Black Tomato’s vision for transporting travellers into the world of 007 so that people can experience Bond’s rich travel history for themselves.”
