From Russia With Love to Skyfall - Live Your Own Bond Adventure

For the past several years, one the highlights of my James Bond fandom has consisted of taking the amazing tours organized by Theme Party People. As a part of these tours, I've been able to visit Bond locations ranging from luxurious French chateaus to Piz Gloria, Blofeld's mountain hideaway. I've been to filming locales not accessible to the general public, such as the "Doctor No" bauxite mine and the Coral Harbour Hotel from "Thunderball."

For next year, Theme Party People Tours promises to outdo itself, with "Operation Euro2013, The Istanbul Venetian Affair," a tour that will cover locations from some of the most popular Bond films. We meet on June 29 in Istanbul, an amazing city that has hosted three Bond films. We'll stroll the Grand Bazaar and Topkapi Palace, follow Bond's footsteps as he stalks an assassin in the Hagia Sophia, visit the underground cisterns, sail to the Maiden's Tower from TWINE, and see the filming locales from "Skyfall." And there's more!

From Istanbul, we fly to Vienna, a breathtaking city, where we'll see the Prater Park from "The Living Daylights" and the classic film "The Third Man." We'll see several other filming sights from TLD before heading on to Prague, Czech Republic. In addition to locations from "Casino Royale" (including an exclusive tour of the library of the Strahov Monastery and Church, where M realizes how much she misses the Cold War), we'll visit spots from several other popular films. The focus on "Casino Royale" will continue as we visit Karlovy Vary, to see the buildings that stood in for the Hotel Splendide and the Casino itself.

Our itinerary next takes us to the beautiful cities of Munich, Innsbruck, and Cortina, with Cortina featuring numerous locations from "For Your Eyes Only." Finally, we travel to Venice, a magical city, entering by private boat. We'll see locations from the films "From Russia With Love," "Moonraker," and "Casino Royale."

Without a doubt, this tour will be an unforgettable experience, with top class travel and accomodations, fun, great food, and "bonding" with a knowledgeable, friendly group of Bond fans from all over the world. As always, interest in these tours runs high, so don't delay. You'll find further information and booking details at http://themepartypeople.com/site

I hope you'll join us for a remarkable experience. Remember, "the whole thing's so fantastic, it just could be . . . true!"

Sounds like a bloody good time, but I don't have Auric Goldfinger's bank account (or even his gold Rolls).

These are great tours. I've done several and never failed to have a fantastic time.
