Day 1
Incorporating only the best vehicles, boats and helicopters, you can channel your inner 007 on a curated British adventure with Vesperience, which takes in the best of London’s city and countryside, glamorous cars, sophisticated stays and oh-so exclusive Michelin-starred private dining. James Bond wouldn’t have it any other way.
Your Bond journey begins in London, where staff will escort you to Coworth Park, a late 18th-century country house.With enticing spas and saunas, you can settle into your accommodation and hit the relax button, enjoying an evening filled with drinks and dinner prepared by world-renowned chefs at the two AA ranking rosette restaurant.
Day 2
Starting off the second day with a proper English breakfast, it’s time to get behind the wheel of a supercar. After a briefing with the Motor Experience Director, you will be introduced to a bevy of beauties certain to make any automobile aficionado feverish with desire.
The range includes the Aston Martin DB9, a finely-tuned piece of English machinery boasting a 299 km/h top speed as well as reaching 0-97 km/h in 4.7 seconds. Then there’s the McLaren MP4, now simply known as the McLaren 12C, with an impressive V8 engine which sits inside a featured carbon fiber composite chassis. Wrapping up the selection of hair whipping fun is the Bentley Continental GT Speed. Unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it is described as the successor to the older model; the GT Speed now has increased engine power, an entirely new design, and incorporated new technologies developed by Bentley. It’s a tough decision, but the choice is yours, and after picking your wheels, you’ll be free to explore the winding, tranquil roads of the English countryside, before pausing for an exquisite lunch. Afterwards, take your supercar for one last lap before arriving back to the hotel for some more relaxation.
That night, you will be transferred to the five red star Stoke Park Hotel for a very special James Bond themed dinner. A black tie outfit is optional, but no matter what you wear, the catered seven-course menu wouldn’t look out of place in a Bond film. Following dinner, you will be given an exclusive tour of the hotel’s country club where the Bond films, Goldfinger (1964) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), were filmed. The epic duel between James Bond (Sean Connery) and Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) is considered to be the most famous game of golf in cinematic history.
Day 3
Today is your exclusive James Bond film location tour. Guided by an expert in everything Bond, experience life as an MI6 agent aboard a high-powered speedboat. Whizzing along the famous River Thames like Daniel Craig in the upcoming 2015 Spectre Bond movie, you will have the chance to explore some of the most memorable Bond locations. Making your way back to dry land, you will be transported to your next home for the night: The Dorchester. The epitome of timeless glamour, it is one of the world’s most iconic hotels, and since its opening in April 1931, it has been a favourite choice of celebrities, world leaders, royalty and high society. After some well-earned suite time, the buzz of London’s nightlife is at your fingertips. Whether you want to dine at one of the city’s fabulous restaurants or make an entrance at an exclusive club, you have a private chauffeur at your disposal.
Day 4
Your mission today, should you choose to accept it, is to take to the skies in a helicopter, capturing every remarkable view London has to offer. From Buckingham Palace to the London Eye, you will be given the chance to see the city from a perspective few can brag about – except Bond, perhaps.
After your skyhigh jaunt, you will be transferred back to The Dorchester to enjoy a leisurely lunch followed by a spectacular private tea tasting put on by the world famous East India Company. Ranging from delicate infusions to headier, robust flavours, there’s a tea to suit every palette, and to aid your choice and answer any questions, you will have your very own tea sommelier.
At dinner, you can dine on a sumptuous seven-course chef’s table tasting experience at the hotel’s three Michelin-starred restaurant, Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, hosted in in an exclusive, private venue.
Day 5
Enjoy one last breakfast, before you are whisked back to the airport with private transportation. From supercars to highflying helicopters, your Bond journey has come to an end, but one thing is for certain: it’s as close as you will ever get to serving in Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
