I found this video on Youtube and was wondering if any of you have ever done a Bond tour? So hunted down film locations etc. If any of you have where was it and what locations did you see? I'm just being nosey really

I'd love to stay at some of the hotels seen in the films though. How cool would it be to be in the same suite Bond was in X movie? You'd be spending a lot but the cool factor would be worth it.
I've never done the whole touristy thing in London but I want to and I'd probably be more excited about seeing locations like that than the London Eye and the Palace! haha
Back in 2001 friends of mine were moving their narrow boat from The Canary Wharf area, up the Thames to Reading. I was asked to go with them and partially travel by mountain bike, so I could shoot photos of the boat underway on the water. It was bit of an adrenalin rush, cycling through the busy capital without a map reference, chasing past places like the Houses of Parliament, going over the Battersea Bridge, and of course the Vauxhall Building. I got some nice shots too, but I remember hearing the Boat chase and Ice Bandits themes from TWINE in my head as I instinctively raced along streets and alleyways in London.
Not a Bond tour, but it did feel like a Bond experience in a modest way!
I've been to London many times as I have family there and the first time I went it was all about the main touristy places but after you've done them and seen them then the thrill is gone - one hit wonders so to speak. However every time I'm there I'll make the effort to check out the Bond locations because they never get old! The OHMSS photo shoot location being my favourite cause you can strike the pose! And the DAD door is 2 minutes away from there too.
Try this
Ahh cool. Don't know whether it being in Kent was a coincidence or not but to paraphrase Bond, the names Kent, I don't live anywhere near it haha

I just spent a week in San Fran and picked up a few AVTAK locations: Fisherman's Warf, City Hall, GG Bridge, ate quiche, saw a ladder truck. Wanted to visit Stacy's house in oakland, but there's no tours during the winter months.

3 days later I was in Paris, again on business, and did Eiffel Tower (AVTAK). Didn't get to go into the Jules Verne restaurant, but pretty much saw everything else in the tower.
Going to Vegas this fall and will try to see some DAF sites.
I was in San Francisco this weekend and while there I made it a point to drive past City Hall and Fisherman's Wharf just because they were featured in a Bond film.
You didn't stop to enquire about soft shell crabs?
