Walking Tour - James Bond and the Spies of Mayfair

Details

Join Michael as he looks at James Bond and the of Mayfair.

For Bond fans we will explore Ian Fleming's Mayfair: where he was born, where he gambled and drank and how he got the inspiration for his greatest creation, James Bond.

But not all the spies of Mayfair are fictional. One of Britain's greatest traitors fled the country from here, a Russian spy was murdered and real spies still scheme and plot.

We had a personalised tour with Michael Duncan around Saville row, it was amazing, reasonably priced and very enjoyable. Not many people do walking tours of this area but we were able to go into the shops and see so many interesting things, well worth it!

Jan 2024 • Solo

I joined the Haves and Have - nots of Marylebone and really enjoyed it. Even though I was born and grew up not so far away, I discovered new and interesting things, places I had never seen! That's what I love about these tours.

Had a great time on the James Bond and the Spies of Mayfair with Michael as our guide. The weather wasn't great (classic london rain) but Michael did a great job keeping us engaged despite the weather. I've lived in london for 4 years and I learned a lot of things I didn't know on this tour! Highly recommend this tour if you're interested in learning some unique history!

I recently had the opportunity to take a walking tour of London with Michael, a friendly and knowledgeable guide who led us through the city's most interesting sites related to Ian Fleming, James Bond, and real-life spies.
Michael was welcoming and engaging, and his passion for the subject matter was evident throughout the tour. The tour covered a variety of locations related to the history and culture of espionage in London, and Michael's expertise on the topic was impressive. He was able to bring the stories to life in a way that made the experience both informative and entertaining.

Overall, I would recommend Michael's walking tour to anyone interested in the world of espionage, Ian Fleming, or James Bond. He is a great guide who provides an enjoyable and informative experience.
