Which City, OO7?

Which City, OO7?

Which city is twice the size of New York City, with a park twice the size of Central Park where humans were sacrificed, with Popocatepetl Volcano just 40 miles away?

Drum roll please, and mariachi band, for the BondFanEvents October 2023 Mexico City Tour!

Spain’s 300-year presence built churches and palaces there, and the home to 180 museums, more than any other city in the world. A beautiful, clean, European and walkable city.

BondFanEvents scouted Mexico for you in 2018, we all loved it and took most of the photos then you’re seeing now.

Double-O Siete: Full Itinerary and Pricing

Rich in sleek skyscrapers and giant heroic sculptures, Mexico City reminds us of Madrid. And there are lovely skyscrapers like this one from SPECTRE . . .

At 7500 feet in elevation, the weather is mid-70s year-round.

The city is gorgeous.

You’ll see uniformed security and this is one of the world’s safest cities.

We’ll spend much time in the Historic and Business Districts.

We saw this beautiful church shown here behind Daniel Craig and wanted to go inside, but we ran out of time. But our week together will be a longer visit to live the Bond life so you can enjoy not just Bond locations, but this amazing city . . .

Many restaurants offer full menus in English.

We will dine in these restaurants and more, some of which are also Bond locations.

Fine dining costs only about 25% of what it costs in the USA. This was a typical dinner with cocktails, appetizers, entrees and dessert, and was only about $30 per person.

Mexico City is a foodie’s paradise and don’t hesitate, there’s a lot more than Mexican food to enjoy.

Janine and I spent an hour looking around this beautiful bakery . . .

. . . and a diner is across the street from our hotel with all kinds of American and Mexican specialties.

This isn’t the Tex Mex you know. Would you believe the four of us fought over this plate of grasshoppers, fried worms and ant larvae?

Our 2023 lodging is the Gran Hotel de la Ciudad de México, seen in two Bond films.

This hotel has outstanding restaurants and lovely rooms with private balconies.

Our hotel’s brunch overlooks the helicopter plaza fight from SPECTRE.

We arrive Thursday and the food and fun begin.

We’ll tour many SPECTRE and LICENCE TO KILL scene locations.

Friday is SPECTRE locations day.

Friday we dine where Daniel Craig dined and pumpkin soup with pistachio and edible flowers ain’t your granny’s Mexican food.

Friday night we’ll tour the Paseo de la Reforma with its many themed displays and alebrijes, brightly colored fantasy sculptures. Our hotel decorates too and the streets will be electric as you play Bond and dress specially for SPECTRE’s Grand Parade.

You will always remember the Dia de Muertos Parade. Thousands of people participate as hundreds of thousands cheer them on.

We’ll watch the Parade’s finale from the terrace of this stunning restaurant, enjoying gourmet tapas and cocktails for hours.

The streets fill with revelers past Midnight as our group joins the fun.

Outside the city, Sunday will bless our hearts as we see two dozen scenes from Professor Joe’s gigantic temple complex.

We’ll tour Chapultepec Castle.

Then Monday is LICENCE TO KILL locations day in Mexico City itself.

And the whole week features amazing food stops and shopping.

Tuesday’s Bond locations include this cathedral and the breathtaking Palacio del Bellas Artes.

We’ll shop for goodies to bring home and go atop the Torre Latinoamerica to see Bond’s locations from high above beautiful Mexico City before Wednesday and departure day.

Janine and I promise to direct a great tour week, so who is all in at Bond’s table?

a look back at our 2013 James Bond Cruise

IST/Bond Collectors Weekends “OOSailin Cruise” has returned in triumph from: *Jamaica, and VILLA GOLDENEYE to sit at Mr. Fleming’s writing desk and to sip rum our concierge offered, as we celebrated Bond’s 60th Anniversary in print *Miami, to explore 60 Bond vehicles from all 23 films with the DEZER BOND MUSEUM’s curator, and to visit the Doug Redenius OO7 Memorabilia Collection in person *The Bahamas, to nurse Vespers at CASINO ROYALE’s One & Only Ocean Club and dip our toes in Emilio Largo’s Shark Pool from THUNDERBALL *The Turks and Caicos to beachcomb and unwind from visiting 35 more Bond film and book locations (including touring the GOLDFINGER Car Crush Plant with its owner, spearing Vargas at THUNDERBALL’s Love Beach, visiting Jill Masterson’s and Bond’s rooms at THE FONTAINEBLEAU and dozens of other film and book locations) One kind fan wrote, “Matt, thanks again from the bottom of my heart for a great, fantastic trip. You delivered far more than promised.” ** Yes, the OOSailin fans adored our four locations tours and our bonus visit to climb Dunn’s River Falls from DR. NO. And aboard the new Carnival Breeze, they loved to shop and to attend dance, music and comedy shows, watch Bond movies and trade props and collectibles, play casino games and chat until the wee hours over smokes and drinks on the top deck. Hours of Bond trivia challenges were also provided at sea and we watched 4D action movies, climbed a ropes course and enjoyed the Breeze’s saunas and hot tubs, swimming pools, jogging track and two billiards tables. To be honest, despite the fact that all the BONDLIST cruisers, even first timers, said they’d sail again with me, by the last evening I’d lost my appetite. So for dinner with the group I settled reluctantly on Maryland Crab Cake, Frog Legs in Butter and the Chilled Mango Ginger Soup. Oh, and also Mac & Cheese with Bacon followed by a thick wedge of Cappuccino Pie. As one fan said, “Don’t everyone fill up on prime rib before our (second) lobster tail!” It’s true, OO7, dining on the ship wearied us all. At one luncheon, I wondered whether The Breeze wanted “a clean kill or to send a message” as I counted 14 lunch locations aboard including Mexican, Italian and a Mongolian Grill all made to order, and Indian, BBQ, a deli, a pizzeria, and a Chocolate Decadence Buffet, each of the 14 offering different menus and unlimited dining free of cost. Discipline, OO7, discipline! We paced ourselves all week. After all, breakfast and lunch were often followed by Afternoon Tea then The Appetizer Taste Bar and of course, five-course dinners, sitting as a group together and unwinding or tackling trivia challenges. Somehow we managed to roll away from dinner when Moneypenny invited us for late night snacks and a nightcap to watch movies under the stars, seen from the comfort of our loungers or even the swimming pool.

I visited three foreign countries and Goldeneye, Largo’s House and the One & Only Club in the same week! Now we can all die happy at sea, our method of execution being fine dining!” ** On returning again to Miami, I sadly missed our overseas adventures. My heart was at home but my behind was seated at Mr. Fleming’s desk in his $7,500 a night villa. Eggs Benedict and a Belgian Waffle topped with Strawberry Relish, Nutella and Pine Nuts, however, eaten 100 feet above South Beach on the Breeze’s Lido Deck eased my grieving process. Overindulgence and the soft life. Now it’s Shrublands, I’m afraid, for daily herbal enemas and nightly rubdowns with Patricia. The things I do for England! Want to see Bond’s world in person next time? Another Bond fan wrote yesterday, “Another successful mission, Matt, you made us all happy. Bucket Lists for all, a big thanks for all your effort and work, dreams do come through thanks to you.” Rumor has it from Washington, DC that the next BONDLIST event will be held there, centered on CIA and The International Spy Museum. I’m also ready (after exercise and a crash diet) for another Caribbean cruise to see locations and Ian Fleming’s villa. How about you?
