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.

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?
