Adventure World Gives Kiwi Travellers ‘Licence to Thrill'

Adventure World Gives Kiwi Travellers the ‘Licence to Thrill’ With Their New European Spy Mission Tour

So your name’s not Bond, James Bond. Nor is it Sydney Bristow, Jack Bauer or Jason Bourne. You don’t have friends whose names consist of single consonants; your watch isn’t equipped with a hidden microphone and some state-of-the-art gadget doesn’t pop out of your cufflink any time a bad guy comes in close proximity.

If you’ve always been intrigued by the glamorous and thrilling world of espionage, but the closest you’ve gotten to being a part of it involves sitting in front of a big screen TV with a bowl of popcorn in hand or deciphering that tricky cryptic crossword clue in your local newspaper’s game section, don’t despair.

Your mission to experience the cloak-and-dagger lifestyle of a spy is no longer impossible, with leading New Zealand travel company, Adventure World, giving spy-loving Kiwis the opportunity to live out their undercover agent fantasies once and for all, with their newly released European Spy Mission tour.

The directive of the tour is to have a great time, doing all the all of the cool stuff spies and military operatives do, but without the threat of being killed or the discomfort of sleeping in a tree.

Following in the footsteps of literature’s greatest spies, prepare to be ‘shaken and stirred’ as you embark on an action packed adventure through some of Europe’s most exotic and iconic cities.

Travelling through Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves training with SWAT teams and driving a tank in Prague, exploring underground Berlin and - in true James Bond style - hopping on a hydrofoil on Lake Como.

Being a spy is thirsty work, so make sure you take time out to enjoy a martini (shaken, not stirred of course!) when you visit the James Bond bar at the iconic revolving mountaintop restaurant ‘Piz Gloria’ in Switzerland, where many scenes for the classic 1969 James Bond movie “On Her Majesty's Secret Service” were filmed.

The tour dossier also includes a reconnaissance mission to the cascading hilltop ‘Villa del Balbianello’, famously known as the hospital in which 007 recuperates in “Casino Royale”.

Offering an intriguing combination of guided excursions and free time to ‘survey and investigate’ key locations at your own pace, Adventure World’s 14 day European Spy Mission tour - which departs from Berlin and ends in Venice - offers an adventure unlike any other.

Available for two set departures (July 23 and September 10 2011), Adventure World’s European Spy Mission tour is priced from $3,729 per person.

Price includes accommodation, all transport, bicycle tour of Berlin, Hidden Berlin tour, Prague city sightseeing tour, full day of spy activities including SWAT training and tank driving, traditional Swiss lunch, white water rafting, excursion to the famous ‘Piz Gloria’ mountain base atop the Schilthorn, a visit to Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como, half day city sightseeing tour in Venice (featuring locations featured in Bond films) and a water taxi ride.

Spaces are strictly limited, so wannabe spies should get in quick to avoid disappointment.
