It is the first company to offer civilians the chance to be trained for and complete covert missions, which take place across eastern Europe and America.

Depending on the operation, clients can experience thrilling helicopter rides, combat situations, dealing with explosives and hostage rescue.

The sky is the limit for the most extravagant package offered by the company - called Operation Connery. Costing £165,000 per head for a minimum of eight people, it will take you on a four-day mission across Europe.

Secret agent style: You'll complete search and rescue missions and have shoot-outs with bad guys

Past participants have experienced a boat chase from Nice to Monaco, where they received a briefing from an M-style character and a glamorous evening at the casino.

Over the next few days, they arrive in the Czech Republic by helicopter and jet into the Swiss mountains.

They jump out of cars and experience choreographed shoot-outs with the bad guys, all in a bid to get their imaginary '007-status'.

Mission complete: At the end, guests are rewarded with a lavish Bond-style party

Special Operations Agency MD Sean Crawford tells MailOnline Travel that the missions transforms grown men and women into children again. 'It's an adrenaline ride,' he says. 'The ultimate high.'

One high net-worth client from Russia paid £2m to arrange for members of their staff - some unaware it was not real - to be taken on a cat and mouse chase across America.

The Special Operations Agency filtered faux threats to the company, kidnapped one employee, and trained the team in a search and rescue mission that ended in a lavish Bond-style party.

It's not just for the boys, in fact, Crawford reveals that in his experience, 'women tend to be the best shots'.

And it's also not just for the mega-wealthy. Realising that there is a market for a secret-agent experiences with a more modest budget, the Agency has introduced a range of 'operations' that cost just under £3,000.

Taking place in European sites near Prague and Vienna, the two-day packages will offer guests the chance to experience weaponry training and combat scenarios - and they don't sacrifice the glamorous after-party.

Operations retain an air of mystery, so participants don't know exactly what they can expect before embarking on missions.

'Ultimate high': The idea came when Crawford witnessed participants in firearms training 'buzzing like kids'

The idea came about several years ago when Crawford was instructing at a firearms school in Hereford, while his partner, Carl Leonard, was training Daniel Craig in pistols on the set of Casino Royale.

'I watched students buzzing like little kids,' Crawford says. They realised there was a market for secret agent-style courses.

It took several years for the idea to be realised; the recession putting plans on hold.The high-rolling City boys and their toys who were their target market tamed their spending habits, but the past year has seen demand for extravagant experiences skyrocket again.
