Leave the tube to the stressed-out commuters for a more relaxing way of travelling around London, enjoying the sights on a river cruiser along the Thames. Board a city cruiser and head down the river to Greenwich. The cruise gives you a real insight into the layers of history that have built up along the river, an amazing mixture of the old and the new, with great views of the Houses of Parliament, Tate Modern, St Paul's and many more London landmarks. Any time you want, you can hop off the boat at any one of four piers, go and explore and then hop back on later. Tickets to the Tower of London, the magnificent medieval fortress on the north bank of the Thames by Tower Bridge, are also included in this experience. The Tower is one of London's must-see attractions; teeming with history, it has been a royal residence, a prison and the scene of many executions (no wonder there's so many ghosts...). It's also home to the fabulous Crown Jewels. This experience is for one person.

People disagree on how whisky should be drunk, and how it's spelt, but everyone agrees that Glenmorangie is one of the finest malt whiskies in the world and with this experience you'll learn more about its heritage and traditions - and get to drink it. On arrival at the five-star Glenmorangie Hotel you'll receive a warm Highland welcome, enjoying a wee dram in your room to help you get settled in, before being chauffeured to the Glenmorangie Distillery for your tour. The distillery has been making Glenmorangie the same way since 1843 and you'll learn about the craftsmanship of the legendary 'Sixteen Men of Tain' who work there. You will have a single tasting at the distillery before heading back to the hotel to sample further malt whiskies of various ages and flavours. Then join the big table where you'll relax over a set four or five course dinner. A full breakfast the following morning is also included. You'll take home some small Glenmorangie gifts and a bottle of original malt.
London's West End is the best place in the country to see a musical, but if you don't happen to live close by then getting to and from the shows can be a chore to say the least. This experience makes the whole thing hassle-free, leaving you to relax and enjoy the show, and maybe a bit of shopping too. You'll get two top-price tickets to your choice from the following list of West End shows (subject to availability): 39 Steps, Blood Brothers, Chicago, We Will Rock You, Buddy (to 6 Feb 2009), Woman in Black, Grease (matinees only) and Sound of Music (to 28 Feb 2009). You'll be in the best seats available on the night in either the stalls or the dress circle, so you'll have a fantastic view of the action. Then after the show, spend the night at a centrally located three star hotel (within London's zone one). All hotel rooms are en-suite and offer a choice of twin or double bedroom. Breakfast is also included.
The Orient-Express British Pullman conjures up images of a more glamorous age - and of a more stylish approach to travelling. On this experience you'll find out just why the train has such a fabulous reputation, and revel in luxury and nostalgia en route to one of a number of historic destinations. Each unique carriage dates from the 1920s or 1930s and is staffed by liveried stewards. Your experience will begin in style, with brunch served on your outward journey. Choose a destination from some of Britain's finest towns and cities or historic attractions. On arrival you'll disembark for a walking tour, usually followed by some free time for exploring. On your return journey, relax and enjoy a glass of champagne and a three or four course meal with wine. Or you could choose a seasonal sumptuous five course Christmas lunch during December. The exact itinerary will depend on your choice of destination, but wherever you go we know that you'll fall in love with this romantic train.
Are you someone who can't walk past a jewellers without stopping to admire the gorgeous pieces displayed in the window? Emeralds, rubies, sapphires... and top of the list, a girl's best friend - the sparkle and shine of a diamond. But have you ever wondered what goes into creating such beautiful pieces? With this experience you'll get the opportunity to watch master craftsmen in their working environment and learn about the clarity and colour of different stones. With your new-found knowledge, you'll each choose your own 0.12ct diamond and a 9ct yellow or white gold band to create your own diamond ring. You'll take part in the whole journey, from bending and soldering to filing and buffing. There'll even be the chance to have your rings engraved before the diamonds are set and they receive a final finish. Your finished rings will have an approximate financial value of £250, but these unique pieces are, of course, priceless! Breakfast, lunch, soft drinks and all materials are included.
