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.

Vineyard Tour and Wine Tasting
English wines are becoming increasingly popular and have gained a well respected reputation within the industry in the UK and abroad. So if you're partial to a glass of wine and would like to know how the grape gets to the glass, then this experience is for you. Taking place at an award winning vineyard set in beautiful Sussex countryside, your experience will start with tea and coffee and an introduction to the estate and its history. Then you will be taken on a tour of the vineyard, from the original cuttings to the newest additions and will learn about the whole process from planting to harvesting. From here go straight onto the winery to find out something about the winemaking process, from the arrival of the grapes to bottling of the finished wine. And what better way to finish a perfect day out than... you guessed it... quaff some wine! You'll taste three different varieties and a buffet meal is also included. A bottle is all yours to take home and savour later.

'Les Miserables' Kids' Club
This is great way to try out acting and learn all about the theatre at one of the most successful shows in the world. First of all, before the day, you'll be sent a synopsis of the show on CD (read by Sir Ian McKellan) so that you're familiar with the story. The big day starts off with a fantastic three-hour kids' workshop. This includes a backstage tour of the theatre and a drama workshop based on improvisational games that will bring out your inner star. The workshop ends which a re-enactment of a scene from the show, using real costumes and props, plus a chance to quiz a real member of the Les Mis cast and a certificate to take home. A packed lunch with a sandwich, crisps, apple and juice is included (sorry but special dietary needs can't be catered for, so bring your own lunch if you prefer). Then in the afternoon, you'll watch a matinee performance of the hit musical.

Thames Dinner Cruise and London Eye for Two
Should you go on a sight-seeing cruise on the Thames? Or are the views better from the London Eye? Or should you just cut to the chase and have a nice dinner somewhere? With this experience you can do all three. You may have to queue a bit but it'll certainly be worth it when you climb aboard your air-conditioned capsule of the London Eye. The Eye slowly turns, giving you sensational panoramic views across London from 135 metres up. Then later, board Bateaux London's river cruiser from the glass pontoon at Embankment Pier for a welcome cocktail. There's cabaret entertainment during your four course a la carte meal before after-dinner dancing. But don't let the great food distract you from the fabulous views, as you cruise past the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London and many more iconic landmarks. Depending on the season you'll cruise at dusk or in darkness, with the city lit up along the river. This is a wonderful way to see the city from two unique perspectives.
