Tour of Kensington Palace and Tea at Grosvenor House for Two
Your experience includes entrance to Kensington Palace. Originally a private country house, the building was acquired by William III and Mary II in 1689 and was adapted for royal residence by Sir Christopher Wren. For the next 70 years the palace played host to the courts of William and Mary, Queen Anne, George I and George II. In the 19th century Kensington was the birthplace and childhood home of Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria) and Princess Diana occupied apartments in the north-west part of the palace from 1981 to 1997. Pick up an audio headset for your self-guided tour of the palace and you can follow that with tea at Grosvenor House. First opened in 1928, this five star luxury hotel in Mayfair known for its exceptional service and style is often frequented by royalty, celebrities and business leaders. In the relaxed and elegant surroundings of the Park Room, a selection of tea is served along with traditional sandwiches, freshly baked scones and classic pastries.

Vinopolis Experience and Lunch for Two
It's a quandary - we really do want to go and look at cultural stuff and learn new things, but we only get a couple of days off a week and we also want to relax and, well, have a drink. So thank goodness for Vinopolis - a unique attraction devoted to the world of wine and its associated pleasures. With this lovely experience you'll get a delicious three course lunch at Cantina Vinopolis (wine not included) and then you're free to take a tour of Vinopolis at your own pace using the audio tour guide. Your visit includes a fascinating virtual tour of the wine regions of the world. And tastings of five excellent wines. But Vinopolis isn't just about wine - you'll also get a cocktail as part of the tour. All in all a pretty good way to spend a day off.
