Fun and Food! - This might have been the most fun tour we had on our most recent trip. It was excellent in its simplicity: A bus ride showing some of the highlights of Dublin, an excellent tea service on a vintage (bouncy) bus and a relaxing experience. We did this on the day we arrived to allow ourselves the opportunity to see a bit of the city without doing any walking and to have lunch without having to seek out a place to eat.

Uniquely amazing - Brilliantly unique experience, seeing some of the sights of Dublin with an amazing afternoon tea and warm scone to finish, not the most informative tour but that was explained fully that it wasn’t a guided tour.

A lovely gift. - What a wonderful experience. Myself and my 3 year old, loved the tour. My little girl loved the experience of being on a bus with a table and having her lunch. Thanks to our lovely tour guide, Daniel, who told us lots of stories about The Phoenix Park, Guinness, Daniel O' Connell, etc. Sarah and Orla were amazing hosts, replenishing our drinks and making sure we were always topped up. And of course Paddy the bus man who was a very smooth driver. Such a lovely and special gift to give to someone for Christmas or birthday. This was my second time taking the tour, first with friends and today with my daughter. I will do it again a third time, too.

Amazing experience - Had a really lovely time celebrating a 10 year friendship anniversary! The food was yummy (especially the freshly baked scones) and the tour itself was so interesting- learnt a lot about the city of Dublin and saw some beautiful landmarks. The staff really made the experience as they were so lovely and attentive!

Great ride for the novelty, some history, and some treats! - Leah (I believe her name was) and Aaron (again hoping I got the name right) were great guides and servers. It was nice to see some highlights and the treats were great! And the novelty of the experience was pretty neat as well. Definitely recommend. Also got an opportunity to add to my postcard collection! :)
