If you do a tour in Dublin, this should be it! 10/10 - We had 24 hours in Dublin and decided to book this highly rated Vintage Tea Tour - if you are visiting Dublin for any period of time, this is a "must do!" We are a family of three, with a 5 year old little girl and we all loved it! This tour absolutely made our trip! From booking, they were incredibly attentive as they made outreach to confirm dietary preferences all the way through to the detailed meeting directions to the warm smiles and welcomes when getting ready to board. The tour itself was even better! Such a beautiful, clean, charming and perfectly decorated bus with delicious food and drinks! Fun little games along the way and a wealth of knowledge told in a beautiful storytelling way that you could actually retain (shout out to Anna for the history!). Anna, Hannah and Sarah were beyond attentive and ensured we all had a great time! Highly recommend!!

Tour Dublin with tea and treats in a double decker bus. - We were greeted by Nicole (apologies for any name misspellings) at the beginning and had Erin as our waiter. Adam was the host (speaker) and Liam was our driver (p.s. the bus is named Pauline, so fun!). They all did great and you learn a lot about Dublin in a fun atmosphere! The food and tea were phenomenal, as well as the sights around Dublin. Would highly recommend this event and these people!

Unique Experience - It was such a fun experience. I have never seen this kind of your before. I had a great time with Orlo, Dan, Logan, and of course Liam that kept us safe. It was a unique and entertaining time.

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!
