About
Experience afternoon tea with a difference. Hop on board a fully restored 1960s vintage Routemaster double decker bus and be transported back in time where social media was non-existent and chats over tea reigned supreme. Indulge in a full afternoon tea spread of freshly made sandwiches, warm fruit scones with all the trimmings and of course delectable desserts. Sit back and relax with a cup of tea and let our hosts regale you with their favourite tales of Dublin as we take a jaunt through Dublin’s fair city. It's not a fully guided tour though so there is plenty of time for you and yours to have a wee gossip and catch up. This is afternoon tea with a difference. This is afternoon tea the Irish way.
Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Such a lovely bus (Jean) and loved the decor.
Booked as a birthday treat for my goddaughter (11), her mother / my friend, her sister (22) and my son (2.5 toddler) - all loved the experience and would recommend to others.
The table set ups were cute and so well thought out - had cup holders for your drinks and mats to stop plates & cake stands from sliding around. Had two vegetarians who were accommodated for and the child afternoon tea was Nutella sandwiches and ham & cheese brioche buns - much more suitable for kids. The scones were served warm and Dev & Robert would come around to top up our beverages. Got a little muffin for my son. They even brought a cupcake out with a candle to my goddaughter for her birthday and sang “happy birthday”!
The host / tour guide Hannah was brilliant, so friendly and funny, and although I’m living in Dublin, she told me things I didn’t even know about the city.
Finally bus driver Robert was such a lovely man and a great photographer, getting all the angles you would want!!!
Cannot recommend doing this more and will definitely do it again!!

I brought my mom and my little sisters on the afternoon tea trip on Sunday at 1.30pm and it was absolutely delightful. Adam was the tour guide, he was very informative and interactive with everyone on the bus and thought us a lot about Dublin that we didn’t know before. We are from Dublin and this was something different and lovely to do with friends or family. It was my moms birthday and Adam made it very special by getting everyone to sing happy birthday to her. Anna looked after us and she was friendly and greeted us with a smile and brought us as much tea, hot chocolate and juice as we wanted and even brought us freshly baked scones. The food was amazing and filled me for the rest of the day.
I would 100 percent recommend to anyone who loves afternoon tea and to feel a little fancy. Adam and Anna went above and beyond to make our tea trip the wonderful experience that it was.

This was less of a tour of Dublin City than I had anticipated, but it was a very fun and exciting way to enjoy a very well done afternoon tea. The tea was delicious, though you could opt for coffee. And the sandwiches and dessert treats were very tasty. The guide helps setup the food, and so he only has so much time to give a tour, otherwise they play really fun broadway musicals and jazz music as you look around. He did engage the crowd with questions and trivia of the area while we were in Phoenix Park, and I don't think I'd have made it out to the park on my own while I was in Dublin City, so I'm glad I was able to see it. Got to have so many tea refills before getting off the bus, and keep the cup as a souvenir! Very fun ride.

What a lovely concept this tour is! We decided to book the tour to experience Dublin on a tight schedule and we didn’t regret it.
Dev, Daniel, Adam and Paddy provided history, jokes, delicious tea and snacks and a safe ride through the town. My bride tribe and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get a first impression of the city while eating well.
As a matter of fact, I had so much fun, I’d do it again!

We had a wonderful time on our tour today with our hosts Kiera, Adam and Liam. They were terrific - the service was excellent, the food as delicious, and the tour was beautiful. We saw parts of the city we hadn’t seen before, and learned great stories about odd bits that were very fun. We’d gladly do this again next time we’re in town.

We loved everything about this tour!
The food was really tasty and they met my dietary requirements (nut allergy) without any problems.
If you like vintage vehicles, the tour is a must! We really liked Jean (the 60-year-old bus) and the whole team! Everyone was so friendly and attentive and made us feel welcome.
The stories about some of Dublin‘s sights we were told on board were really entertaining as well. It is not a traditional sightseeing tour but we knew this in advance and were really happy with the way the team organised everything.
Thanks to Daniel, Anna and Paddy, we had a great first afternoon in Dublin!

Great time going around the city. The food was good and there was plenty of it. Lots of drink options and frequent check ins. I would not recommend VIP seating unless you were solo or a couple of smaller people as those front seats are a bit tight if you are bigger. Aside from that though it was a great experience, would recommend, and will be doing it again next time I am in Dublin!

I reccomend this activity for anyone who is visiting Dublin! The staff was very friendly, and Robert the driver offered to take our picture before we left. The sandwiches and tea hit the spot and our tour guide gave us an interesting and funny commentary about the city. Just book it, you will love it! 🫖☕️🍰😍

We had a fantastic time on the Vintage Tea Bus on 6th March to celebrate my mother’s 84th Birthday! The food was amazing as was the Tea! The crew were equally amazing!! Many thanks to Daniel, especially for his witty commentary on Dublin (3 Dubs learned something new!) and to Dev and Anna and not forgetting the lovely Bob the driver!!! We will be back! Michelle, Carol & Marie 🤗🤗🤗
