Six out of Five Stars! - Absolutely amazing tour and experience!!!! We went to Ireland for a bachelorette trip and this was one of the best things we did! Such a wonderful way to see the city with absolutely delicious tea and snacks. We even had a member of our party with a gluten allergy and they made the most delicious plate for her separately to accommodate. Daniel, Orla, Patty, and Logan could not have been more sweet to our party and it was just overall a wonderful time. I absolutely recommend!!!

Recommend - Great group running the tour. Just enough history and yummy food! Great way to get oriented to city on first day before we could check in Airbnb.

Tasty trip on the biscuit box bus - A unique experience and must do to explore Dublin. The story telling is great! I a native to Ireland, bought up and bred here in Ireland was pleasantly surprised that I learned so much on the this tremendous tea trip! This tour would cater to anyone as it’s not too touristy! For something to do on a Sunday it’s great way to put down the day or time! The story about the light in the presidents window was emotive and I never knew about it till the trip! The food was great, I was pleasantly surprised! All in all so much food for one person you’re full anyway! Unlimited drinks throughout the tour! I celebrated my birthday a month and half later on the bus and it was great. Although I had completely forgotten that I added it to the notes on the booking. Nevertheless I loved the complimentary muffin when I got home for supper! A big clap for the enthusiastic singing of happy birthday and a muffin with a candle, nice touch and great memento. Awkward enough but loved it all the same. Definitely worth the money! All the staff were lovely and exhibited the traditional Irish welcome! Very easy and accessible to find the starting point of the tour!

Really nice experience - Really nice experience, enjoyed the drive around town on the adorable bus viewing architecture and monuments in addition to visiting Phoenix Park. This is not just tea & biscuits, there is also sandwiches, scones, coffee and hot chocolate offered.

Delish treats on a groovy bus! - My 15 year old daughter and I really enjoyed our Tea Time. The treats were delish, the team were awesome and our guide, Hannah, made us laugh. This was a casual drive around Dublin on an adorable, vintage double decker bus from the 60's! Very unique and fun experience.

Fabulous tour - Had a great time with Hannah & her team on the Afternoon Tea tour. The food was great, even catering for a Gf vegetarian! Lovely that everyone sang happy birthday to the 3 people on board who were celebrating. Would highly recommend.

A Must do for a Dublin visit - We were in Dublin for the day and my husband, son and I did the Vintage tea bus tour. Highly recommend it! It was a fun day for all of us and a great way to experience the city and enjoy tea and delicious food.

A unique experience - It was very hot the day I went (the bus is not air conditioned) and the fumes from the bus were coming in the window, which made the experience less enjoyable. I found it expensive (with the exchange it came to $78.73 CAD) for the three little sandwiches, three little sweets, and one large scone. The scone was very good, I must say. You can drink as much tea, coffee, or water as you want but they warn you, there is no bathroom on the bus. The tour lasted about an hour. It was nice to drive around Dublin and see the sights and learn a bit more about the city while drinking tea. The driver, commentator and servers did a great job and were friendly. At the end, the commentator suggested we give a tip and that turned me off because I felt it already cost enough for what I got. He made an underhanded comment when I got off the bus and I thanked them but didn't give a tip. I still recommend this unique experience, but just know what you are getting.

Trisha d - As this was a birthday present for my sister I was disappointed with the service we got although the staff did there very best to keep everyone happy on our trip you only need one set of passengers that are demanding leaving them very little time for the rest of the passengers . Also if they are going to offer a choice of fruit or plain scones to make sure they cook enough for the passengers to have a choice as when they got to us only had fruit ones left and when you are looking forward to that part of the afternoon tea it left us both very disappointed. They did offer us a couple more small pieces of sandwiches .
