Definitely recommend this tour if your looking for a charming way to see some of the City. Our guide and driver were friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience feel quaint. Combining sightseeing with tea and delicious foods delivered on both fronts.
Filled with just enough stories and context to make you feel connected to what you were seeing outside the window. A completely unexpected and exciting moment was catching sight of the President’s motorcade as it made its way to the Easter parade. It added a surprising touch of excitement and made the day feel even more uniquely Irish and memorable.

This was a fun and delicious way to get our bearings of Dublin on our first day in the city! The tour was humorous and informative, and we particularly loved the warm scones.

A delightful afternoon tour through Dublin giving a great overview of the city. Food was delicious and plentiful with take away boxes available! Fun staff with humorous and informative dialogue at highlighted points of interest! Fun bus and good seating! Service was excellent!
Karen_P, Apr 2026
This was a great experience. Delicious food and drinks. A nice little chat about some of the places we rode by. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff !!!
Karen_C, Apr 2026
The bus isn’t handicapped accessible. The seating was uncomfortable for my husband with mobility issues. But the tour was, in general, nice for those without special needs. I would have liked to have a more serious tour with detailed history, but what was shared was interesting and the hosts were pleasant. The scones were good, as well.
Marlena_M, Apr 2026
It is a great experience. We enjoyed this activity not long after our overnight flight. Great way to see part of the city & have a snack if you are a little tired!
Molly_G, Apr 2026
We loved it! They had gluten free options for the pastries if you book at least 2 days in advance. The MC was very funny and he was very natural with his commentary and humor. The whole crew was kind and attentive. Recommend! Unique experience.

Great experience. Food was very gd. Guided tour provided much useful information
. Our guide Naive was excellent
Danielle_T, Apr 2026
Our first 'tour' in Dublin and perfect for Easter Sunday Lunch. The semi-guided tour gave us ideas for additional places to visit. The sandwiches were good, the scones were delish, as were the desserts! I would've liked my tea a little hotter. We loved the takeaway souvenir cups! Sheelagh, Ciaofine (I've butchered the spelling!) Zibi, and Rob were all great!
Caden_B, Apr 2026
Fantastic experience with great hosts. Highly recommended to anyone. Dublin has so many tours to pick from, but I say this has to be one of the best available.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks so much for your review and recommendation! We're honoured you think so and delighted to hear you had such a fantastic time on board with us :)
Ann_P, Apr 2026
So much fun - the staff was just amazing - entertaining and informative. And they serve the best scones in Ireland!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Now that's a compliment Ann but I do agree, they are fab scones ;) We're delighted you had so much fun with us! Thanks so much for the review and thanks for coming on board .
Mary_T, Mar 2026
Cute bus with a nice assortment of little sweets to eat with our coffee/tea. My teen sons had a hard time finding a tea they liked. Not very many vegan/dairy free options for milk or food. Would have been cool to have more things pointed out along the way, and shorter stories. Overall, a fun afternoon.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for your review Mary. We're delighted you had fun and enjoyed our cute bus and sweet treats. Our vegan options are available when selected at the time of booking. Thanks for coming on board :)
Anna_T, Mar 2026

Anthony_D, Mar 2026
It was good overall. It should go around more places, it felt short. The staff were great and helpful. Should do children and families segregated in their own buses. Food was decent. Try to get a discount since it is overpriced. It's a one-time experience so give it a go.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We're glad to hear you enjoyed us Anthony, especially our great staff and decent food. Thanks so much for the review and thanks for the tips also :)
David_M, Mar 2026
This was definitely a great way to spend some time in Dublin. We had visited the city before, and were looking for something different to do. This was interesting, fun, and a tasty way to see the city. Food was plentiful, the drink selection was quite varied, and the scones were absolutely delicious. The bus was adorable, and Hannah was a funny and informative guide. The rest of the staff, including Niamh, Zibi, Olivia and Paddy, were so kind and accommodating. All in all, my husband and I enjoyed this excursion and were so glad we booked it!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks so much David for your fab review. We love that you had such a nice time in Dublin with us and enjoyed all our treats and kind crew :) Thanks for coming on board :)
Eric_G, Feb 2026
We had a great time on the Tea Bus Tour. The food was delicious, the staff were very thoughtful, and we loved the classic double decker bus. Just don't eat lunch beforehand like we did!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We're thrilled you had fun on board with us Eric and enjoyed our sweet treats, hope you got to taste it all at least :) Thanks so much for your review!
