Such a lovely experience on the Vintage 1969 Tea Around Town afternoon tea tour! The food was absolutely excellent, and our tour guides made it even more special—so knowledgeable and genuinely funny, which kept the whole ride light and entertaining. And the takeaway cup is the cutest little souvenir to remember it by. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a charming and unique afternoon!

Touring Dublin in a double decker vintage bus was a great way to get oriented on my second day. Afternoon tea added to the experience. The hosts were well organized, cheerful, and provided great commentary. Sarah, Hannah and Olive were great. I booked months in advance. The bonus was getting to keep the tea container.
This cute tour was a wonderful treat for my daughter and myself. The bus was adorable, the food was delicious, and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to do something a little different than walking around the city following a guide through crowded streets.
My wife and I saw this opportunity and wanted to experience a tour around Dublin in a cool, 1960 vintage bus, and it totally delivered! The staff was extremely kind, and the only issue we ran into was that there were fuel protests going on that made it difficult for our bus to navigate the city. The food was delicious, the bus was super neat, and we visited a park right next to the meeting point (Steven’s) that was absolutely breathtaking! On a normal day within Dublin, this short little tour was a lot of fun.

Great experience with a very kind and informing staff. Only thing we were confused about was that the booking said it would take 90 minutes but it only lasted for 60 minutes, which confused us quite a bit at the end.
Very entertaining, riding a tea bus around town as you indulge in pastries and sandwiches.
Anna was very attentive and cherry.
Food and staff were wonderful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Downside: Directions on Google map places you on the other side of the street. On Viator, a couple of different "Tea on a Bus" tours are listed at different prices. Different titles so it seems like it is different buses. Pick the cheapest one. Same bus, same food. Great souvenir cup though. Disappointing.
We went on this experience just hours after we arrived into Dublin, and with both the tea and the tour around Dublin, it was an immediate memorable experience. It's also pretty easy to get to if you are staying in the city centre
Cute setting but as a solo traveler I was given fewer options though I paid full price. Way too expensive for 3 macaroon size pastries and wasn’t even given all the pastries been else was. I was also given two egg half sandwiches and a small slider. Way too much money for a 99 cent sup of hot chocolate and mid dessert. Also just rode around for 20 min while eating. No actual tea cups. So disappointed. I even asked as a solo traveler why I was not given the same options as everyone else and was told they pick what pastries I’m given as a solo traveler which wasn’t all the same ones as the coupes. No cake! I would not do it again
It’s a lot of fun, delicious tea food coupled with an opportunity to drive through the city for an initial introduction to Dublin.
The crew is warm and welcoming. Everyone is quite knowledgeable. The food is excellent! I'm so glad we booked this tour.
Great food and entire staff very friendly. Entire staff very knowledgeable and made tour a lot of fun.
This was a highlight of our trip to Dublin. The hosts and tour guide could not be more friendly and knowledgeable. So comprehensive and the food was delicious too! Please go! You won’t be sorry!
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!

Hello!
Thank you for sharing your special experience in Dublin! We know that your hosts enjoyed your company and the food-filled fun! We are excited to hear from you and hope to see you at another Eatwith table in the future. Happy travels!
Orla was amazing! She made the tour even more fun and cute. Adam and Aaron were great as well. The drinks and food were delicious. I would definitely recommend this as a way to see Dublin!
The food was excellent and the staff really charming and fun. Great way to see some of Dublin, especially on a rainy day and without a bunch of walking. Would do again.
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! :)
Don't recommend you book this. Won't be able to cancel if something goes wrong. Not worth it and won't work to reschedule
Loved our guide and all the staff. A fun way to learn about Dublin while enjoying delicious sammies and sweets!
Everything about the tour - from the service, the Tea and Coffee, the Pastries, Tarts, Scones and Sandwiches to the music, the information given about the various landmarks and not to forget, the smooth driving by Liam, made it a memorable experience for us! Daniel, Nicole and Leti’s impeccable service, warmth and humour is greatly appreciated and will be always remembered! Great going folks!
