Dublin: Afternoon Tea Vintage Bus Tour

About This Tour

Dublin has no shortage of sightseeing bus tours, but none of them come with scones, clotted cream, and a pot of tea. This 75-minute experience combines a city tour with a full afternoon tea, all served aboard a gorgeously restored 1960s double-decker bus that turns heads on every street it rolls down.

The route winds past some of Dublin’s best-known landmarks. You will pass the grand front square of Trinity College, the wide Georgian townhouses that line Merrion Square, the sprawling green expanse of Phoenix Park, and the bustling atmosphere around St. Stephen’s Green. While the sights pass by outside, your table is laid with a seasonal menu of sandwiches, freshly baked scones with jam, butter, and clotted cream, and a selection of sweet treats. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available for those who need them.

The hosts keep the atmosphere warm and entertaining, sharing stories and fun facts about Dublin as 1960s music plays in the background. It is the kind of experience that works equally well as a treat for visiting family, a date, or a birthday celebration. You even get a thermal cup to take home as a souvenir, which is a more useful keepsake than most.
