Went with my 12 year old daughter! We had such a lovely time!
The tour guide ( Selma) was witty and had the voice of an angel, and genuinely the staff couldn’t do enough for us! To get the cups at the end made my daughter’s day and birthday!😂
Nadine had a gentle way that made us feel so comfortable! We couldn’t recommend this enough! Thankyou to each person working on Saturday 4th Jan 2025 - 1.15pm bus- you are all legends!!!!!🤩

Fabulous experience. Anna and the rest of the team were all great! The food and service was lovely. Added bonus was seeing a heard of deer resting in Phoenix park. I would definitely recommend the vintage tea bus!

What a fabulous experience! The vintage bus was so lovely, it was warm, decorated beautifully & the afternoon tea itself delicious. A good variety of cakes & an array of hot drinks including decaf options & fruit teas. We couldn’t eat it all but there is the option of taking any remaining food home with you & you get to keep the cups too! The girls were knowledgeable & funny & offered family stories too which added to the fun. A good tour around Dublin seeing many landmarks without being too much.
We really enjoyed ourselves. It was expensive but for a treat worth it.

Good food, well brewed tea. the young lady looking after us was friendly, polite and very knowlegable about the areas of Dublin we passed through. The only problem was the lack of accurate information on where to meet the bus. We wandered about for quite a while before we saw the sigh, INSIDE the building. Would have been better if it could have been outside on the footpath, or better explanations given when booking by email.
