    Relaxing tour of Dublin

    This was a great relaxing tour around Dublin after a long flight from the US. The drive and staff did a great job pointing out spots in Dublin and giving a little history of Ireland and Dublin. The bus is a 1960s English bus that is in great shape. If you have difficulty with stairs I would request to stay on the lower floor when booking. The sandwiches, cakes and tea/coffee were very good and filled us up.

    Tour sights and tea — wonderful combination

    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.

    Cute Tea Bus

    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.

    We had the best time on the bus we did it for my aunties 90th birthday . Our guide Aaron was the best so funny and knowledgeable really made the trip. Sarah and keisha(hope that’s how you spell it) were brilliant tea and scones were plentiful they couldn’t do enough. Dave the driver was great too. Would highly recommend 😊👏👏

    Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.

    Is Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin?

    +

    Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dublin?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dublin?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dublin?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin?

    +

    Included: Traditional afternoon tea - sandwiches, scones and desserts; Irish twist to the traditional afternoon tea experience; This is not a fully guided tour but hear stories about Dublin; and Dine on a vintage Routemaster bus. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Irish Afternoon Tea on 1960s Vintage Bus in Dublin?

    +

    Stephen Court, 20-22 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, D02 HW54 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
