Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
Sightseeing Dublin from the top deck of a vintage Routemaster while sipping tea and eating patisserie.
About
Why visit Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
A restored vintage double-decker Routemaster loops the city centre while guests take a proper Irish afternoon tea on board — finger sandwiches, warm scones with cream, patisserie and a glass of Prosecco — all with panoramic top-deck views of Trinity College, Merrion Square and the Georgian core.
- The buses used are original Leyland/AEC Routemasters, many built in the 1960s.
- Dublin's afternoon tea culture dates to the Georgian era, when tea was more expensive than gin.
- The route passes 5 UNESCO-linked Georgian squares in under 30 minutes.
