Vintage Tea Trips
About
Vintage Tea Trips offers a memorable journey that blends Dublin’s rich heritage with the convivial charm of an Irish afternoon tea. Board a restored 1960s Routemaster double‑decker bus and wander through the city’s most iconic sites—St. Stephen’s Green, Phoenix Park, the Guinness Brewery and Georgian streets—while enjoying freshly baked scones, savory sandwiches, cakes, and an assortment of teas. Local hosts sprinkle stories about Dublin’s past into the conversation, creating a semi‑guided narrative that feels both educational and relaxed. The tour lasts roughly 70‑80 minutes, providing just enough time to soak in the sights without feeling rushed. Whether you’re a family, a history buff, a city‑explorer, or simply looking for a unique social media moment, the experience offers a nostalgic backdrop that turns a casual afternoon into a delightful adventure. Bookings can be made online via the official page or over the phone. The same‑day booking line (01 255 1777) ensures that you can secure a seat even if you decide on a whim. The journey is not free—tickets start at €55 for adults—but the combination of vintage transport, local storytelling, and delicious tea makes it a well‑worth‑while outing for any visitor to Dublin.
