In Ireland, we love tea, scones and cupcakes. And Vintage Tea Trips won’t tell you otherwise!
These old-school buses offer customers the chance to climb aboard and enjoy an authentic “cream tea” while discovering Dublin’s most beautiful spots! A really unusual, cool and fun outing, where you can enjoy a real Irish tea (with scones and all), while enjoying a top-notch guided tour!
A little pricey, but well worth it!
A Vintage Tea Trips bus in Dublin – Cityswift – cc
If you like cool, quirky activities, then Vintage Tea Trips could be right up your alley! The idea is to discover Dublin’s must-sees, while enjoying a snack of tea and pastries in a vintage bus.
And let’s face it: it’s a pretty good time. In a nutshell, the experience begins in the working-class neighborhood of Temple Bar. You board a retro bus, loaded with authentic charm.
Then you make yourself comfortable… and the serious business begins. Irish tea is served while you drive… Your table is set with soft scones (with jam and clotted cream), fruit cakes, sandwiches and other delicacies…
So you can enjoy a cup of tea while discovering Dublin and its highlights… All with commentary as you go, from the waiters who look after you!
It’s a nice, pleasant moment (all the more so as the bus plays 1950s jazz to create the perfect old-school atmosphere). The tea and cakes are tasty, served in the traditional Irish way. There’s something for every sweet tooth (with a special mention for their cream scones, which are a pure delight, especially with their homemade jam).
Among the highlights, the bus will take you past Temple Bar, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Christ Church, Trinity College, St Stephen’s Green, Wood Quay, O’Connell Street, Phoenix Park… etc. A truly grand tour of the Irish capital!
Note, however, that this somewhat “exuberant” visit comes at a price: almost €50 for the excursion! A very high price indeed, but one that matches the pleasure of traveling aboard a vintage bus, while enjoying a delicious meal… A must-do if you’re a fan of original, offbeat experiences!
Another important point: the tour is in English only, but small paper guides in translated versions can do the trick. They are generously offered by the tour organizers: don’t hesitate to ask for them!
