Highlight of our Dublin trip!

5.00Adam, Liam, Alex and Reese were wonderful! The food was yummy. It was such a pleasant experience. Our two girls (ages 6 and 9) said it was the highlight of our trip! It was rainy so a little difficult to see outside since it was night. Did not detract from the experience at all but something to think of if that matters to you. It was a nice mix of information and also time to yourselves. All the employees were so very nice and attentive. Fresh baked scones = heaven! 10/10 would recommend!

5.00Great selection of sandwiches, cakes and drinks. Delicious warm scones and a cup of tea. Loved that drinks were unlimited. Guide was funny giving some information on sights to keep you engaged. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, everybody was really friendly, helpful. Would recommend going forward. We attended 22/12/2024 at 1.45pm... 🎄🎄🤶🎅👏

5.00My niece and I really enjoyed the Twinkling Light tour last night. The festive sweet and savoury treats were delicious and we had an endless supply of tea and hot chocolate. The tour itself gave us a view of the festive lights around the city as well as the special displays on the Central Bank, GPO and Custom House. The team on board kept us filled up on both food and local information. Thanks to Logan, Orlaith, Leah and Liam. Really enjoyed the tour on vintage bus and would highly recommend.

5.00Great selection of sandwiches, cakes and drinks. Delicious warm scones and a cup of hot soup to start. Loved that drinks were unlimited. Adam- guide was fabulous- just the right amount of information and time to just enjoy the tea delivered with a great sense of humour. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff (Holly, Lola and Adam)- really friendly, helpful and made each person very special. Saw lots of beautiful lights and learned some interesting things too. Would absolutely recommend. Great value for money.
A novel seasonal tea party

5.00Had always wanted to take this trip ,as I love to take tea in different parts of the world usually stationary and have taken the usual in Dublin ie The west bury, The Shelbourne etc. I had to fill a day so was going to just take the regular trip but was fortunate to be able to take this first of the season. I was nervous being solo and not liking to travel backward however seats are pre-assigned and I was downstairs. The team ,led by Anna , were so welcoming and the tea was great… we even got a Christmas cracker! Highly recommend this.
An experience not to be missed.

5.00This was one of the most unique things I have done in Dublin. My mom and I really enjoyed the food and drinks (there was more than enough for us) but the staff on board went above and beyond. Big thank you to Anna, Adam, Sarah, and Robert for making the experience so amazing! Anna was very entertaining and we learned a lot about Dublin because of her.
Best thing ever! Highly recommend
