A Highlight of our Christmas Trip

5.00We loved everything about this activity. The hosts were wonderful; the food and drinks were delicious; and the scenery was great. We loved seeing the Christmas lights and also appreciated the information we received from the hosts so we could go back on foot and enjoy the best sights and take family pictures with the lights. Our whole family recommends this activity!
Beautiful trip through a beautiful city.

5.00We decided to take another tour at this wonderful trip, this time the Twinkling Lights trip. Looking for the beautiful attractions in Dublin City. The food was incredible as expected, the host was funny and the atmosphere cozy. Cannot wait to take our kids with us in August when we are married for 23 years.
A wonderful Christmas experience!

5.00My family of 5 went on the Christmas Twinkling lights tour, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The bus is beautifully laid out, delicious food and drink set on the tables, very friendly and helpful staff too. A special mention to Holly, she was wonderful, an excellent tour guide who made the tour very interesting throughout. The other staff were fantastic too. Thanks to all for a wonderful evening out in the city, I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, it's well worth it.

2.00This tour is an expensive waste of money! Tour does not cover much area in Dublin. The food is poor unless you love cranberries and deviled eggs. Scones and other pastries are bland with little to no flavor. Other guests are loud. Telling children on board. Two stars for the staff who were nice and professional. Avoid this tour

5.00I had the privilege of getting to take my lovely mother on the Twinkling Lights Trip with Vintage Tea Tours. We were very well looked after by the brilliant staff members (we can only remember Asa and Anna by name, sorry!) and the entire trip was not only very informative but also incredibly beautiful. It was such a unique experience to get to be a part of and we have nothing but good things to say about it. Thank you for having us! Love from New Zealand 💛
magical, memorable, and full of heart. 🎄✨

5.00We recently did the Vintage Tea Trips Dublin – Christmas Twinkling Lights Trip, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The Christmas vibes were unreal — magical lights, festive atmosphere, and such a cozy, joyful experience. It was the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit, especially as a family. The staff truly made the trip unforgettable. Nicole, Anna, Alek, and Paddy were all fantastic — so friendly, welcoming, and great with the kids. You can really tell they love what they do, and that energy carries through the whole experience. We brought our kids, aged 8 and 3, and they absolutely loved it. From the decorations to the music and treats, it kept them engaged the entire time. They’re already asking when we can do it again, which says it all! This trip is perfect for both tourists and locals looking for something special and festive to do in Dublin. Whether you’re visiting the city or have lived here your whole life, this is a must-do Christmas experience. We can’t recommend Vintage Tea Trips enough — magical, memorable, and full of heart. 🎄✨
Fun Christmas experience for the whole family.
