Review of Dublin’s Afternoon Tea Bus Tour, with vintage buses, fresh scones, city sights, practical tips, and honest value advice.

Ride a 1960s Routemaster through London with afternoon tea, fresh sandwiches, pastries, landmark views, and practical tips before booking.
“Lovely food and service! The scones were delicious ! We had a difficult time hearing the narration, of course people were chatting too. They don't let you choose to sit on the top or bottom tables on the bus. It would be good to be able to know how the seating is decided and to be offered a choice. Overall it was a fun experience.”

Ride Edinburgh in a vintage red bus while enjoying afternoon tea, sweet treats, unlimited tea or coffee, and city views.
“It was a great way to be introduced to Edinburg. The atmosphere on the bus was very friendly, our driver Stuart and young people (Adan and the young lady) that served us sandwiches and pastries were very welcoming and helpful. The bus drove around the city and on our way we were able to see some major attractions and old monuments. It was fun, delightful and memorable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone as an introduction to the great city.”

Review of Glasgow’s afternoon tea bus tour, with vintage Routemaster sightseeing, sandwiches, scones, sweets, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

Review of London’s Buckingham Palace, sightseeing bus, and afternoon tea tour, with timing, value, crowds, audio guide, and practical tips.
“Magnificent opulence. Well organised. Lots to see. Audio guide pretty good. Surprisingly reasonably priced cafe at the end. The tour ends at the back of the palace overlooking the gardens but you aren't allowed to wander around them. Garden tour was available but at extra cost - it seems you need to book this extra at the same time as your visit to the Palace rooms, there wasn't a possibility to purchase at the end of the Palace tour. Our visit took a couple of hours.”
Enjoy traditional afternoon tea beneath the British Museum’s glass roof, with loose-leaf teas, scones, sandwiches, and optional Prosecco.
“A great spot to have afternoon at an affordable price. let security know you're there for tea otherwise you have to wait in a long line to enter as it's in the British Museum on the 3rd floor. Take stairs or a lift.”
Pick a room, a ridge, a factory floor or a trolley.
