You can now do a tour of Dublin city centre on a super pretty vintage Routemaster bus whilst enjoying afternoon tea!! Been wanting to experience this ever since I heard about it and eventually booked it for the Sunday of St Patrick's weekend.
The bus, named Pauline, is a 1961 bus that used to be a London bus and then an artist's studio.
The bus picked us up from the CHQ Building. We took in Merrion Square, Fitzwilliam Square, Stephen's Green, St Patricks Cathedral, Christchurch, Guinness Brewery, Phoenix Park and O'Connell Street.
I had rosé wine tea and we made our way through sandwiches, scones and sweet treats. The sandwiches were egg, cucumber with cream cheese and chive, roast beef with horseradish and tomato paste and a wrap with smoked salmon and lettuce. The scones were super fresh. The little muffin was sour apple. The chocolate cup was totally edible and was filled with a lovely mousse. The madeleine cake was so moist.

The crockery was super pretty.
The roads in Dublin are not in great shape so the ride was a little bumpy. The muffins took a dive on more than one occasion.
This is run by Vintage Tea Tours. The afternoon tea was delicious. What a brilliant and unique touristy experience!!
