At Vintage Tea Trips we pride ourselves on being a break from reality. A nostalgic place where the kettle is on, our hosts share stories of their beautiful city and while we take a jaunt around Dublin we have the laugh. We love that everyone feels welcome on board and leaves our biscuit tin on…

  So we got our team of hosts together on a Sunday evening after a busy day on the buses to visit the Wax Museum and do their Murder Mystery Tour.  Now I had never been to the wax museum so I had no idea what to expect. I was in for a treat. We…

Jean At the start of 2023 we launched the newest member to our fleet – Jean. Jean is our third bus and like her sisters Pauline & Kitty is a refurbished Routemaster bus. With even more mod cons and upgrades – think on board oven and brand new sound system (goodbye CDs and hello Spotify)…

Are you looking for something fun and interactive to do in Dublin on cold winter nights? Maybe a date night or an evening with the gals?  On a cold November evening, after a hard day’s work, myself and Dara made our way into town to do the ‘Forge your own Ring’ workshop with Silver works….

  The GPO or General Post Office is one of the most important buildings in all of Irish history. It is the central post office here in Dublin and although it provides great postal service, that’s not what it is best known for. It served as the headquarters for the leaders of the 1916 Easter…

  This week we had the wonderful Georgia joining us for her TY Work experience. We sent her down to the docklands to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum! This museum is the home to many great stories of Irish importance. It showcases the struggles and successes of the Irish population both within our small island and abroad. Upon arriving at the museum you receive your own individual Epic passport! As you make your way through each section of the tour, you can collect a new stamp for your passport from one of the designated stations. This creates a fun interactive experience and feels as if you are on a journey through the past of Irish history. The passport also acts as a guide to show you what you have done and where to go next. So you never get lost!

It has been a long long time since I visited Christchurch Cathedral, not since I was a child! It must be said, I wasn’t nearly as interested back then as I am now! I was overdue a visit to brush up on my history! Sitruic Silkenbeard built the first church on this site almost 1000…

Back in June, when the sun was shining and it felt like summer, myself and my lovely boyfriend Robert went to do the Viking Splash! I have been trying to convince him to do it with me for years! It had always peaked my interest! DUKW’s full of children and tourists sporting viking horns and frightening…

So last week myself and two of my colleagues, Adam and Kiera, went to Celtic Nights at the Arlington Hotel and honestly it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. I had known of it but not known too much about it at the same time, so I didn’t know what to…

  Last month I got the opportunity to go down to Cork for the day for a bit of a ‘date’ with the city and spend some time getting to know its sights for our trip down at the end of March! My first stop was to visit Shandon Bells & Tower at St. Anne’s…
