What You May See
Belfast packs an incredible amount of history into a relatively small city, and our Routemaster gives you a fantastic view of it.
Titanic Quarter
We head towards Belfast’s famous waterfront and the historic shipyard area where Titanic was designed and built.
Belfast City Hall
Back in the heart of the city, look out for the magnificent City Hall — one of Belfast’s most recognisable buildings.
Queen’s University & South Belfast
The scenery changes as we travel towards Queen’s University and through one of the city’s most attractive historic districts.
The Peace Wall & West Belfast
We take a brief dip into West Belfast for a glimpse of the famous Peace Wall and the stories behind an area known around the world.
Crumlin Road Gaol
Our journey continues past one of Belfast’s most imposing historic buildings, with a remarkable story stretching back more than 150 years.
From Crumlin Road we make our way back towards the city centre, with plenty more Belfast stories along the way. The exact route may occasionally change because Belfast is a busy city and traffic, road closures, parades or major events can affect individual departures.

Your Afternoon Tea
A proper afternoon tea is served onboard while you travel, with a selection of sweet and savoury treats and hot and cold drinks. Full menu details will be shown on the website and during booking.
Dietary Requirements
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options can be requested in advance. Please tell us about dietary requirements when booking so we can prepare the correct afternoon tea for your group.
If you have an allergy or medical dietary requirement, please contact us before booking. Food is prepared and handled in environments where allergens may be present, so we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free experience.
Important Information
- Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure.
- Our Routemaster needs to leave on time and unfortunately cannot wait for late arrivals.
- Guests must remain seated while the vehicle is moving and follow instructions from our team.
- Tables are allocated according to booking and group size, and some may be shared.
- This is a genuine heritage vehicle, so expect a little movement and please take care when using the steps.
Accessibility
Due to the historic design of the 1963 Routemaster, accessibility is more limited than on a modern passenger vehicle. Please contact us before booking if anyone in your group has mobility, accessibility or additional assistance requirements.
