When I was going from store to store to find the perfect feminine dress, of course people wanted to know what the occasion was. Me, excitedly: “It’s a tea party!” Them, amused at that point: “Ohh…okay, nice!” I was all smiles because we were getting ready for Tea Around Town Dallas and that’s no regular tea party. Nothing regular about it. Here is my honest Tea Around Town review!

What is Tea Around Town by TopView?
Tea Around Town is what I would call the ultimate feminine experience. Picture a literal tea party, but on wheels with food and live entertainment all while exploring the city. The tour takes place on a beautifully decorated double decker bus and has a specified route where the tour guide displays different attractions/scenery throughout the city while also singing live.
What to Expect at Arrival
It is recommended by TopView on their website as well as when you purchase your tickets to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure. I had to reiterate this point because they also state that they cannot hold the tour for anyone that may be late so that’s helpful to keep in mind! We arrived a little before the bus so we were able to see the pink carpet being laid out for onboarding. It was very exciting to see everyone in their tea party-themed attire and even more exciting when we saw the bus pulling up!
The ticket scans through the TopView app were quick and easy. Then we were allowed ten minutes for any photos and videos that we wanted in front of the bus before boarding. Then we were greeted by one of the team members who helped us onto the second level where we saw the gorgeous decor and food awaiting us at our private tables along with our Tea Around Town tumblers (that you get to keep)!
The Tea Around Town Experience
As soon as you board the bus, the Bridgerton-style music throws you into tea party mode! We were all, again, beyond excited! After departure, the servers started to bring tea samples (you can taste up to 3 samples during your ride) as well as different cuisines for us to try throughout the tour. Both of the servers as well as the tour guide were all full of personality and made the experience even more fun. I think that I can safely speak for everyone onboard when I say that we all thoroughly enjoyed the ride! For reference, the tour lasts approx. 75 minutes.
Is Tea Around Town Worth It?
At the time of this post, a Luxe ticket (includes an enhanced menu, spring delight mocktail, and Priority Boarding) starts at $99 and a Petite ticket starts at $69. For an experience as unique and fun as this one, I would say it is 100% worth it (and I always give fair reviews).
Tea Around Town is perfect for a cute girls day out, birthday celebration, bridal shower…I can go on but it is definitely something special that you would not forget. So grab your cutest pink or floral dress and let me know if you decide to board!
