3.00Lots of history in the show but a bit cheesy. Almost like an elementary school play. Also if you’re going to talk about delicious bread with stew maybe serve bread with the stew.
Laugh yourself smarter!

5.00Great lighthearted experience going through highlights of cork-specific and Irish-general history, engaging actors in whimsical costumes; tasty food (catering to dietary requirements - I am vegan and they made a very creative loaded salad topped with Irish potato patties - delicious!) catchy original music, and funny short skits through 1000 years of cork development. Convenient and great ambience, nice chance to mingle with other tourists , actors stayed to chat afterwards too. Recommended!
Fantastic!
