This tour was amazing! The actors were great!. The day we went there were no male actors available and they almost cancelled the tour. The young woman that filled in had never done the male role before. She was amazing as well as the other young woman. The tour was very educational as well as entertaining. We would definitely do this again.
Make sure you eat before the tour. This was an interesting and informative tour by two young actors that are passionate about the history of the uprising in 1916. I do feel that they could take the tour to a new dimension and it would be rated higher. It was a very good realistic version of the whole history of the one event, but maybe more information on events prior to and immediately after would have made it more complete. It somewhat leaves you hanging. Way to much info on the individual characters.
