Great stag activity - We had a great time learning to play Gaelic sports as part of a 14-man stag party. This was the perfect activity and, even in the rain, we had unbelievable craic. The coaches were very patient but facilitated really fun games that suited our ability. We got a great feel for what these sports represent in the Irish culture and we enjoyed the Guinness in the bar afterwards. Thank you so much!

A meaningful, active, and unforgettable Irish experience - Our family had an incredible experience with the Gaelic Games Experience in Dublin. It was a unique opportunity to actively engage with Irish history, culture, and tradition in a way that was both fun and genuinely meaningful. The session struck a perfect balance between energetic participation and more contemplative moments that helped us better understand the deeper cultural importance of the games. Joe was an exceptional instructor: patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled at meeting everyone where they were, regardless of age or athletic background. He created an environment that was welcoming, encouraging, and engaging from start to finish. This is far more than a typical tourist activity. It is hands-on, authentic, and memorable. I would strongly recommend this experience to active families, teams, or any group looking for a thoughtful and immersive way to connect with Irish culture.

Gaelic Games immersion experience. - We went while we were in Dublin for the US College football game. We had a good time, learned so much about not only the sports but the culture. We got to try our hand at hurling and Irish football. We have a great appreciation for the athletes that play these games- truly talented. the staff that explained and showed us what to do were great.

Highlight of our Dublin trip - We had an absolute blast and it was the highlight of our trip to Dublin. We booked a private group and had Jack as our guide, he was a wealth of knowledge and really made the experience for us. 10/10 would recommend, it’s a great way to learn about Irish sport and culture while getting moving and doing something unique. Now I need to buy a Hurley!

Incredible Experience! - It wasn’t listed as an option here, but we went in Cork. Our host/instructor Shane was amazing. He was enthusiastic, patient and informative. We went with a group of children, teens, adults and grandparents and everyone loved it. We would highly recommend trying this. We even went to a hurling match to cheer on Shane’s club St. Finnbarr’s.
