Overview

This 1-hour Hurling Tour involves giving tourists a presentation informing them about the sport. We delve into the history of Hurling and how it has evolved into the fastest field game in the world, that we see today. This is all done in a Hurling team's dressing room in Kilkenny City, giving tourists that up-close, intense experience. Once tourists are up-to-date on the basics of the game, we take them on to the field to try a few basic skills for themselves. This is the part that has proved most popular, with guests eager to get immersed in the Irish culture.

So many highlights on the Insight Tour in Ireland, but this was a real treat. His talk to explain everything about hurling and what fun to be on the field actually playing hurling with the hurling player. It's harder than it looks.

I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. James was very personable and informative teaching all in the group a few basic hurling techniques. Everyone seemed to enjoy it even those who had never heard of hurling. Don’t miss this if you are in the area.
