It was great to learn from scratch the game of Hurling and Camogie. Being able to have first hand experience from our two experienced coaches was fabulous. Also tying out some of the basic skills of Hurling made it so much easier to understand and it was so much fun! Watching the replay of the 2012 Hurling Grand final (Kilkenny... More

My wife and I were the only two in the class when we went for our Kilkenny Way experience. We knew nothing about hurling other than the fact that Irish people worship the sport. Without explaining each step of the excursion (you can read about it on www.thekilkennyway.com), I'll just say that we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We spent over 3... More

While it would not be in the nature of myself to go on such a trip i was tagged along to join, Jim was a great guide and knew even some dutch ! we all did have a lot of fun from children to adults. If you like to learn more about Hurling you should really take this experience.

Was in town with a group of guys and girls and we went and did the tour. It was a great little piece of history, and really fun learning how to play as well. Even though one of our friends thought that the sticks were made of "ash trays" instead of ash trees, all of our friends had a blast.... More

I was apart of a large group of students studying abroad in Ireland in 2012. Everyone got a historical and hands on experience that brought us all closer to the Irish culture and traditions. Jim especially was a fantastic teacher and was extremely passionate about the sport of hurling. I believe anyone is able to learn the sport as well... More

I studied abroad in Ireland during the month of January this year and we visited Kilkenny and Jim taught us how to hurl. The experience was unreal, we had so much fun and we were able to learn so much about Irish culture through hurling. I recommend anyone, interested in sports or not, to experience this. When I go back... More

Jim and Colum were very passionate about hurling. Our family (our children are 8 & 10 y.o.) had a lot of fun with "hands-on" learning about hurling at a local pitch. Afterwards, we enjoyed a nice and hearty meal. Great value for money spent. Go and try this unique experience!

"Coach" Jim has put together something very special and unique. His love for the sport and his pride in his city bleed throughout the eintire session. I took this course with a group of friends and it ended up being probably the VERY BEST THING during out week long trip through Ireland. No other attraction made me get a "Feel"... More
