Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were in London for 5 days and Dublin for 4 days sightseeing and experiencing each city. The Experience Gaelic Games was #1 on everyone's best day list. We had our kids (22 and 25) with their significant others and it was so much fun. The staff was wonderful and so very kind and knowledgeable. This experience is a must if you have sporting enthusiasts. Our family loves to learn about the culture of the cities we visit and this hit the mark! Well done Experience Gaelic Games!

Everyone who likes sport should absolutely try this while in Ireland. You get to try 3 irish sport in the best way possible. The "class" is really hands on, and really well explained. You get to play a match too. It was really fun. I totally recommend. Neil and Paul were great with us, thank you guys for everything.

Experience Gaelic Games is an amazing experience for any age group. Small groups or big groups, they do it all! I have never heard of local sports in Ireland and now I have a very good understanding of the cultural and historical relevance the games have to the passionate culture here in Ireland.

Brilliant experience and more than well catered for a stag do from Cardiff, with all the participants coming away telling how much they enjoyed the experience. All the team at Experience Gaelic Games were brilliant and made the whole thing a great laugh, fun and educational about the games and their history and culture within Ireland. I'd say it's a must do if you are going to visit Ireland / Dublin.

It’s tough to find an activity (3 boys, two parents) that gets us all engaged. But this certainly hit the spot. We not only got an insight into the games themselves (hurling, football and handball) but also into its significance within the Irish community. We really enjoyed having a go at the sports and the team made us feel very welcome, tailoring the experience from us adults down to my 6 year old.
Thanks heaps guys!
