Craic On Travels Reviews 

Just back from ‘India - The Diwali Experience’ trip with Craic on Travels! Congrats to Colin on leading his first ever group trip 🙌 Craic on Travels were amazing, from start to finish! I’ve met incredible people over the two weeks and made friends for life from the trip. Colin and Isabelle went to great efforts to make this such a wholesome experience with opening circles/games to begin the trip, closing circles/games to end the trip, fun activities to keep us entertained on the bus journeys and an opportunity to write messages to one another as a keepsake at the end of the trip! I couldn’t have imagined a better group to travel India with - Craic on Travels deserve all the hype they get! They’re so knowledgeable and passionate about what they do 👏

I had the most amazing trip with craic on travels, from the beginning to the end. By the time it was over , I just wanted the week to start all over again! Colin and Isabelle are so kind and have such amazing friendly, positive energy. I loved the structure of everything and the free time in between. You meet the most incredible- like minded people that by the end of it you won’t believe you were all only strangers days prior.

Big shoutout to Colin on his first solo led trip and for taking us all around India and being such a great guide on the most amazing trip that gave me memories I’ll cherish forever- with the best group of people! Couldn’t recommend craic on travels enough to anyone , can’t wait for Japan :)

I recently went to India with Craic on Travels on the Diwali experience. As someone who has solo traveled previously I have always wanted to go to India but didn’t feel confident going solo. When I seen the group trip advertised I jumped at the chance to go and I’m so glad I did!!

From the jam packed itinerary, amazing hosts and authentic cultural experience I’m so grateful to Colin and Isabelle for the time and effort they put into planning this trip. Their continuous support through out the trip in answering all of our many questions and concerns put us all at ease and allowed us to have the most amazing trip from start to finish.

I know myself and the group I done the India trip with are eagerly waiting to see what trips craic on travels have in store for 2026, I have no doubt we will all be back on board again.

Whether you have always solo traveled or even if you’ve never left the country I’d highly recommend going with Craic on Travels, I can’t fault any aspect of the experience! You won’t regret it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Genuinely one of the best trips I’ve been on, not only were the places we visited absolutely amazing but the environment in which Colin and Isabelle created led to everyone in the group gelling so well and I’ve definitely made friendships for life.
Big shout out to Colin on his first time leading a group solo, he did incredible and I hope this trip gives him a lot of confidence in his abilities.
I’ll definitely be joining another trip next year. Can’t wait.

Going to The Philippines with craic on travels was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had abroad. I met some of the kindest and most friendly people who I’d now consider genuine friends. Our tour guide Izzy was a legend who provided us with so much information, care and laughs. Isabelle and Colin were so good at organising our trip, making us all feel comfortable so far away from home and they’re just an all round sound and lovely people. As for the actual Philippines experience itself I still don’t have the words to explain how amazing it was. We did so many activities and saw so many beautiful sights but it didn’t feel jam packed or overwhelming in the slightest. I can’t recommend this experience and all the gorgeous people involved enough!

If I could give more stars, I would. I was terrified to solo travel in south east Asia at the age of 28 and thought it would ease me in by starting off with a group. Best decision I’ve ever made. I had the time of my life. A wonderful bunch of strangers brought together through a love of travel. Ages, interests, personalities of all sorts and made some friends I’ll never forget (not easy in your late twenties). I can’t thank Isabelle and Colin enough for all the effort they put into our trip to the Philippines, it was unbelievable the amount we saw and how we saw it. There’s no way I could’ve planned a trip as thorough. There were 2 people on my trip that had been with CoT before and they came back for more, as I’m sure I will.
The cherry on top of this experience was our local guide, Izzy, who not only had us in knots of laughter the entire time, but had such great knowledge of everywhere we went. When we had our free evenings he always had great recommendations for food&drinks, and any time anyone needed anything ad hoc (pharmacy, eSIM, laundry etc) he knew exactly how to assist. It was a big comfort having him there. I can hand on heart say this will be something I talk about for the rest of my life and will encourage everyone I ever meet to book a trip with a bunch of strangers through Craic on Travels, they know what they’re doing, they give back to the local communities, they want you to have a great time and they make sure you do. Thank you Craic on Travels!

This was my second tour with Craic On, and once again, they completely exceeded my expectations—this time in the stunning Philippines. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and brilliantly executed.
Isabelle and Colin are a dream team—professional, incredibly organised, and genuinely kind-hearted. They create a welcoming, adventurous environment where everyone feels included and inspired. The local guide, Izzy, was an absolute ray of joy! His energy was infectious, and his food recommendations were spot on—he truly added something special to the experience.
The trip was the perfect mix of adrenaline-pumping activities, jaw-dropping scenery, and meaningful cultural connections. What I really appreciate about Craic On is their deep respect for the local places and people we visit—it never feels like we’re just passing through, but like we’re engaging in something truly meaningful.
If you're considering a group trip and want a mix of adventure, connection, and authenticity, I honestly cannot recommend travelling with Craic On enough. Already dreaming of my next one!

I recently travelled to the Philippines with Craic on Travels, and it was truly an amazing experience. The accommodations were top tier, far better than what I had managed to organise on my own previous trips. Everything was perfectly planned, which meant I could just relax and enjoy myself without worrying about logistics.
Izzy, our group leader, was an absolute gem. He’s such a unique, kind soul and brought so much to the trip, his energy and personality made the experience even more special. We also got the best food recommendations thanks to him, which really added to the adventure.
Isabelle was another highlight of the team. She’s the sweetest soul and quickly became a friend to everyone. She was approachable, helpful, and always there to answer any questions or queries.
I felt safe, cared for, and completely stress-free throughout the whole trip. It was such a refreshing way to travel, and I’m already considering booking another adventure with this fabulous organisation.
Highly recommend Craic on Travels to anyone looking for a well-organised, fun, and unforgettable holiday!

I could not recommend Craic on Travels more if I tried!!
I have just traveled the Philippines with Craic on travels and it was the most amazing experience. Isabelle and Colin had everything planned and so organised, we had a change in schedule due to a Typhoon which we did not even notice. I have never felt so at ease putting my trust into a company from the weeks leading up to the trip & during the trip, they couldn’t have been more helpful. I met some of the most amazing people on this trip who I’ll remember for a life time, the execrations was amazing and I don’t think they genuinely could have done anything different that would have made this better than it already was. I cannot to see more parts of the world with Craic On Travels. Special shout out to our tour guide Izzy, his knowledge and energy simply cannot be topped.

I travelled to the Philippines with Craic On Travels and I could not recommend them more! I’m already scheming to get on another tour ASAP! Both Isabelle and Colin are fantastic, from their experience and knowledge of the country, their patience and kindness with any queries (even months before the trip began!) and their fabulous karaoke skills! The trip was very well planned with a perfect mix of scheduled activities and free time. I could never have organised any trip as well if I tried to do it myself. The local guide, Izzy, was extraordinary and really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time! If you’re thinking about travelling with Craic On Travels, stop thinking and just book - you won’t regret it!

My 2nd review but I couldn’t keep my experience to myself. We have just had the most amazing 2 weeks exploring the Philippines with Isabelle from Craic On and Izzy our tour guide. Big shout out to them for reorganising some of the trip for 18 of us the morning of a typhoon - none of us noticed but I’m sure this was no easy task.

I have made unforgettable memories and most importantly have met the most amazing group of people who I will be forever grateful I have met! Looking forward to seeing you all again so soon!

The Craic on Travel trip I took to the Philippines was everything I was looking for and more. Worth every cent. Less than a day with Isabelle and our local guide, Izzy, and I (a stubbornly independent gal) felt totally at ease being carried along on this amazing adventure, thanks to the spectacular organisation and reassuring guidance of the Craic on team.

I'm already trying to figure out when I can fit my next trip in with them, as I continue my travels of SEA with some of the friends I made on the trip.

P.S. if Izzy is ever your local guide, just let him pick every meal for you, he never misses.

Isabelle and Colin are just such lovely, kind hearted people. You can see how much effort and love they put into each and every trip. I’m just back from a trip with them in the Philippines and it was the trip of a lifetime. I’m so happy I decided to conquer my fears of travelling solo and went on a trip with Craic on travels. Everything was planned so well, we saw the most beautiful places and did the most amazing activities that I will never forget. It was so nice being a part of this trip as there was no stress as everything was planned so well. I made such amazing friends on this trip and we already have plans to travel together in the future. Izzy our other tour guide was just so amazing, he gave us the great recommendations for food and the best places to go. We were so grateful to have him on our trip. Honestly can’t recommend them enough!! 🫶🏻❤️

Isabelle and Colin are two of the nicest people I have ever met. Craic on travels is so well organized and so welcoming and friendly. Genuinely one of the best experiences of my life cannot thank them enough for what they do. Made memories and friends for life. As someone who was so scared to go if you are thinking about it just do it you will not regret it. The Philippines trip was filled with fun, laughter and authenticity. Special shout out to the tour guide Izzy who showed us the most beautiful places and gave so much knowledge about the Philippines. He was truly one in a million. Definitely will be going on another trip with them.

Worth every cent (and more).I went on the Tanzania and Zanzibar trip. I’ve never had an experience anything like this. The organisation and high standards of the holiday made it amazing. Everyone was so kind and inclusive. The week and a half was so jam packed full of fun and interesting things to do. One of the highlights was getting to visit a charity, perfect vision, and seeing their programs and their outreach. This is part of trips that craic on travels run that just makes it that much better then the rest! To be honest I could write an essay about how unbelievable this trip was start to finish 😁. If you are thinking of going with them, stop thinking, go! You will not regret it. To sum up I will forever look back at my experience as the best of my entire life, the only thing that will top it if I’m blessed with the opportunity to join craic on travels on another trip😊

Climbing Kilimanjaro with Craic On Travels was an incredible experience. Colin and Isabelle had everything perfectly organised and were so kind and supportive throughout. Truly a trip of a lifetime and I will definitely book with Craic on Travels again!

The trip was fantastic. Colin and Isabelle went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good time. Craic on Travels really attracts the best people too. Would highly recommend

I climbed Kilimanjaro with Craic on Travels and could not be happier with my experience. Colin and Isabelle are excellent at what they do and the trips they organise attract such lovely like minded people. Couldn’t recommend more!

Recently went on my second and third Craic On trip to do Kilimanjaro and to go on Safaris and to Zanzibar. Colin and Isabelle are an absolute dream duo, with a jam packed, perfect itinerary with everything thought of. The group dynamics and atmosphere is a true testament to what Colin and Isabelle bring to their trips, adding the ‘craic’ to the trips. They truly go out of their way to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing ❤️

I went on the Tanzania safari and Zanzibar trip with Craic on Travels this September. It was an absolutely breathtaking and incredible place and experience altogether. Colin and Isabelle went above and beyond to make sure that this trip was enjoyable for us all, they really looked after us. Such a lovely group of people were brought together here and I would highly recommend a trip with them! I am hoping to go on another myself!
