I travelled to the phillipines with Craic on Travels and could not recommend them enough. Isabelle is such an amazing host and takes such good care of the group. We had the most brilliant tour guide... See more

Trip of a lifetime
Craic on Travels really does bring the craic on travels. Colin & Isabelle outdid themselves with their India trip. I will be forever grateful to them for such a great itinerary. We went for Holi festival. Their kind, friendly & open, honest approach helped keep the whole group safe while having the time of our lives. Adequate breaks and stops were facilitated for the group on long travel days. We covered so much ground in such a short time, I’m still shook we saw and did so much! Nothing was an issue and no question was too large or too small. I would recommend taking a trip with Craic on Travels to explore new countries & make new friends for life! Thank you both :)
Amazing trip from start to finish ❤️
I recently traveled to Guatemala with Craic on Travels, and I can honestly say this trip exceeded all my expectations.
From the breathtaking views and incredible activities to the plenty of chill days to read and soak up the sunshine, every moment was memorable! We also connected with local charities and learned about Guatemala’s culture, including its trade practices, while meeting the friendly, hardworking locals. It was such a unique experience that I wouldn't have known or thought to do on my own without this travel group.
Isabel and Colin are amazing at what they do. Their extensive knowledge of Guatemala made me feel safe and well looked after throughout the trip.
This journey was the perfect introduction to solo travel. I gained confidence, met so many people, and definitely made lifelong friends. I cannot recommend Craic on Travels enough. I’ll definitely be traveling with them again!
100% would recommend! Can't wait to book another trip!
I joined Craic On Travels for their February 2025 Guatemala trip. It truly was a trip of a lifetime! This was my first experience of solo traveling, I am so glad I chose to go with Craic On Travels. Isabelle and Colin planned the best trip, from the minute I paid the deposit I had zero concerns due to how attentive and organised they were. They really made me feel at ease throughout the entire trip and leading up to the trip. They provided the group with more than enough information and were always available to answer any questions the group had throughout the trip. The entire trip felt incredibly safe and so well planned. I cannot wait to book another trip with Craic On Travels. I highly recommend Craic On Travels to anyone looking to travel and explore new places and meet amazing new people!
TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!
I saw Craic on Travels on tiktok and immediately wanted to go as I knew they were Irish and loved the vibe. I knew nothing about Guatemala before going but just felt it was right to go and I’m so so glad I did as it EXCEEDED ALL expectations!! It was so so amazing to sit back relax and have everything organised (& organised so so sooo well!) I was able to truly enjoy Guatemala as I had no logistics to think about. Everyone was soooooo lovely. I’ve definitely met friends for life <3 As someone who can get bored easily, this trip had me busy at all times (with plenty of time to chill if needed too!) Each place was so diverse & such great options for activities as well as getting a real feel for the local people & charities.
Isabelle & Colin were AMAZING, they were always so enthusiastic, welcoming, helpful and went above and beyond with EVERYTHING!
I could not recommend Craic on Travels any more, everything from paying my deposit to leaving my hostel on the last day was so smoothly organised.
I’ve gone on a few small solo trips & found myself wanting to be part of the groups I saw travelling together so being able to meet & share this trip with like minded people has made it the most memorable fabulous experience I will never forget.
I definitely hope to join another Craic on Travels Trip soon ❤️❤️
I will 100% be booking another trip with them soon ❤️
I decided to go with Craic on Travels to Guatemala initially because they were an Irish company and the itinerary looked incredible! I am so glad I decided to do it with them as they exceeded all my expectations! Not only are Isabelle and Colin so so friendly, funny, good craic but they are amazing organisers! They really know what they are doing and the whole process was handled so well and quickly by them. Any questions I had (as a first time solo traveller I had a lot) they answered quickly and in detail and always reassured me. Once we were on the trip, everything went extremely smoothly because they had planned everything so well! They had a great balance of activities and down time to rest, relax, tan etc! They were always available if you had any queries about where to eat, shop, travelling to next place / home. They were beyond helpful and accommodating- I honestly couldn’t recommend them and this trip to Guatemala more 🧡 I think some people may have preconceptions about Guatemala but I felt so safe and it really is a beautiful country with loads of things to do and the people and food are amazing! It’s a brilliant way to meet new, like-minded people and create amazing new experiences and memories! I was slightly nervous going by myself but it’s the best thing I have ever done - so if you want to travel but are nervous to go solo I would highly recommend booking a trip with Craic on Travels!! I will 100% be booking another trip with them soon ❤️
My experience with Craic on Travels was…
My experience with Craic on Travels was amazing. It was truly a trip of a life time. The people I met on the trip were wonderful. The tour was incredible and I would never have done any of it by myself. Could not recommend them more. If you’re even just considering doing a trip with Craic on Travels, I would definitely say go for it. It was the best decision I’ve ever made
I went on a Craic On Travel trip…
I went on a Craic On Travel trip recently and had the most incredible time. I couldn’t recommend doing a group trip with Isabelle and Colin enough, they put so much care and attention into every detail of this trip which resulted in an incredible trip with the most amazing group of people where I formed strong connections, realised a lot about myself and went home feeling a new sense of direction in my life. They found a good balance between planned activities and lots of downtime so people could really do what suited them on the trip. They were always available with advice and recommendations, always with lots of energy and a bright smile, making everyone feel welcome and included.
This was my first group trip so I wasn’t too sure how it would go, but it was honestly so nice to be able to relax and appreciate someone else organizing the trip for me, especially in a country like India, which can be quite stressful to travel if you don’t know what you’re doing or where you’re going.
Ultimately I would 100% do a trip with Craic On Travel again and would absolutely recommend it to anyone else 🤗
Incredible group trip to India
I recently travelled to India for a group trip with Isabelle and it was honestly incredible! As Isabelle is such a lovely person, the people that she attracted onto this trip made it even more special.
The 10 days varied from the hustle and bustle of Delhi to the calm of Rishikesh (with a trip to the Taj Mahal inbetween), and I loved each element equally. The people, food and overall culture were so special to experience. Isabelle knew exactly what our group needed and planed the days so perfectly accordingly!
I feel by travelling with Isabelle and this group, I got to experience things I never would have got to experience otherwise. Isabelle’s knowledge of the places we went to made me feel so safe and I knew I could just relax and trust that I was in good hands. I loved that I got to experience things that I wasn’t even aware of as this really broadened my horizons!
I am so grateful for Isabelle for the time and love that she put into making this trip so special. It was so clear from the beginning that she paid so much attention to detail, and that she cared about every single element and every person on this trip.
Anyone could follow a draft itinerary for a trip to another country but this trip was different. You can tell Isabelle wanted each and every person to get as much out of it as possible and through the different experiences, moments of connection and safety felt, I feel I can speak for everyone when I say we did! And all of this was done whilst supporting local businesses and being respectful of culture at all times. Each element of this trip was planned and executed completely ethically.
As someone who struggles with the busyness of daily life and running a business etc, I can’t put into words how refreshing this trip was for me. I never would have had to time or headspace to plan this trip and had to knowledge to make it as special as Isabelle did. As Isabelle has spent so much time in India, she was able to plan lots of our travel, activities etc directly with locally providers, offering us the most authentic experiences.
This trip made me feel more grounded and connected to myself and the world around me. Although we were doing a lot at different parts of this trip, I feel truly refreshed and replenished, having spent 10 days with such wonderful people.
I would highly recommend any trips that Isabelle and Colin run. I can’t wait to explore more countries with Craic on travels!
