Craic On Travels Reviews 

What an incredible trip through Vietnam with Craic on travels! From start to finish, everything was brilliantly organised, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Our leaders Mi and Ayla were outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and always enthusiastic, making every day enjoyable and stress-free.

What really made the trip special was the family vibe within the group. Everyone felt welcomed, included, and connected, creating friendships and memories that will last long after the trip ended. I couldn’t have asked for a better group adventure and would highly recommend it to anyone considering travelling Vietnam.

I had the best experience with craic in travels. We had a great tour guide Ayla who was like a friend to us by the end of the trip. I got to meet so many new people and we all got along so well I would highly recommend craic on travels and I will be traveling with them again in the future. Sooner rather than later

Great two weeks travelling around Vietnam! We went from Ho Chi Minh and all the way to Hanoi. A trip I will remember forever! Big thanks to Ayla and My! They were great tour leaders and make our trip so smooth.

Highly recommend this trip

Travelled to Vietnam with craic on travels in June and had the best time with Ayla and Mi. The best time was had and everything was seamless and went great. They were always there with any questions I had and nothing was a bother. We were well taken care of.
Had the best time seeing the beauty of Vietnam thanks to Ayla and Mi.

Had an amazing time during the June 2026 trip to Vietnam. Ayla our tour leader and Mi our local guide were brilliant! They were so fun, knowledgeable, helpful and just great craic :)

What can I say? A group of 14 strangers at the start of our adventure quickly turned into lifelong friends. After only a few hours together, we were already making memories, sharing laughs, and eventually saying some very emotional goodbyes with plenty of promises to meet up again!

Armeen was our tour guide and honestly, what a man! He was amazing from start to finish — the best craic, a brilliant singer, and an incredible photographer… he knows all the angles! He was so organised and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease right from the beginning.

Ayla was our tour leader and such an experienced traveller. She was always just a text away and more than happy to answer any questions we had. Every evening, Ayla sent us the itinerary for the next day with times, meeting points, activities, and what to bring. It was so helpful and made everything run smoothly while still allowing plenty of free time to enjoy ourselves.

I would highly recommend Craic on Travels, whether you’re travelling solo or with a friend. It’s such a safe, organised, and enjoyable way to travel and explore while meeting incredible people along the way

This was my first solo trip and I never felt more secure and safe with craic on travels. They took care of everything and also gave me a lovely first solo holiday to remember, as well as so many amazing connections with all the girls ❤️ would love to travel with them again someday!

I had a lovely experience with the Craic on Travels trip to The Philippines. The itinerary was excellent, we did major bucket list activities but also some nice wholesome activities like bracelet making. We also had quite a bit of free time in the afternoons which was great. The Philippines can be a bit difficult to navigate with all the different islands so a group tour is the perfect and stress free way to do it. Would go again in a heartbeat ❤️

This was my second trip with Craic On Travels, and once again, it completely exceeded my expectations. After travelling to Thailand in April 2025, I’ve just returned from the Philippines in April 2026 — and I’m still blown away by how incredible it was.

From the excursions to the accommodation and even the travel in between, everything was so well organised and enjoyable. The whole experience felt seamless, and I always felt comfortable, safe, and genuinely welcomed.

Last year, I travelled with Colin and Isabelle, whose passion for what they do really shines through in every detail. This year, I had the pleasure of travelling with Roisin as our group leader, and she was absolutely fantastic — so approachable, caring, and organised. As a solo traveller, she made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire trip.

Such an amazing and fulfilling experience — I couldn’t recommend Craic On Travels more. So amazing I’ve even booked a third trip with them later this year ! Thanks so much for the experience I will be forever grateful to have found a company like this !

This was my 2nd trip with Craic on and once again they never failed to impress. The trip was ran amazingly with our tour guides Roisin and Izzy who were the most helpful and kind leaders who looked after us so well. The trip left me with 19 new friends and was the most incredible experience! for anyone wanting to get away rather solo or with friends this is the company to go with. 100% will be doing another trip

Was a fantastic trip and got a lot done in 10 days, Isabelle is a lovely person and did a great job of making sure everyone felt comfortable and happy. Would go on another trip again 10/10🫶🏻

We enjoyed an amazingly well organised trip to the Philippines with craic on travels. Both of our guides, Roisin and Izzy were fabulous and took all the stress out of travelling for the group. Couldn’t recommend craic on travels more!!

I’ve just returned from the best trip to the Philippines with Craic on Travels. From the start Colin and Isabelle were so helpful with any questions I had. We had the best hosts, Roisin and Izzy. From the first day they made 18 strangers feel like best friends. Everything from start to finish was so well organised, plenty of activities but also lots of free time. Roisin and Izzy brought so much energy to the group.
I am so glad I went on this trip and would highly recommend using Craic on Travels. It was such an incredible experience and I’ve made best friends from it🤍 already thinking about the next trip!!

I had the best trip to the Philippines with Craic on. I met the best bunch of girls we all got on so well! Roisín and Izzy made the trip so stress free and so well organized. Couldn’t have asked for better, they were so sound and made sure everyone was always good and kept energy high throughout. Even on our downtime we spent it together.

Honestly it was such an unforgettable trip and I’ve made friends and memories for life🤩 so glad I picked Craic on and I will be going again! I highly recommend them!

I’ve just returned from the Island Escape Philippines trip and I’m honestly lost for words at how incredible it was. From the very beginning, Colin was amazing—always quick to answer any questions or concerns before the trip.
Roissin and Izzy, our tour guides, thought of absolutely everything and quickly became part of all the laughs and memories we shared as a group.
If you’re thinking about booking, just go for it—you won’t regret it. I’ve made friends for life!

This is my second time travelling with Craic On Travels and once again, it was an incredible experience!

Isabelle and Colin create the most special and unique trips, including activities and stays that you wouldn't get on your usual group trip (like our stay at Tsumugu Guesthouse!) and because of this, they bring together such a lovely bunch of people to share the experience with! All of our activities in Japan were so thoughtfully put together, creating an itinerary that really gave us a sense of the country and the culture. Isabelle also had a few surprises up her sleeve that truly showed how much she cares about the trips she provides!

Our local guide, Taiga, was also a dream! He was so passionate about Japan, answered any questions we had and got involved in all of our activities, even our 5 hour long karaoke session! It wouldn't have been the same without him, he was such an integral part of our trip!

I highly recommend Craic On Travels, whether you're a seasoned traveller or just starting out on your journey! Their way of travelling can suit such a range of people, helping you form close connections and make friends for life all whilst seeing such a beautiful country! I'll definitely be travelling with them again :)

My first trip with Craic On exceeded every expectation I had and then some. I originally came across them on TikTok, saw a video about a Japan trip, and booked it on impulse. Honestly, if you are even half thinking about it, just go for it. It is the kind of decision you will thank yourself for later.

The itinerary struck the perfect balance between iconic sights and meaningful cultural experiences. Of course, you see the must visit spots, but what really sets it apart are the moments you would never plan on your own. Staying in a traditional farmhouse was a standout experience and gave a genuine insight into local life that you simply cannot replicate with a standard trip.

A huge part of what made the trip so special was our local guide, Taiga. He was incredible, knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely felt like one of the group rather than just a guide. It made everything feel more relaxed and authentic.

I have done solo travel before, but nothing quite like this. It is not really solo travel in the traditional sense. You arrive not knowing anyone, but very quickly you are surrounded by people who feel like old friends. By the end, you leave with a whole new circle of people and shared memories that make the experience even more meaningful.

Another massive credit goes to Isabelle, who went above and beyond throughout the trip. She had so many thoughtful surprises along the way that kept things exciting, and she created such a positive atmosphere for everyone. On a personal note, she was incredibly supportive during a few moments where I struggled with heights, which made a real difference and helped me fully enjoy the experience.

If I had to sum it up, this trip was more than just travel, it was the full craic. I will definitely be booking another trip, and I would recommend it to anyone considering it. Go on, take the leap. It might just be the best one you make.

It was my 1st time travelling with craic on travels and l with knowing what the itinerary is which I personally like as it certainly helps take the pressure off trying to figure it out on what we do and where we go, the whole experience exceeded beyond imagination of how good it was, Isabelle led the trip along with the ever so impressive and amazing tour guide tiaga and you couldn’t of met such wonderful and formative people both in professionalism and kindness, without them the trip would of never been as amazing as they made the dream of experiencing Japan one to remember for a lifetime and look back on it smiling and laughing with so many great memories, that plus along with the group I was with who were amazing people to get to know and share this experience with I couldn’t recommend enough of both taiga the tour guide for future tours and craic on travels itself, I hope to go on more adventures in the future with craic on.

I’m honestly blown away by my experience with Craic On Travels. I had never done a trip like this before and showed up not knowing a single person. By the end, I left with 10 new best friends and a full year of travel plans to keep the adventure going. Our guide was incredible and every part of the trip went beyond what I expected. 11 out of 10, I will absolutely be traveling with COT again.

I just got back from an unforgettable trip to Japan with Isabelle and our local guide, Taiga—and I’m still in awe of the experience they created. Every detail of the itinerary felt intentional, blending culture, adventure, and genuine connection in such a seamless way.
What really stood out was the atmosphere they created: safe, welcoming, and full of kind, like-minded people. It felt like being part of something special.
It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m so grateful to have been part of it. Can’t wait for my next adventure with Craic on Travels. - Maeve
