Craic On Travels Reviews 

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

Had such an Amazing experience travelling the Phillipines with craic on. Our guides Roisin and Izzy were Amazing and really made the trip an unforgettable experience ❤️

I attended the Uganda trip with Craic on Travels in March/April 2026 and had an incredible experience. The schedule was jam‑packed and we genuinely did everything we possibly could — every day was full and exciting from start to finish. Everything was very well organised, and our guides, Chris, Ibrah, and Ivan, were extremely knowledgeable and brilliant at spotting animals on safari. Special shout out to Chris for answering all of my (many!) questions throughout the trip. The group itself was amazing, with a great sense of community. I’d highly recommend Craic on Travels and would absolutely book with them again.

I recently just finished my first ever Craic On Travels trip to Uganda. I’m lucky enough to say I’ve done my fair share of travel over the last 10 years but this trip tops them ALL! From start to finish the trip was incredible. It was fun, perfectly paced, a good mix of adventure and culture. I’ve never seen so much wildlife in my LIFE!! And we were lucky enough to have some of the BEST tour guides who were incredibly knowledgeable on all things safari! (Shoutout to Chris, Ibra and Ivan) SUCH LEGENDS!! You can see how much love Isabelle and Colin put into planning these trips. I’ve made friends for life and it won’t be my last craic on travels adventure- that’s for sure!!

Just home from an amazing trip with Craic on Travels to Uganda. Everything was organised really well, and we got to do so much in the 11 days that we were there. Our local guides Chris, Ibrahim and Ivan were really helpful, knowledgeable and fun - Always happy to answer our many many questions!
The safari experience itself was incredible - We got to see gorillas, rhinos, chimpanzees, giraffes, zebras, pumbas and many more. We even got close to a lion thanks to Chris assessing where he would end up!
What really made the trip was all of the people on it. We had so much fun, and it genuinely felt like we knew each other a lot longer than the 11 days we spent together. The craic was craicing!
If you're thinking of booking on to one of their trips... do it!

My trip to Uganda was incredible. It was jam-packed with so many unique experiences from start to finish and I would highly recommend to anyone. Our tour lead (Robyn) and local guides (Chris, Ibrahim and Ivan) were outstanding. We had an amazing group and cannot wait to meet up again in the future.

This was my first group travel tour and I wasn’t sure how it was going to go but it quickly became clear that this was going to be a trip of a lifetime, which it was!!

Everyone in our group arrived at our first destination before the first official day and instead of leaving us at the lodge we were organised to go on a shoebill experience, this showed to me that Craic On Travels has a high attention to detail and tries to give us the best experience possible. Furthermore, our tour guides for the trip, Chris, Ibrah and Ivan were nothing but exceptional. They had an expansive knowledge about the local areas, cultures and were also able to answer any question about any animal and along with this they were very friendly and able to keep us entertained, especially on the 7+ hour travel days.

As a whole this trip was very extremely well organised and gave me a huge insight into different cultures in Uganda and also gave the experience of seeing wild animals in their natural habitat, and I am certain that because of this trip I will definitely be going somewhere else with Craic On Travels as well as visiting Uganda again.

This was most definitely the best trip of my life, between the amazing group, jam packed schedule with fantastic activities and the unbelievable guides. We were kept busy every day, with each day bringing even better activities and accommodations which we didn’t think was possible. The food was also unreal every place we ate! Chris, Ibrah and Ivan could not have been more attentive and even the 7 hour car journeys were great craic with them. I would highly recommend doing this trip with this company and these guides 100%.

Best trip of my life to Uganda! Everything made so easy with Craic on Travels and our three guides - Chris, Ibrah and Ivan. This was my first trip with Craic, and it won’t be my last 😊

I had an amazing time in Vietnam with Craic On Travels! I was so impressed by the thought and care that Isabelle and Colin have put into creating these trips with a focus on ethical travel and supporting local businesses. Everything was so well planned allowing us to see so much of this beautiful country in a relatively short time.

Our guides Roisin and Sunny ensured everything went smoothly as well as sharing stories and local knowledge that really brought the country to life. As well as getting to experience this amazing country, getting to share this experience with new friends was really special. I would highly recommend Craic On Travels and hope to travel again with them in the future!

Vietnam is an incredible destination to explore. Our guides, Roisín and Sunny ensured a smooth journey and created a positive atmosphere throughout the trip, whether it was the sharing of stories, playing games or singing songs!

I have just returned from travelling Vietnam with Craic on Travels. From start to finish all aspects of the trip were perfectly planned. Being able to see so much of a county in such a short amount of time was amazing. The trip allowed us to see so many different parts of Vietnam and make amazing friends and memories at every stop. Even the bus journeys were entertaining.
Thanks to our guides Sunny and Roisín, any questions or issues that we had were sorted so quickly. I would highly recommend travelling with Craic on Travels to anyone and I hope to do another trip with them soon.

Booking this trip is one of the greatest things I’ve ever done. I’m 20 years old, love to travel but had no one to go with so I decided to take a chance on Craic on Travels and I could not recommend them enough! The company itself is so well organised and helpful with anything you need, Isabelle and Colin have really done their research to create the best, most efficient travel experience possible. The whole trip is based around supporting local businesses and ethical practices to make a positive impression on the country. Our host Roisin was absolutely brilliant, couldn’t have asked for anyone better. So grateful for this experience <3

I got back from the Philippines a few days ago and haven’t stopped beaming since. This trip honestly exceeded my already sky high expectations of what I thought it was going to be!

I have done a lot of travel in the past and am usually the person booking and organising everything. This was my first group trip experience and having Isabelle and Colin take care of everything and be on hand for support gave me so much peace of mind allowing me to just fully enjoy the trip.

The itinerary was so perfect and gave us the chance to experience the best of what the Philippines has to offer with a perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. So many bucket list moments! Particularly the canyoneering and the sardine run.

The people I met on this trip will be my friends for life. The Craic On Travels culture enables everyone to be their authentic selves and form connections with people so effortlessly. I felt so safe and comfortable in the group instantly and did not stop laughing for 10 days!

This trip would not have been what it was without our amazing tour leader Shireen and tour guide Izzy. Their energy, support and care everyday just put us fully at ease. They both put their whole hearts into what they do and we felt it from beginning to end and after the trip too.

I am already so excited for my next trip with Craic On Travels!

Our tour in the Philippines finished a few days ago and I've been trying to think of the words to best recommend this trip to anyone considering a trip here or with Craic on Travels in general in the future.

The communication prior to the trip and reassurance given by Isabelle and Colin was incredible. They went above and beyond to ensure all concerns were addressed and everyone was prepared for an unforgettable trip.

The itinerary was fantastic, giving us so many highlight moments. Whether you are an adrenaline junkie or someone who prefers the more zen moments, there will 100% be something for you.

It's not just the big highlights that will stay with you though, it's the small, unexpected interactions that will stay with you forever too that make this trip special. It's the basketball in the rain, the debrief after a game of Wolf, it's coming out of the water to huddle around a phone and cheer on Ireland in the 6 Nations or lecture your tour leader on how she supports the wrong F1 team.

On this, I want to give a huge shoutout to our tour leader Shireen and local guide Izzy. They created an environment where everyone could be themselves and enjoy every moment of the trip, making incredible connections and I feel very lucky and privileged to be able to call them friends.

All in all I couldn't recommend travelling with Craic on Travels enough, especially this trip with Shireen and Izzy in the Philippines. It definitely won't be my last trip with Craic on Travels anyway !
Time to lick the stamp and send it - you won't regret it.

Just back from the Philippines with Craic on Travels and I honestly can’t put into words how good it was. Hands down the best thing I’ve ever done.

We got to see the most stunning parts in the Philippines such a short time, I actually can’t believe how much was packed in. From unreal places to amazing food and experiences, it never felt rushed but we still got so much out of it!!!

Massive thank you to our leader Shireen and local guide Izzy who were just the absolute best from start to finish. They were constantly checking in to make sure everyone okay and having an amazing time. The group started as strangers but I’ve honestly made friends for life, already missing everyone so much! I’ll never forget the laughs and memories we made.

Couldn’t recommend Craic on Travels enough, I’d go again in a heartbeat. Thanks Isabelle and Colin for making it all happen and I can’t wait to book the next one!! ❤️

I travelled to Thailand with Craic on Travels in February. The trip was amazing. Shireen and Armeen are great at what they do! Shireen is so helpful and Armeen was very informative during our excursions. They are both so friendly and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone interested!

Went to The beautiful Philippines with Craic on travels and had the BEST time! It wasn’t a holiday - it was the experience of a lifetime.

This amazing group of people that started out as strangers feel like a second family now, and our tour leader Shirin and local tour guide Izzy made us feel so safe and well taken cared of the whole trip.
They showed us some of the most beautiful places on this planet, along with great food, crazy adventures (I swam with sardines and turtles!), and the authentic culture and welcoming people of the Philippines.

So happy I went on this tour and the group is already planning to go on a second one with Craic on travel because we had so much fun together, and we know that Isabelle and Colin will arrange another amazing trip for us!
Can’t wait to see everyone again for more adventures!
Thank you!

Just finished my tour in the Philippines and it is safe to say it completely exceeded my expectations. From the booking stages right up until the very end it was made feel so easy and stress free. It was very clear how much attention and care that was put into creating the itinerary which combined culture, thrill, and wholesomeness without trying to fit in too much.

I want to give a special shoutout to our incredible leaders Shireen and Izzy, who really went above and beyond for each and every one of us. A dream team who brought constant vibes to the group and truly made sure we got the most out of our experience. ( our group was also some of the best people I’ve ever met which just made for the best experience all round )

I couldn’t recommend Craic on Travels enough to anyone who is considering travelling. This was my first trip with them and it definitely won’t be my last! Thanks so much again, this is only the start for yous Isabelle and Colin🌏♥️

Absolutely brilliant trip with Craic on Travels in Thailand Beaches and Beyond.

Very easy to book and package pricing was extremely fair. Our group leader Shireen was so friendly throughout the entire trip. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She did a fantastic job!
Our local tour guide Armeen was a great asset and had brilliant local knowledge. It was lovely meeting a new group of people. Everybody really enjoyed themselves.

Would definitely book again in a heartbeat!
