Travelled to Bali with Craic on Travels in November 2025 - it couldn’t have been more seamlessly organised, the activities Isabelle & Colin had lined up for us gave us such an insight into the culture... See more

Craic On Travels India Holi Festival
Traveling to India with Craic On Travels was incredible! Colin and Isabelle organised everything so smoothly, making it fun and stress-free. Our local guide, Rachna, was brilliant, funny, knowledgeable, and so so caring.
From Holi celebrations to desert camping, every part of the trip was memorable. I felt safe, looked after, and had so many laughs along the way. Highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of going to India!
This was my 3rd trip with Craic On with (hopefully) plenty more to come!
CRAIC ON BABY 🤪💞🇮🇳
Just back from the most incredible trip to India with Craic on and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! 🌏✨
From start to finish they were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Every detail was thought of, and you could really tell how much effort they put into making the experience special for everyone. We experienced india as travelers not tourists 🛺
It truly was a once in a lifetime trip, made even better by the best group of people. The memories, the laughs, and the places we got to experience together will stay with me forever.
If you’re thinking of travelling with them, do it. You will have the best time and new friends for life 🥹 I cannot wait to travel with them again! Love you Isabelle and Colin (mom & dad) ❤️
Highly recommend!!!
I recently went to India with craic on travels. Colin and Isabelle organised such a beautiful and authentic trip ensuring everything went smoothly. Rachna, our local guide, was absolutely brilliant, so funny, knowledgeable and caring. I would highly recommend booking a trip with them if you are thinking about it, it is well worth it.
A MUST DO!!
India with Craicontravels was truly such an incredible experience. Isabelle and Colin created a trip with memorable experiences, fantastic vibes, and a welcoming/caring environment! The itinerary was perfect! Our guide Rachna made this trip a once in a lifetime experience. Constant belly laughs and smiles were an everyday occurrence. I could not recommend this group trip more!!
If you are considering it.. I recommend you do it
Had the best time in India for Holi with Craic on Travels. Colin and Isabelle are brilliant and have put so much care into the planning of the trip. They add little touches here and there that make it that much more special. Our local tour guide Rachna was one of of a kind and made navigating India that much easier! All three of them together made this a memorable adventure for all the right reasons.
HOLI COW! WHAT AN ADVENTURE 🎉
I have just finished Craic on Travels trip to India for Holi celebrations, and I honestly still can't believe it was all real 😍
Our wonderful hosts, Colin and Isabelle, have this itinerary down to a fine art. With the perfect balance of the organised chaos and noise of Delhi, the lively party vibes of Holi, to the calming silence of the desert 🏜
Our local guide, Rachna, also made the experience even more enriching, with her incredible knowledge of her country, her motherly aura, and her insane humour. She's so effortlessly funny, and definitely made everyone feel safe no matter where we were. (Also fantastic for haggling in shops, and helping avoid scams 😆)
Craic on travels definitely made the trip feel like a more authentic experiance, rather than touristy. With experiences such as the night train, wild camping in the thar desert, and getting to enjoy holi celebrations in a locals own home.
If you have always wanted to go to India, but didn't feel safe on your own or struggle to plan an itinerary, honestly, look no further than these guys. Always felt safe in the group, even in the bustling cities, and the activities and experiences are unreal.
You really learn to just go with the flow here!
Craic on travels truly do what they say on the tin, this trip started entirely solo, but I have left with family and a home away from home. India will have a special place in my heart forever.
There aren't enough stars to give these guys, I will definitely find myself on another incredible adventure with them very soon ❤️✨️
India Holi Experience
I was recently on their India Holi Festival trip and WOW is all I can say. They have figured out the perfect balance from the chaos of Holi to the calmness of the desert. You really see every side of India on this trip!
Craic on Travels really go above and beyond to make every experience special. I felt super safe and comfortable in every moment of my trip.
Our local guide Rachna was spectacular and I will truly never forget her. She brought so much knowledge and humour to the tour and was super approachable with any questions or concerns. India has a piece of my heart thanks to Rachna, Colin & Isabelle as they shared so much about this beautiful country!
Craic on Travels just felt very unique in energy and brought a group of strangers together who left as friends. I would trust Colin & Isabelle to bring me anywhere in the world and I know I am guaranteed to have an incredible time.
If you are considering booking a trip - DO IT! You will not regret it!
10s across the board ✨🫶🏼
Amazing time in India
I had such an amazing two weeks with Colin and Isabelle in India. We packed in so much without it being exhausting or too jam packed. We went camping in the desert experienced Holi and saw the Taj Mahal a truly magical experience. I was unfortunate enough to be bitten by a dog and had to go to the hospital on 3 different times, during the trip Isabelle Colin and our guide Rachna who was absolutely iconic and made the trip so fun brought me to the hospital and we laughed the entire time I was never worried as I felt in such safe hands and now it’s a funny story I can share. The 16 people that made our trip truly felt like friends I’d known forever while I am currently solo traveling it was nice to not have to plan the itinerary and being around the same people for 2 weeks was so lovely. I recommend craic on travels for anyone solo or friends to explore this world in such a fun and affordable way. Thank you guys so much xx
Holi in India is a MUST!
I chose to travel India during Holi with Craic On Travels and I had the best time! Isabelle and Colin are super friendly and full of knowledge. Our local guide, Rachna is an icon and made our time in India seamless. The tour was great value for money and I would 100% recommend anyone (especially anyone travelling solo) to travel with Craic On Travels!!!
An Incredible Travel Company
The best travel company with the most caring and attentive owners. I have been on two group trips with them and can confidently say I will be returning for a third. They put so much effort into making sure everyone has an amazing experience and it really shows throughout the trip. Not only do they keep the energy up, but they also attract the kindest and most welcoming people, which makes the trips even more special. You can tell they truly care about what they do and about the people traveling with them. I highly recommend Craic On Travels!!!

Amazing trip with the most amazing travel company!
I had the most amazing trip with Craic On travels in Vietnam! I was very nervous as I was solo travelling and it was my first time in Asia but from the very start Isabelle and Colin were so welcoming, helpful and created such a lovely atmosphere even through WhatsApp. From start to finish everything was so well organised, all hotels, transport and activities were organised so it really took the stress out of travelling and all that was left to do was enjoy it. They have so much experience that they know exactly where is best to go and what is worth seeing. Our guides Jamie and Mii were so knowledgeable and helpful they really made the trip! I couldn’t recommend Craic on travels enough, Colin and Isabelle are such a pleasure to deal with and have created such a wonderful company! It was such a special trip with an amazing group of people! We got a really great mix of seeing the culture and sights of Vietnam while also loads of activities and downtime. I would absolutely recommend Craic on travels to anyone thinking of joining a trip!
Mi the tour guide and Jamie were…
Mi the tour guide and Jamie were amazing. The places we saw and the timeline were well thought of and jam packed of adventure.
No Stress, All Fun Holiday Experience
I went with Craic on Travels on one of their trips to Vietnam, and had a great experience! All of the logistics for the 12 day journey form Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi were planned for the group - once arriving I was able to relax and enjoy the trip from the start. Having a trip leader, a local guide, and a group of other Irish on the trip made me feel that I had enough resources to help me navigate Vietnam!
I would absolutely book another trip with Craic on Travels as the trip met and exceeded my expectations.
Outstanding experience
The organisation for this trip was second to none, my first time in Asia and I had an absolute blast with some amazing people. Jamie was a brilliant and knowledgeable guide who was always on hand to help.
I will be booking another trip with Craic on Travels. Thank you for the memories
The best option for your first trip to Vietnam
We loved traveling with Craic on Travels for our first trip to Vietnam. Having the stress of hotels, transportation and experiences all handled and managed by
our team lead / local guide was amazing. Our group was made up of so many fun, dynamic characters who all brought something different and were up for a good time. Special shoutout for the local cooking class in Hoi An which was such a highlight. Such a great entryway into your first trip to Asia - can’t recommend enough!
Vietnam 2026
The trip to Vietnam was fantastic, everything was planned perfectly and we got to see the best of Vietnam, Jamie our tour leader was fantastic as was our local guide Mii, I would highly recommend Craic On Travels to anyone who is planning a trip.
