Craic On Travels Reviews 

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 but were also so much fun! Not to mention they were the kindest hosts we could’ve asked for. Nicky, the local travel guide who travelled along with us, was an absolute gem (and such a laugh) and was there to help us with anything we needed. Will definitely be booking on to another trip with Craic!

I had an amazing time in Bali with a wonderful group of people🤗🥰 Isabelle and Colin were super organisers and were so welcoming and thoughtful throughout the trip.No stone was left unturned.A special thank you to Nikki our local guide who was so kind and good to us all also. I am so grateful 🤗

Isabelle and Colin are great !! they always brought the best most kind energy and every day was incredible. Nicky, our INCREDIBLE tour guide made the trip, she is the sweetest and was so helpful and insightful throughout the entire experience. tears were definitely shed leaving, thanks for everything

The most welcoming people ever and nothing was a hassle at all. They’re such a good team together and make sure everyone is having the best time! We’ll definitely be going on more adventures with Isabelle and Colin. Also Nicky, the local guide in Bali is the SWEETEST human ever and learning about her country outside of what every tourist sees day to day is so beautiful!

Travelling to India for Diwali with Craic on Tours was a once in a life time experience. The trip was so well organised and led. Colin and Isabelle are so passionate about what they do and genuinely care for those who choose to travel with them and this was reflected throughout the trip. They are so respectful and mindful of each country they go to and encourage their groups to do the same through providing education around the culture of the country and by ensuring they have a local guide on each trip.
Colin was the tour leader on the trip I went on and I can’t thank him enough
for all his hard work. I ended up being sick for a little bit on the trip and he made me feel so supported and looked after - he went above and beyond!!
He was always there to provide endless amounts of info and advice for the group while also being great craic too. He organised everything so well and I always felt like we were in great hands.
Travelling to India can be a daunting experience with all the negative stories you here but Colin and Isabelle are so in love with the country and have so much experience there that it really puts you at ease and encourages you to leave what you’ve heard behind and open up to have your own experience with India. I can honestly say I fell in love with India and will 100% be back.
I already cannot wait to go on another trip with Craic on Travels. I can’t fully put into words how amazing my experience with them was.
Trust these two random people who pop up on your TikTok and you’ll be in for a once in a lifetime experience 💛

Just back from India with Craic On Travels and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. The colours, the energy and the people were incredible, and the whole trip was made to feel completely effortless.

Colin led the group brilliantly. His love for India and its culture really shone through and set the tone for the whole experience.

The group were amazing too. Everyone brought great energy and we all got on straight away. I hadn’t felt confident about going to India on my own, but from the moment I joined I felt completely at ease. Everything was so well organised that I could just relax and enjoy it all.

Craic On Travels deserve all the praise they get. They’re passionate, genuine and really know how to make a trip unforgettable.

If you’re thinking about visiting India, this is the way to do it. You’ll see the country at its most vibrant and come home with memories that will stay with you for life.

I'm so grateful to have chosen Craic On Travels for their Diwali experience in India. Colin and Isabelle care so deeply about their work, sharing authentic experiences of the country, its culture and people, and it shines in their tour. I've gained so much from this experience.
The group was so warm, kind and welcoming, and everyone instantly felt like old friends. I've made friends for life on this trip, thanks to the positive atmosphere Colin and Isabelle create. Colin was amazing as lead on this trip, with energy and enthusiasm (and great food recommendations!), guiding us through the colour and chaos of India. The itinerary was incredible, exploring five very different cities, seeing some of the most beautiful sites and landscapes, and connecting with local people and their stories.
I am so grateful to Craic On Travels for this lifechanging trip, and would recommend them to anyone! I hope to join them on more trips in the future!

We went on a trip to Palawan with Craic on Travels and honestly it was amazing! Isabelle and Colin were so lovely and accommodating, and they organised the most fun and stress-free trip. When the weather didn’t suit some of the activities, they switched things around so easily and made it all work perfectly, which we never even expected them to do.

Our tour guide Izzy was the absolute best and such a fun addition to the trip. He really made it for us! It was so cool having a local guide who showed us everything from the best local food to the most incredible spots.

Isabelle and Colin are just the kindest, funniest and most professional people. You can really tell they care about everyone having the best time. I’ll definitely be travelling with Craic on Travels again!

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.
