Eclipse Travel Reviews 

We had a memorable South America trip, travelling through 5 countries over 40 days.
A big thank you to Tiffany of Eclipse Travel for her effort and expertise to address the issues raised in a timely manner and to make our journey smooth despite those hiccups.

We learned a lot from the local guides and enjoyed the beauty of landscapes. They were very knowledgeable of the history and culture about the countries that we visited.
Yet the programs on some dates could be delivered in a better fashion as one or two local guides were not time conscious enough.
Overall, we had a wonderful and enjoyable trip to South America.

We had 6 weeks of amazing experiences in South America. There were four of us, all retirees, and it was our first time to South America. We used Eclipse Travel to help us organise the tour. In addition to their 21 days Pato Andino group tour covering the Andes , we wished also to visit Patagonia, Iguazu Falls, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago and see the Nazca lines.
Tiffany, the tour designer, was very helpful right from the beginning. She tried to fit all the places that we wanted to visit before and after the group tour, within our time frame, and made practical suggestions. She and the support team at Eclipse, together with local operators in respective countries, organised everything, from return tickets Sydney and Santiago, transport within South America like flights, public buses, transfers between airport and hotel, hotels, private tours or local tours where applicable. We were well looked after and everything ran smoothly. There were some issues with a couple of hotels but that got dealt with quickly.
As for the group tour, it was nice to have Liz, our tour leader , so we did not have to worry about anything. It was especially invaluable when she managed to get us out of La Paz in the midst of blockades and reroute.
All the local guides were knowledgeable and passionate about the places they represented. I can say I learned quite a bit more now about the countries and places that we visited, besides enjoying the amazing and varied landscape.
We covered a lot of ground in 6 weeks, from snow capped mountains, glacier lakes, majestic waterfalls, rivers ,oceans, beaches, to the driest desert on earth, salt flats, Islands of reeds; and there were the people, the dancing, the colour, the artefacts, the culture.

South America is a vast continent of many countries, each has its own characteristics Our combination of private tours and group tour served us well, thanks to the team at Eclipse Travel ravel.

Very good trip with expectations met. Very comfortable ship with knowledgeable and courteous crew, good food. Ship transfers seamless. Booking process straightforward. Would certainly consider another trip with Poseidon.

Everything was organised for us. We didn’t have to worry about a thing.

A very good itinerary covering our requests put together by Tiffany who was enthusiastic and prompt in her replies. Many out of the way places were visited by private car and often a guide at the destination too. Accommodation was varied, nothing really bad and some very,very good considering many of our stops were in remote areas. Overall it was a fantastic trip. Thanks Tiffany.

Lyndal - who looked after our planning and packaging of the trip - was brilliant.

All went very smoothly on the trip - although, at times, the local contact was not always who we were expecting: thoroughly enjoyable - saw all the animals we could have hoped to.

Tiffany our travel agent was excellent and ensured we had a wonderful travel experience. All the airport pick ups and tours were on time with friendly and informative guides which allows you to make the most of your tour without the worry of organising as you go. Would definitely recommend Eclipse to arrange your tours. 😊

I visited Peru’s Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands with a group of 3 friends. Lara at Eclipse organised an itinerary that ticked all my boxes plus more. The trip went smoothly and according to plan. All the local guides and operators were very knowledgeable and helpful, which made the trip stress free and enjoyable. The hotels were superb. I highly recommend Eclipse Travel for a South American adventure.

We were very happy with our experience with Eclipse. The itinerary was flexible, we loved all the camps -everything went like clockwork and Anza was very helpful. We had tried to do the bookings ourselves but the inside knowledge about the camps was invaluable and also getting all the connections with small planes. We flew to Hwange and didn't understand why as we heard it was just a 3 hour road trip. Well the road was in terrible condition and it was taking people double the time and the local travel agent knew to book a flight we were so grateful.If you are scared of flying in Africa so was I but our experience was really wonderful with Mack Air.

Absolutely seamless, from start to end. Properties and experiences were as luxurious as we’d hoped but the grace and care of every staff member along the way was what made it so special

After my original consultation left I had quite a few issues getting in touch with them. Some information was incorrect too.

Prompt responses to initial enquiry and to follow up e mail questions during the booking process

Helpful advice

Booked the tour and extra flights
Very satisfied

We booked an amazing trip to Peru including the Inca Trail hike with Meike. Meike was so helpful and knew so much about the area. She had stayed at most of the hotels we booked and had great recommendations. I would 100% recommend Eclipse Travel and will be definitely booking another trip with them in the future

Matt from Eclipse travel once again arranged a perfect itinerary for us on our second trip to South America. Everything went like clockwork and we had the most amazing and memorable time. We can not wait to go back again, and will definitely be back in contact with Matt.

A great experience working with Daniel. He worked with us to find a great deal to cruise the Galapagos and suggestions on other places to travel. Always responsive and knowledgeable about South America.

Luke (my Eclipse consultant) was terrific... the whole trip was perfectly choreographed... hotels, connections, guides, drivers, destinations... and the local tour operators were professional and very supportive. I would highly recommend Eclipse ; in fact, with Luke's support, I am already planning my next international trip!

Our recent South America trip was absolutely unforgettable!! All the airport transfers, private tours and the 24/7 attentive services put together by Eclipse Travel and their trusted local partners were what made our trip extremely smooth. Through multiple communications when organising our trip, Luke our consultant truly understood our travel style and budget, everything he put together was exactly what we wanted. We cannot recommend more highly about Eclipse Travevl.

Very good tour operator. Communication with Meike was very efficient and helpful. Our trip went smoothly.
