Exciting and off the normal tourist route in Colombia

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.

Our Africa trip - prepared by Lyndal

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.

Wonderful South American experience

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.

Botswana and Zimbabwe Safaris

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.

Issues contacting them

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

Reply from Eclipse Travel

Hi Debbie, thank you for the feedback. I'm terribly sorry for the communication difficulties you experienced after your initial consultation and booking. Unfortunately your consultant retired from the business around that time, and it's clear the handover process didn't serve you as well as it should have. We've taken this on board and are reviewing our processes to make sure any future transitions are handled far more smoothly for our clients.

Warm regards,

We booked an amazing trip to Peru…

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

What a way to go...!

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!

Absolutely Smooth Travel Arrangements

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.

Eclipse Travel South America…

Eclipse Travel organised a wonderful six week trip for me in South America. Having the planning and bookings done by experts made my trip so much easier and more enjoyable. 13 flights, 5 countries, and numerous guided tours. Everything worked so smoothly, and the quality of the recommended hotels was great.
