South America Holidays, African Safari & Polar Tour Specialists.

Everything was professionally done prior to, during and after our holiday to Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama. Communication with our travel agent was excellent and the local partners in all countries were professional and always on time and helpful. At one time the person collecting us from the airport waited over 2 hours for us not knowing that our flight was delayed. All of our pick-ups occurred without hitch and our drivers arrived on time or early every single time. Impressive. Everything was well organised and in general we were happy with the choice of hotels. The tours and local tour guides were also good. When a problem occurred (left camera in a hotel) the local agent arranged for it to be posted back to me. Excellent service. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Just back from 7 weeks in South America, visiting Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru & a day trip to Uruguay. Our journey & relationship with Eclipse Travel started 18 months ago when we contacted them & were lucky enough to be place in the expert hands of Shae Doherty. We gave Shae a list of place we wanted to go & what we wanted to see & she came back with a draft plan, with several options. Over the next few weeks, with Shae’s recommendations & fine tuning, she came up with our incredible itinerary. When it came to the actual trip, it was like clockwork, from transport, accommodation, tours, guides etc was hard to fault. When asked what was the highlight, the whole trip was a highlight. Numerous volcanos, Pucon, Nothofagus Hotel, Huilo Huilo, 7 lakes route, Eco camp, Torres Del Paine, Perito Mereno glazier, Tango Show, Buenos Aires, Atacama Desert tour, Bolivian salt flats, train graveyard, Uyuni, San Pedro Prison, La Paz, Colca Canyon Condors, Lares Trek & Machu Picchu, Cusco to name a few. Thanks to Shae & Eclipse we didn’t miss much. An incredible journey & experience. Already having initial discussions with Shae on another trip. Could not recommend Shae & Eclipse Travel more highly.

We were extremely impressed with all aspects of the trip organised by Anton at Eclipse Travel. In the planning stages we were very happy with the level of local knowledge, communication and the total flexibility of the itinerary. The final itinerary documentation was the most comprehensive and useful we have ever received. When on the trip everything ran very smoothly with excellent local guides. This local staff were very impressive in their response to events totally out of their control including a flight cancellation and two local transport strikes. We initially were unsure about private tours but really enjoyed them as you get more information without interruptions by other guests, you can customise depending on weather or interest and you learn more about the guide as a person. The standard and location of the accommodation was superb. We have recommended Eclipse Travel to friends and will continue to do so.

I found Eclipse travel on the internet and from my first contact to the end of our tour of South American I was extremely happy. Lara, who was our consultant was wonderful and ready to assist with every question I had. In South America all our guides were punctual and very knowledgeable and assisted us in every way possible. We are both in our 70s so some days were harder than others but everyone from the various companies in each country looked after us amazingly. I would recommend Eclipse to anyone travelling to South America.
