Eclipse Traveler

"A special trip and tour of Turkey"
We booked the August Erciyes annual Perceids shower trip. We ended up being the only two people on the trip (the original group was apparently rather large but most canceled after the Oct '23 attacks in Isreal and then the last family had a family member get sick, so they ended up canceling at the last minute). Surprisingly, ET continued with our trip even though many other tour companies would have likely canceled instead of dealing with just 2 people. We had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed meeting Cengiz and Uygar and learning more about Turkey. They also put us is touch with a local guide for Istanbul prior to our tour, who was also an excellent guide. All of our guides really have a love of their country and want to share it with others.
Because we were the only 2 people on the tour, I'm not sure we can speak to a full-tour experience; however, I feel sure that they would treat all of their clients as we were treated - great conversation, interesting and unusual side trips, good food, and wonderful history and insight into the countries they visit. While we currently have other trips on our list that don't include eclipse-chasing, we would happily book another trip with them.

"Can't wait for the next one!"
My husband and I went to Mexico for the 2024 eclipse with Eclipse Traveler. Typically, we shy away from tours since that isn't our preferred travel method. However, we had a fantastic experience and thoroughly enjoyed our whole trip. The tour guides were incredible, and our fellow travelers were just as amazing!
I wholeheartedly recommend Eclipse Traveler to anyone. We've already registered for another upcoming tour.

"Fantastic experience! We booked our next trip right away!"
Fantastic experience!! We booked another eclipse trip as soon as we got home!
The Eclipse Traveler crew & the local guides were great. They were all super friendly, unrushed, and very professional. The buses had lots of empty seats, so we could spread-out, or take a whole row to ourselves - sounds trivial, but it was nice.
The itinerary was full with cool places to see, but also had downtime scheduled in. Each day a few of the travelers would stay back at the hotel instead of going on the daily excursions - if they needed a break.
They booked a fantastic location for eclipse day! We had the whole place to ourselves with tons of rooms to spread out. Great food! Beer on demand. :)
We went to Torreon, Mexico to view the total eclipse. (My photo of that eclipse was on the cover of Astronomy Magazine!)
We LOVED the trip! We're heading to Egypt in 2027.

"We were very happy with the Eclipse…"
We were very happy with the Eclipse Traveler tour in October to Easter Island. The trip was well organized and managed by tour manager, Cengis Aras. The local guides were knowledgeable and engaging and the professional astronomers provided excellent information to make the eclipse a great experience. The hotels were excellent and there was a great small group atmosphere. Our eclipse tour was a great experience and we would recommend Eclipse Traveler to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.

"Easter Island Eclipse"
We did a tour with Eclipse Traveler to Easter Island in October 2024. Our Tour Manager, Cengis Aras did a great job at managing all the details and making sure we were well informed and well taken care of. We had a great time and I'm sure Cengis also arranged perfect weather for the eclipse! We were very happy with the tour and are looking forward to the next eclipse!

The trip was first class. The guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. However,the sincerest form of compliment is I am already planning more trips with Eclipse Traveler.

"Wonderful trip to Chile"
Wonderful trip to Chile: Santiago, Rapa Nui and the Atacama desert! Thank you for the great organization. The eclipse was amazing and the venue was delightful. I enjoyed the astronomers' lectures and learned a lot. We were very fortunate with crisp clarity observing the southern hemisphere night sky. Hotels were very nice, clean and provided good food. Transportation buses were roomy and comfortable. Local guides were very knowledgeable. The picnics at the view points were such an extra treat! We had time to do some activities on our own too. Thank you for making it a memorable experience!

"The buses are always late at the Royal…"
The buses are always late at the Royal Arms bus stop going towards fareham. I can't seem to understand how a bus can be delayed for 20 minutes while the the later scheduled bus arrives before the sooner bus. Its literally 3 stops from gosport bus station
