DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

USA – The Great American Eclipse

Dear Darren,

Thank you very much indeed for the hard work that you put into making our trip to the USA to see the Eclipse a resounding success!

Your flexibility and understanding of our needs helped create a truly memorable experience. I know you were a little concerned about the blank days at Camp Buffalo Bills, however it turned out to work well as the leadership team at the camp were able to adjust the programme to meet our needs.

In particular having the 15 seater mini bus worked really well as the individual patrols could explore different parts of Yellowstone. It wouldn’t have worked well with all 37 on a big bus as the days were longs and there was so much to see. We ended up doing nearly 3,000 miles in the mini bus!

The Eclipse itself was truly stunning. We hiked up to a viewpoint immediately behind the motel and enjoyed the view from there as there was clear skies.

Once again thank you to you and the entire team. I would not have any reservations about using Travel Places for any Scout trip in the future. I am already thinking about the Eclipse in Mexico in 2024!!
