Grand American Adventures, specialists in North American small group tours, have carefully scheduled a number of popular tours in the USA to factor in views of the 2017 total solar eclipse. Their travellers will be able to view this spectacle of Mother Nature in superb locations. Most spectacular of all, there is NO PREMIUM on the pricing for these tours. All prices are being kept as per the season - for example Best of the West is priced for the 'eclipse departure' on 13 August as it is for the 06 August departure, (which will not coincide) at the same price of £2,379 per person (excluding flights).

Tours such as Historic Route 66, Best of the West and the Yellowstone Ranch & Tetons will all offer departures positioning groups into the most spectacular locations to witness the 21 August 2017 phenomenon. From America's most iconic highway, to the glorious vistas of Yellowstone National Park, Grand American Adventures guides will ensure that guests are in the most evocative surroundings for this awe inspiring event.
