2009 Eclipse tour operators
I have compiled a short list of tour operators which run trips to Eclipses. With the exception of Journeys World Wide I have not used any of these operators and cannot, therefore, provide a recommendation either way. So, do your own research and I do not accept any liability for any screw ups.
Oriental Travel, IAH Holidays, A Classic Tour Collection and Winco Eclipse Tours have all provided me with tour information which had been, with permission, republished.
Tour operators are invited to submit their current plans to me as I will be keeping a record of whos going where and when. A strong preference is given to operators giving a link back to this site.

Ken Lee of Mountain Adventures has contact me to let me know they have a tour for China 2009 about 15 days combining 4 days along the coast of Hangzhou for the eclipse then our 10 day tour of Yunnan province.
