tatsächlich: indeed, in fact
eigentlich: actually, rather
I feel that "tatsächlich" is mostly used to either express surprise about something that was said beforehand, or in order to agree with something.
"eigentlich" is used when you want to add or correct something, but don't want to sound overly blunt.
