Always good to book a holiday. E-shores makes the process extra special with their feel good attitude and always give value for money. Their expertise and knowledge is incomparable and can be assured you always get the best holiday and the best prices available. They are the best travel agents in the business as far as I am concerned. Would not go anywhere else - or trust my holiday with anyone else.

Absolutelty great regards our booking for 4 active seventy year olds!.,to Vietnam and Cambodia in March 2026. Discussed our desires and understood fully what we wanted regarding high quality journey with private transport as approriate and staying in great hotels, whilst we will be able to engage in culture and local food.

Leanne was fantastic in helping us arrange our forthcoming holiday. Nothing was too much trouble and she went the extra mile to ensure we have the holiday we wanted. Obviously, much now depends on the quality of the holiday when it happens but in terms of organisation and customer service, I have been enormously impressed by eShores.

My husband and I have been using eshores since 2013 and would highly recommend them for amazing tailor made holidays without any hidden costs. The ability to build exactly what we want every time and help guide us when we are undecided without making it feel like any effort is invaluable. Shoutout to Dave who puts up with my indecisiveness and hits it out of the park every time.
