Itinerary
2 Nights – Kuala Lumpur
5 Nights – Penang
3 Nights – Ho Chi Minh
4 Nights – Phan Thiet
✈ UK – Kuala Lumpur (2 Nights): After your direct flight from your chosen UK airport to Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur (KL), you will have two nights in this relaxed city where you can explore its’ night markets and skyscrapers. Petaling Street is the Chinatown of KL which is always bustling day and night, along with its bargain shopping, it’s the place to enjoy Malaysia’s famous street-food. For a bird’s eye view of the city head to the iconic Petronas Twin-Towers and for a cultural highlight another must-see is the giant limestone Batu Caves on the edge of the city.
✈ Kuala Lumpur – Penang (5 Nights): You will then fly to the island of Penang located off the west coast of Malaysia for some idyllic beach relaxation. Penang is renowned for its outstanding local cuisine and whilst you are here visit the night markets as well as the Island’s colonial capital of Georgetown. With five nights on the island you will have ample opportunity to languish poolside or on the beach, there are also plenty of water or nature activities to get involved with should you wish.
✈ Penang – Ho Chi Minh (3 Nights): You will then fly to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam for three nights, also still known as Saigon. This former South Vietnamese capital is the commercial heart of the country and is energetic and chaotic with its mix of street markets, grand colonial buildings and skyscrapers. With historic temples, ancient pagodas, designer shopping malls and excellent restaurants, it is a well worth taking a tour of the city to absorb it all and learn about the country’s turbulent past. Visit the famous Binh Tay Market to try local food and barter for souvenirs and take a cruise out of the city along the Mekong River to see the stunning rice fields and its famous floating market.
🚗 Ho Chi Minh – Phan Thiet (4 Nights): We will then drive you to the bustling coastal town of Phan Thiet where traditional brightly painted boats fill the harbour. Enjoy four nights here with the excellent seafood restaurants, colourful markets as well as pristine beaches. With miles of sandy coastline, you can chill out or take part in the many water sports available. The nearby Red Sand Dunes are like a mini desert and provide a playground of activities from sand-sledging to racing around in dune buggies. From here we will drive you back to Ho Chi Minh for your flight home.
✈ Ho Chi Minh- UK: On your last day you will be collected and taken to the airport for your flight back to the UK.

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again

Nick arranged a 2 week trip to Argentina & Brazil for us in March. We were happy with the itinerary he put together and his choice of hotels. We had a good level of contact from taxi companies for collections at airports & hotels. On our return he checked everything had gone smoothly which was a nice touch. I mentioned that I was looking for a beach holiday in a couple of months and he put together some hotels at a good price so I’ve booked again with him. I would definitely use Nick, EShores, again and recommend them to friends.
