Itinerary
3 Nights – Chicago
7 Nights – Aruba
✈ UK – Chicago (3 Nights): You’ll first fly from the UK to the great city of Chicago, where we’ll transfer you to your hotel for 3 nights. Blending fast-paced buzz with Midwestern charm, Chicago stretches along its Great Lakes shoreline for endless culture, shopping, dining and experiences. From the wide downtown boulevards and Magnificent Mile’s shopping to the “home of Soul food” South Side, there isn’t a neighbourhood here that isn’t worth exploring.
Take in 94th-floor panoramas of skyscrapers and lakes from 360 Chicago’s breathtaking deck. Lose yourself in the sculpture-filled Millenium Park. Definitely join the locals for some spirited sports at Wrigley Field. Whether you’re snapping the famous Bean structure and nearby Pritzker Pavilion, taking it easy along the North Pier or digging into some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, you’ll be in a city that doesn’t disappoint. Browse the Art Institute and Field Museum, sample Chinatown’s dumplings and make the most of Chicago’s endless theatres, bars, clubs and steakhouses.
✈ Chicago – Aruba (7 Nights): Next you’ll be transferred back to the airport for a flight to the stunning Caribbean island of Aruba for 7 nights of well-earned relaxation. With its year-round sunshine, turquoise warm waters and white-sanded shores, Aruba is loved for its tropical climate, lush greenery and quaint Dutch architecture. Sunshine here bounces off pastel-painted buildings, and this island’s colonial heritage is beautifully preserved- both visually, and in the town names. The modern capital of Oranjestad and the quaint Noord village form beautifully laid-out streets and Roman Catholic chapels, plus gleaming designer malls and upscale restaurants.
Sheltered by their location outside the Hurricane Belt, Aruba’s beaches are some of the most beautiful on earth. From powdery-soft alabaster coves and secluded limestone cliffs to long stretches of white sand, over 15 beaches here offer everything from lounging under palms to world-class windsurfing. Escape in the solitude at Baby Beach, snorkel at Boca Catalina and dine overlooking crystal-clear waters at Eagle Beach. With outdoor markets, casino resorts and everything from Aloe factories to bird sanctuaries, Aruba truly is a treasure. The island measures 21 miles tip-to-tip, and we can arrange transfers for whichever part you fancy exploring.
✈ Aruba – UK: We’ll be at your hotel on your departure day to escort you to the airport for your flight back to the UK.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
