Itinerary
2 Nights: Tampa
3 Nights: St Pete’s or Clearwater
3 Nights: Sarasota
4 Nights: Naples or Marco Island
2 Nights: Miami
UK – Tampa (2 nights): After touching down at Tampa Airport, you’ll pick up your rental car and kick off your holiday in a city that’s great to visit with your kids. Tampa is packed with exciting family-friendly attractions like Florida Aquarium and Busch Gardens (a zoo-cum-theme park), while Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are only a short drive away. There’s lots of live entertainment for grown-ups, too, and you can take your pick from classical performances at the Straz Center or contemporary music gigs played in the city’s bars.
Tampa – St Pete/Clearwater (3 nights): The next leg of your self-drive holiday will take you to two of America’s best beaches on the barrier islands of Clearwater and St. Pete. You are free to pick a hotel in either of those two, but whatever you choose you can’t go wrong. It takes less than an hour to drive from Clearwater to St. Pete along a stunning coastline flanked by sugar-white sands and funky beach bars. Add a choice of water sports and you get the recipe for a perfect summer.
St Pete/Clearwater – Sarasota (3 nights): In Sarasota you’ll have three nights to enjoy a diverse dining scene and to shop around St. Armand’s Circle, an area densely packed with attractive stores and boutiques. Take our advice and make some time to visit the impressive John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. Its ornate, palatial building and landscaped gardens are quite an attraction in their own right.
Sarasota – Naples/Marco Island (4 nights): Your road trip will continue further south to Naples and Marco Island. Luxe boutiques, chic restaurants and lots of art galleries are the main allures in these affluent communities. Naples is famous for its innumerable golf courses, while Marco Island boasts serene, picture postcard beaches. The latter is also a good base for exploring the maze of mangroves known as Ten Thousand Islands. You can spend a day or a few navigating these pristine isles by water, air or land.
Naples/Marco Island – Miami (2 nights): Your trip will end in Miami, where the choice of entertainment is inexhaustible. The city has many distinct communities and neighbourhoods offering different activities. South Beach is a chic nightlife hub and celebrity haunt; Mid-Beach is a calmer hide-away perfect for water sports, while Downtown is home to shopping outlets, museums and cultural institutions. Miami is also a culinary melting pot of Latin American influences with restaurants offering everything from Argentinian steaks and Peruvian ceviche to Cuban fare. You don’t have to take our word for this, you’ll be able to try it all.
Miami – UK: On your last day you’ll drop off your car at Miami Airport before boarding the plane back home.

Eshore’s are an excellent company I can’t praise them enough, especially Adam who has been amazing. He was really patient as I’m indecisive and changed my mind several times. He persevered and found us a dream holiday and put together great itinerary covering every aspect of our journey . Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the trip and Adam went above and beyond to recoup as much as possible for us. It was a huge help & felt very personal as if he were a friend. We have rescheduled the holiday & will use Eshores for all future trips’

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

I found eShores efficient and helpful. Dave Felton found me good times, prices and hotels for a twin trip to Krakow & Warsaw and dealt effectively with any concerns I had. Definitely recommended.

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.
