The eShores idea
15 years ago, the travel industry was drastically changing. While the only option in the past had been to visit the high street travel agency to book a holiday, people suddenly had the option to book their holiday online, in the comfort of their own home.
eShores directors saw this shift in consumer behaviour as a positive change, however we also saw potential problems and issues that could arise. By booking different aspects of a holiday separately, we felt that people were taking huge financial risks. In addition, by booking online, there was a significant lack of knowledge, guidance and support that would normally have been provided by local travel agents and could result in errors or problems overseas. Not to mention the sheer volume of travel and holiday options available which could easily swamp the most capable of people.
And so eShores was born, based on the principle of easing and preventing these issues whilst at the same time offering the cost benefits and simplicity of booking online, bringing together the best of what high street agents and online companies had to offer.

What our clients think
Fifth time of using Eshores. Never been let down when not travelling to just one destination it is very comforting to know everthing is in hand. Wont use anyone else
Michelle, who was our consultant was very attentive very thorough and gave us a number of options to look at. I feel confident that this trip of a lifetime will go to plan. Michelle consistently came back to us with updates as when required and she did what she said she was going to do.…
The lady was really helpful and informative. She responded to our enquiry very quickly and provided us with a detailed quotation, including everything we asked for.
Dave always provides great service

Our second time booking a multi centred trip With Leanne - she has all the knowledge and takes away the stress . It’s a seamless process and we look forward to planning the next adventure!!
Fabulous service from David, putting together our holiday, recommending what to do. Looking forward to our holiday
Great quote, all questions answered quickly by Leanne. Very easy to complete the booking.
Rob has been fantastic in helping me plan my 40th birthday Southeast Asia trip. He’s been brilliant in putting all details together and no change I requested to the itinerary was of trouble; always at the end of the phone to answer my endless questions. Thank you!
I was very dubious at first with using an unknown travel provider. I can only thank Mathew my go to for all his help. We had a fantastic holiday to Morroco. All our needs were met with prompt action. Thank you very much for your diligence. Very easy to contact this provider every step of…
It was a pleasure dealing with Hanna, she was so quick answering any questions we had and phoned us when when she said she would.
Leanne was most helpful in all matters was very satisfied with accommodation she recommended and are looking forward to our trip
We have used Eshores on many occasions over the years especially when booking long haul holidays. They are so friendly, helpful and knowledgable , nothing is to much trouble. Would highly recommend them especially Dave.
Great service from Rob, super helpful and patient, came back with many quotes for me. Really listened to what I wanted unlike other companies also very comparable on price and worked out cheaper than me doing it myself. I would definitely recommend and would use again (although I haven't been on the holiday yet!!)
First time we have used eShores. Michelle Porter was exceptional with her knowledge and recommendations. We were given several options to consider and all our needs and expectations were met and exceeded. First class service. Would definitely recommend Michelle/eShores and they will be our first contact when looking at future holidays.
Fantastic Holiday in Singapore and Thailand. Epic trp to Singapore, Chiang Mai, Bangkok and the wonderful Koh Lanta. Thanks to Anna King who arranged our holiday. 10/10!
First time we have use Eshore & very impress with how professional Kadie was with quoting on a holiday package.
Dave helped me secure the holiday I wanted, within the specified budget. In fact, I ended up with an extra couple of nights, which is a bonus. His emails were prompt and he was a joy to speak to on the phone. Would highly recommend eShores.
Our 4th trip using Eshores has just been booked. Andy was super efficient in making sure all our requirements were met. Would highly recommend this excellent company
Very helpful, knowledgeable and happy to suggest various options.
