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.

Nick Chadwick has arranged 2 far east hilidays for us in the past 6 months.. The first involved 5 stops throughout Malaysia and Singapore and on a recent second holiday we returned to Borneo as we love the island so much. Everything went to plan and I have no hesitation in recommending this company. We will definitely use again.

Took out the Best of Andalucia trip with eshores, where we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful region of Southern Spain. eShores tailor your experience to your budget and they organise everything, catering for all your needs, we were able to change some of the destinations and extend the duration of our stay. All the accommodation provided and travel was first class, the selected destinations did not disappoint. For travelling in Spain, we chose rail, the rail network we found very efficient and so well organised. Emma from eShores was great from the outset, we discussed with her what we were looking for and provided dates of availability and she came back with an itinerary, which she then fully organised, it made the whole process so simple. We were very impressed with Emma’s help and assistance and eshores overall customer commitment. We would certainly use them again and very much would recommend them to anyone.

Rachel was our consultant and she did amazing. 1st time booking a holiday that wasn’t with a high street agent. Rachel did not disappoint. Our holiday was perfect. Had 1 issue with one of the rooms but Rachel resolved it straight away. Can’t wait to book our next holiday with her.

Rachel at Eshores arranged a glorious trip to India. Guided tour around The golden triangle and 5 days on the beach in Goa. Everything went exactly as per the itinerary. The hotels and beach resort were excellent. I highly recommend Rachel and Eshores. Great planning and always on hand to answer any questions or concerns. I would certainly use this company again for any future trips.
