🚗 Melbourne – Great Southern Touring Route (4 Nights): On your last day in Melbourne, you will collect your rental car from the local city depot and set off on the next part of your adventure: the Great Southern Touring Route. This self-drive will allow you to explore the spectacular and dramatic Victoria coastline on one of the world’s most scenic coastal roads, the Great Ocean Road. On this 4 night self-drive your suggested route will take you on a journey visiting sights such as the Geelong waterfront and the 12 apostles plus iconic beaches and striking waterfalls before heading to the majestic Grampians National Park and finishing with a trip to historic city of Ballarat.

On arrival in Sydney airport, you will pick up your next rental car before driving to the Blue Mountains where you will stay for 2 nights. The spectacular rock formations of this World Heritage site are enthralling and you may explore them at your own pace, perhaps taking a trip on the Skyway, which is suspended 270 metres above the ravines of the rainforest, with a glass bottom floor for ultimate viewing and added excitement!
🚗 Blue Mountains – Hunter Valley (2 Nights): You will then drive to the beautiful Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest and most highly regarded wine region, where you will spend the following 2 nights, perhaps sampling some of the region’s award winning tipples on one of the many vineyard tours.

As always, Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me good advice on my travel plans and booked the holiday on my behalf. I've used eshores a number of times, and will continue to do so.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday

We have booked two big holidays this year for a group of 8 and a group of 10, Rachel has coordinated our holidays with the utmost excellence, during the consultation we changed countires hotels and even flights but it did not phase Rachel one bit. Exceeds customer expectations by helping advising and supporting throughout the holiday. We are off to Thailand and Dubai in August and then followed by India and Thailand in November, I have rang emailed Rachel many times during the booking and I got very prompt responses even on her days off. Rachel is a credit to EShores and EShores is setting standards regarding customer focus.

I can’t praise Lynette at EShores enough. She has organised my trips perfectly to the point that I wouldn’t use anyone else. She listens to what I want or to the problem I have and comes up with a solution. Nothing is too much trouble. Try them out yourselves and I bet you become a repeater too!
