Itinerary
2 Nights – Kuala Lumpur
5 Nights – Penang
3 Nights – Ho Chi Minh
4 Nights – Phan Thiet
✈ UK – Kuala Lumpur (2 Nights): After your direct flight from your chosen UK airport to Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur (KL), you will have two nights in this relaxed city where you can explore its’ night markets and skyscrapers. Petaling Street is the Chinatown of KL which is always bustling day and night, along with its bargain shopping, it’s the place to enjoy Malaysia’s famous street-food. For a bird’s eye view of the city head to the iconic Petronas Twin-Towers and for a cultural highlight another must-see is the giant limestone Batu Caves on the edge of the city.
✈ Kuala Lumpur – Penang (5 Nights): You will then fly to the island of Penang located off the west coast of Malaysia for some idyllic beach relaxation. Penang is renowned for its outstanding local cuisine and whilst you are here visit the night markets as well as the Island’s colonial capital of Georgetown. With five nights on the island you will have ample opportunity to languish poolside or on the beach, there are also plenty of water or nature activities to get involved with should you wish.
✈ Penang – Ho Chi Minh (3 Nights): You will then fly to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam for three nights, also still known as Saigon. This former South Vietnamese capital is the commercial heart of the country and is energetic and chaotic with its mix of street markets, grand colonial buildings and skyscrapers. With historic temples, ancient pagodas, designer shopping malls and excellent restaurants, it is a well worth taking a tour of the city to absorb it all and learn about the country’s turbulent past. Visit the famous Binh Tay Market to try local food and barter for souvenirs and take a cruise out of the city along the Mekong River to see the stunning rice fields and its famous floating market.
🚗 Ho Chi Minh – Phan Thiet (4 Nights): We will then drive you to the bustling coastal town of Phan Thiet where traditional brightly painted boats fill the harbour. Enjoy four nights here with the excellent seafood restaurants, colourful markets as well as pristine beaches. With miles of sandy coastline, you can chill out or take part in the many water sports available. The nearby Red Sand Dunes are like a mini desert and provide a playground of activities from sand-sledging to racing around in dune buggies. From here we will drive you back to Ho Chi Minh for your flight home.
✈ Ho Chi Minh- UK: On your last day you will be collected and taken to the airport for your flight back to the UK.

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!
