Itinerary
3 nights – Manila
7 nights – Cebu
✈️ UK to Manila (3 nights): Fly from your chosen UK airport to Manila, where you’ll spend 3 nights exploring this fascinating city. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the bustling energy and cultural diversity of this city. Explore the historic district of Intramuros, where centuries-old Spanish colonial buildings stand in contrast to the modern skyline. Immerse yourself in the beautifully landscaped gardens, open spaces, and shaded pathways of Rizal Park, named after the country’s national hero, or head to the city’s oceanarium, Manila Ocean Park. For a spot of shopping, head to the vibrant district of Makati, known as the financial and commercial hub of Manila. Here you can indulge in a shopping spree at luxurious malls where you’ll find a wide array of international brands and designer boutiques, and also satisfy your cravings at the diverse range of restaurants, offering both local and international cuisines. As evening falls, Makati comes alive with nightlife with lively bars, restaurants, nightclubs and live music venues.
✈️ Manila to Cebu (7 nights): After the hustle and bustle of Manila, you’ll be ready for some downtime, so we’ll whisk you off to Cebu for the next seven nights for some serious R&R where you can take advantage of the stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. Lounge on the sandy beaches, swim in the turquoise sea, and try out various water sports activities. The diving and snorkelling are fantastic and offer a great opportunity to see all sorts of marine life and colourful coral reefs. You can also visit nearby islands such as Mactan, Malapascua, or Bantayan Island. Take a boat tour to the picturesque Kawasan Falls and immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting historical sites including Magellan’s Cross and Basilica del Santo Niño. Don’t forget to try out the local cuisine, including the famous lechon (roasted pig) and fresh seafood.
✈️ Cebu to Manila to UK: Feeling refreshed and renewed, it’s time to hop back on the plane to Manila then onto your onward 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!
