  • star rating  Wonderful company, staff, tours! - We had a wonderful experience with 4U2Enjoy, and have nothing but compliments for this company, but really for the people we interacted with. We decided to use them based on the reviews we read on this site (which we don't always fully trust), but in this case, the reviews were 100% accurate. Ricardo was extremely helpful and communicative from the moment we reached out to him a few weeks before arriving in Portugal. We spoke to him in person and he helped us design 2 different customized tours. I felt from the first time I interacted with him that this was a very personal company with very personal service, and that was exactly our experience during the planning process as well as during the tours. We were met at the airport and transported to Porto in a luxury vehicle. We were fortunate to have Miguel as our driver and tour guide, and he was incredible. For such a young man, he is extremely knowledgeable and professional. It is clear that he is passionate about his job and his enthusiasm in sharing his country with us was amazing, not to mention the amount of knowledge he has...there was not one question we asked him that he didn't know the answer to, and we asked a lot of them! We spent the entire day with him after landing in Lisbon, jet lagged and having only spent a few hours sleeping on the plane, yet we were able to really enjoy the long day which included three different short city tours and an incredible authentic Portuguese lunch in Nazare. It ended up being one of the best days we had while in Portugal, and we were fortunate to have another opportunity to drive back to Lisbon with Miguel stopping in other places along the way. We will definitely use this company again for any transportation or touring we do next time we are in Portugal and highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking the same.

  • star rating  Exceptional in every way! - What started off as a transfer from Lisbon to Porto turned into a dream vacation! I first contacted 4u2enjoy in 2019 and booked a driver for a transfer from Lisbon to Porto stopping along the way. Unfortunately, our trip was for 2020 and we had to cancel...4u2enjoy canceled our booking without any difficulty. Because of this hassle free experience, when we were ready to try again we contacted 4u2enjoy to make arrangements for a 2022 trip.

    After talking with Ricardo, what started as just a transfer became transfers, tours and hotels! Everything he suggested and every arrangement was spectacular! From the beautiful boutique hotels, winetastings, sailing trips and each driver was beyond our expectations! Each experience and location was special and unique.

    The only "kink", which really wasn't a kink was using a credit card....this was an issue on our side. Ricardo was great figuring things out and problem solved!

    Ricardo went above and beyond! Every detail was taken care of. This vacation, starting in Lisbon, then to Porto, Douro Valley and ending in Cascais was truly made exceptional by the hard work of Ricardo. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending 4u2enjoy!

    Ricardo....thank you! I look forward to my next 4u2enjoy (aka, designed by Ricardo) holiday.
