  • star rating  Thank You So Much For a Wonderful Time!!  - Ricardo came highly recommended by a family member who is a frequent traveler. We were a group of 14 traveling together spanning from ages 6 - 80+ and we all had a fantastic time. We had originally reached out to Ricardo to book transfers between Lisbon and Porto but we ended using his company for our entire stay for the week. He was responsive and provided great suggestions for our short timeline while in Portugal. We booked airport transfers through him as well and he was at the airport during our arrival to introduce himself and brought us to our cars.

    Ricardo had arranged a driver (Riu) for our time between cities ( Lisbon, Sintra, Nazare, Obidos, and Porto) and he was wonderful. We had one family member in a wheelchair and he always made sure we were in a convenient and safe location to get on and off. He was timely and was extremely professional.

    While in Porto, Ricardo had arranged for a wine tour in Duoro Valley with a guide, Joao and he was very well versed in the area and wine production.

    He also arranged for several meals for us while in Porto and they were all wonderful. We love seafood and they were all perfect for us.

    We had a wonderful in Portugal and Ricardo and team made it infinitely more enjoyable and stress free. We would definitely use 4U2Enjoy again when we return to Portugal.

  • 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  Trip from Lisbon to Porto  - This was a trip planned with 4 friends -
    It was from Lisbon to Porto and back to Porto with a number of stops on the way - We were welcomed to Lisbon by Ricardo, Rita and Jose at the arrival .
    The team with Ricardo was simply amazing , making this one of the most memorable trips -
    The hotel and meal suggestions were awesome -
    José was always punctual and we were always met with friendly smiles . We spent the second day visiting Sintra and the Nortada restaurant ( one of the best seafood in the world- Michelin star)We managed to visit so many places because of our guides that knew the sites and procedures so well -
    Jose even got us into the place were they make pastries - the line up was more than a block - yet he got us into the kitchen and ordered the pastries within minutes - he was always a wealth of information about different sites - he went out of his way to always accomodate us and made exceptional suggestions -
    He was an excellent driver as well - and roads and traffic in Lisbon are not for the faint hearted ????
    When visiting the Duoro valley Joesph ( our second guide )was amazing -the bottom line is that the trip would not have been the same without Ricardo and his team -

  • star rating  Family Trip to Portugal - Ricardo helped us preplan a wonderful itinerary. Jose Anthony, our driver, was knowledgeable, pleasant, accommodating and flexible. He introduced us to people and places during our 3 days spent with him, sharing with us the history and culture of Portugal. My adult son, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would reach out to Ricardo and Jose Anthony in the future.
