  • star rating  The best choice we made in Porto. Professional and knowledgeable service!! 5 stars.  - Taking this tour was the best choice we made in Porto. It allowed us to see everything we wanted (plus more) without the headaches and stress of having to navigate it on our own. We were picked up and dropped off at our destinations flawlessly. Manuel was very nice, knowledgeable and funny. We loved learning about the city from him and his suggestions were spot on. If you are looking to navigate the sites of Porto with ease, take this tour.

  • 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.

  • 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  Punctuality, well planned, friendliness, well adjusted for our needs and expectations of the places visited, excellent vehicles, great restaurant suggestions were important factors that made us enjoy the whole experience. Since the beginning when we contacted the agency, Ricardo managed to arrange our trip and tours according to our needs. Our tour guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable in almost every aspect of Portugal history as well as the country's folklore. He tried to please everyone in our group making a perfect balance in the activities we performed. We have traveled in Europe, Australia, Africa, South and Central America as well as United States. Comparing the overall experience of 4U2Enjoy with other companies that we have been in contact, this has been one of the best!!!
