  • star rating  Great customized service. - A fantastic experience with great, customized service. I wanted to squeeze in a trip to Monchique from the Algrave. Ricardo was responsive and accommodated my schedule. Miguel was a fabulous guide and was professional and kind. I love being able to support a small business while receiving excellent service. Customized luxury at its best. I will rebook with them when I return.

  • star rating  Who would’ve thought that a car trip from Porto to Lisbon would be one of the highlights of our family trip to Portugal?! I arranged our itinerary with Ricardo who was extremely responsive and helpful. Our tour guide and driver, Carlos, picked us up at our hotel in Porto in an immaculately clean Mercedes van and drove us to Lisbon with stops at Coimbra, Nazare and Obidos along the way. Carlos is very knowledgeable about Portugal and gave us a great overview of the country’s history and geography. He also provided us with helpful information about each city we visited. Ricardo arranged a lunch for us at a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful view of the ocean in Nazare. What an amazing way to travel between the two cities! I can’t recommend Ricardo and Carlos more highly!

  • 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.

  • 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.
