Tiago was excellent at giving us information about all the areas from Porto to Nazare. He also suggested going to Óbidos and where to eat dinner in Nazare. We followed his suggestions and were very happy with his recommendations. At one point along our drive when we stopped for lunch, we were having difficulty communicating with the restaurant workers. We asked Tiago to come in and speak for us. He came right away. Tiago was very friendly and we enjoyed our time with him.
Dear jonathanpD8706LG, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that Tiago made your tour such a positive experience, sharing valuable insights from Porto all the way to Nazaré and suggesting wonderful additions like Óbidos and a great dinner spot. It’s fantastic that his recommendations enhanced your day and that he was there to assist when you needed help communicating at the restaurant. His friendliness and dedication truly define the quality of service we aim to provide, and we’re glad you enjoyed your time with him. Warm Regards, Meridian4People – Premium Private Tours

We booked a private tour to Costa Nova, Aveiro and Coimbra for a full day and it was exactly what we wanted. Our driver and guide, Cristovao (Chris) was exceptional. He was so flexible and knowledgeable and recommended an excellent place for lunch. Our tour was during a terrible heat wave so having a great private car with AC was exactly what we needed. Chris even stoped at Senhor da Pedra on the return from our trip. I would definitely book with this tour provider and Chris again.
