Lovely Day Trip! - Jose was a wonderful tour guide. I am so glad we close the private Aveiro and Coimbra tour from Porto. Jose spoke English well and related little tibbits of history all along the way. We saw places we didn’t expect and he made the extra effort to see that we were comfortable and happy. He guided us to an excellent restaurant for lunch. It was the perfect last day for our Portuguese vacation. Thank you Jose!

Excellent company! Very positive and easy experience. - My guide and driver was José Pinho. Firstly the car was a beautiful black Mercedes Benz. My favourite type of car that was clean, comfortable with leather seats. It was a lovely car to travel in for two days, as I had booked two consecutive private Day tours. José Pinho was always extremely courteous, polite, warm, friendly and professional. I felt like he really went above and beyond what was required to make my two days with him as seamless, memorable and enjoyable as possible. I am someone that likes to maximise my opportunities and see as much as I can. José Pinho was incredibly flexible and adaptable to my specific needs and he worked beyond the required hours of the tour to ensure that I got to see everything. I was truly impressed. There were no complaints or pressure from him, and he waited patiently for me until I finished whatever I was doing at every stop. He bought me numerous gifts such as souvenir magnets, food and water. He is a very thoughtful and lovely gentleman. Any time I needed help, he was always more than willing to help. This included making calls for me to check out reservation procedures for sights that I had booked independently, outside of the two private day tours. Aveiro and Coimbra was a very long day and he had a few more airport transfers that he had to complete after he took me back to Porto, but he still spent an incredible amount of time to pack my day with sightseeing. We were on the road end-to-end for almost 12 hours. I always felt comfortable with José Pinho, and he was also a great and safe driver. I would highly recommend Meridian4People and José Pinho to anyone any day and I would use them again. I wish all my tour guides and drivers was like José Pinho!
