"This was hands down one of the best travel decisions we made in Portugal. We booked a private transfer from Lisbon to the Douro Valley with a stop in Coimbra, and it turned into a highlight of our trip. Our driver, Luis, was punctual, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. The car was spotless and very comfortable, making the long journey feel relaxed and enjoyable. The stop in Coimbra was amazing. Such a beautiful and historic city! Luis gave us a great overview before letting us explore at our own pace, and his recommendations for what to see made a big difference.
