Traveling through the country to Sintra and Cascais was filled with spring color and bright skies. Carlos was our driver/tour director who had an impressive command of the sites we visited. Our first stop was to visit the National Palace of Queluz. The opulence and excess were demonstrated in lavish gardens, an extensive array of rooms for every imaginable activity. The Park and Palace of Pena was seen from a distance along with other castles and villas. We enjoyed views of the Atlantic Ocean as we made our way to Cascais from the north. What we discovered was a picturesque seaside village, perfect for vacationing. Carlos provided us time to lunch and relax. The day was a wonderful day of discovery.

Carlos was a brilliant guide showing me around. We packed a lot into a day. He highly tailored the day for me.

We went to Sintra primarily and hopped out at a couple places near Cabo da Rocha and drove through Cascais (our goal was to focus on Sintra). The company is very professional and easy to deal with and I enjoyed working with Antonio to set up plans. The van that took us around was very nice -clean and perfect size for the family with lots of space. Luis, our driver, was an absolute delight and real professional. He got us where we needed to be, was always on time and easy to contact, and provided some helpful tips (and also took some great photos for us). Keep in mind the driver is not a tour guide and does not visit the sites with you. I could not imagine getting around Sintra any other way given the August crowds. Also reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide Andre was amazing. Very friendly and informative. He made the tour so much better with his friendliness and kindness. He also suggested a phenomenal restaurant where we had one of the best seafood lunches in Portugal with a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean. Name of the place is called Furnas Do Guincho. Also, Andre invited us to the best pasty shop and liquor store (we had a Ginja) in Sintra. Would highly recommend Seconds and Minutes for this tour. Can’t complete this review without mentioning Antonio. He organized everything and did a wonderful job. He answered every question we had and the response time was incredibly quick. Obregado Antonio!

We spent an entire day with Sónia on a private tour. Being a large group with ambitious plans of seeing many sights in Sintra, Cabo and Cascais did not faze Sónia and the team over at Seconds and Minutes. Regular communication to setup the trip and ensuring our expectations were set, this team is thoroughly professional. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and we saw so many wonderful sights! The team of Antonio and Sonia made this day the most memorable day of our Lisbon trip! Highly recommend!!
