About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Colleen K0 contributionsWonderful private tour afternoon in LisbonWe were two couples for our tour. We were very happy with the tour and service from Americo with Seconds & Minutes. He was personable, humourous and customized our afternoon to the things that interested us most. We highly recommend Seconds & Minutes for any tours in Portugal. Once you take a quality private tour, you will never go back to 40 passenger bus tours. The quality of your experience is so much better with a private tour and the cost does not end up being that much different than booking a large group tour.Written November 11, 2024
- I5792TZmarkc0 contributionsWhat an epic afternoon tour!This half-day tour to Sintra and Cascais was an utter highlight of my current ~4 weeks travel. Américo was an outstanding guide throughout, showing me many 'off-the-beaten-track' (be sure to try the Port tasting and sunset at Cascais lighthouse) with a real depth of knowledge with the stylings of an expert raconteur. What sets him apart is his engagement and very real interest in seeing tourists see the very best of wonderful Lisbon. I cannot recommend him highly enough. For anyone looking for an excellent experience of a tour around amazing Lisbon, Américo is your guide.Written October 9, 2024
- B6674YYjasonm0 contributionsLisbon tactic !My guide was so friendly and knowledgeable! He took me to all the best sights and I got some amazing photos for family, friends and socials. I left the tour feeling I had a very good knowledge of Lisbon and its history.Written July 17, 2024
- Maps662820145260 contributionsA wonderful evening with Pedro.Pedro. Our driver picked us up promptly and gave us a wonderful tour of places he thought would be of interest to us. He was very helpful with handling my husband who has site issues and made sure we were seated in our restaurant for the best view of the evenings entertainment. The meal was OK, but the entertainment was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to the singing. After finishing our meal, we contacted Pedro, who picked us up promptly and returned us to our hotel, after having a delightful evening of conversation with him and his insight into Lisbon. We hope his thesis paper goes well.Written April 27, 2024
- soponoscristian0 contributionsAwesome experience.It was great. We had a beautiful experience with Fabi, who knows what is important to visit in a big city . Great restaurants, places, historical figures and important locations to visit. I recommend you to get this Tour. 5 ⭐ for me and my family.Written September 9, 2023
- Beepa19420 contributionsFriendly drivers/safe transport!Boris, of Seconds and Minutes was waiting for us at the Lisbon airport and waited and waited until we finally exited the plane, about 45-50 minutes after landing. International flights deboard on the tarmac using a stairway. A person in a wheelchair must wait until the ground crew provides a scissor-lift truck to offload handicapped passengers. Our travel companions met-up with Boris and the three patiently waited for us to clear customs and finally arrive at the Seconds and Minutes van. Boris delivered us directly to the H10 Duque de Louie Boutique Hotel. Minutes and Seconds also provided us transport to the Cruise Dock to meet the Celebrity Infinity. Our driver, Fabiola was charming and explained much of the city we were traveling through to the port. Seconds and Minutes provided a large van capable of managing six suitcases, a couple of backpacks and our collapsed wheelchair. The ride was comfortable and roomy.Written June 20, 2023
- Beepa19420 contributionsPure history and seashores.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.Written June 20, 2023
- Peruman1370 contributionsGreat private tour of LisbonLuis was a great travel guide. He is very knowledgeable about the city he loves. He told us a great deal about Lisbon and its rich history, much of which we were not aware of. It was obvious that he had done his homework. His attention to detail was superb. I would highly recommend Louis and Seconds and Minutes LDA.Written June 16, 2023

- MaryAnn410810 contributionsHappy I planned this tourSo happy I got to see an enjoyable fado show and see Lisbon at night. My tour started with a drive through Lisbon hills and neiborhoods with tiny streets. My driver had interesting stories about the area and local celebrations. We went to the top of a hill enjoyed as a meeting, conversation place of locals to have a great night view of the city. I really loved the restaurant tucked in a alley and the Fado show. The food was good and the music beautiful and fun. I was lucky to have an audience that enjoyed singing along. It was a fun experience I would highly recommend.Written October 25, 2022

Excellent half day tour of Sintra and Cascade. Luis our guide and driver was very knowledgeable and accommodating of us with a 2 year old in tow. Sintra and the surrounding area are worthy of some more time, but we were short on it and this provided us a great overview. I would highly recommend this tour company and Luis.

Luis was a wonderful guide & host. Communication was very good in setting up pick up. Luis is knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about our destinations.
Sintra & Cascais are a MUST see. We did the half day tour and if time had permitted I would have done the full day. Sintra is breathtaking with amazing views!
Cascais is a seaside destination with more beautiful views. Do not miss this tour.
Luis is also a photographer and was more than willing to take photos of our group. He even edited some and sent them back to us well done! Moat importantly Luis was flexible and patient, allowing us to take our time. We added an extra hour to our tour for 35 euro. I cannot recommend Luis and this tour enough! Thank you Luis!!

Amazing time with Carlos, who was knowledgeable and literally the nicest person. He had extra umbrellas for us and bought us Sintra bread. We felt very safe with him driving us through the hills of Sintra, and only wished we had a booked a longer tour!
