The whole ride, all written and explained. Totally satisfied
Wir bedanken uns herzlich für Ihr Feedback und die Zeit, die Sie sich genommen haben, um Ihre Erfahrungen mit uns zu teilen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen.
My sister and I went to Fatima, and delighted to get there and we had a lovely driver and guide but the meeting point we were given was incorrect as we got to our named meeting point luckily I decided to go to reception and inquire if it was the correct location and they informed me that we needed to go back down the road to a bus stop point and the coordinates given did not work either. Tour was great except for the ridiculous rush in time everywhere which was uncalled for in my opinion and very stressful and everyone on the tour commented on it as well and this was my third trip to Fatima and the most frustrating one because of the time limits and very unfair as we could not even view the well area etc in the children's village as 13 minutes only allowed at Lucia's home etc

Amazing experience! One of the only tours to Fátima from the Algarve region. Got picked up (family of 4) from our hotel in Albufeira at around 6.30am and transferred to a big coach where we went all the way to Fátima. Spent around 3-4 hours there saw the sanctuary and the village where the shepherds had the apparitions
Really fantastic trip I'd highly recommend it great guide and journey was very comfortable really well organised
