Sharing the regions history and facts on route to Fatima. Fatima is a definite must do when in Portugal.

Fabulous Fatima
Lovely day with fabulous drivers and a lovely informative guide. Not much walking involved , we had time for mass in Fatima, lit candles, stop at factory for souvenirs on arrival, visit to the village which is stunning and peaceful. A long day but stop half way there and back at lovely coffee shop.

Lovely trip but more time needed
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
Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Regarding the meeting point, we always aim to provide clear instructions, including Google Maps links, coordinates, and full addresses. We’re sorry if this caused any inconvenience and will review our communication to ensure it’s as clear and accurate as possible.
As for the timing, this particular tour covers several locations and follows a structured schedule to ensure all guests can enjoy the key highlights. According to our records, the group had approximately 2.5 to 3 hours of free time at the Sanctuary and around 1 hour at the Children’s Village. We understand that some guests may wish for more time at certain stops, and we truly appreciate your feedback, which helps us evaluate and improve our itineraries.
