Memorable and meaningful tour of Fatima

Our tour guide, Miguel, was truly outstanding. Charming and personable he picked us up from our hotel in Lisbon in a spacious and comfortable minivan that we shared with 4 other guests ( total 8 on this tour). He provided insightful and meaningful historical details as we made our way to Fatima. He walked us through the small village of Alpujar, and provided meaningful guidance as he left us to experience Mass and the sites at the Basilica. He re-worked our tour agenda to be sure that we returned to our hotel in time to catch our flight back home later that afternoon.

Great tour guide and lovely places

Susanna was kind and very knowledgeable about the three little shepherds of Fatima. The village of Aljustrel was so charming. The sanctuary is huge and very crowded but you can find some peace and quiet in the old church and the grounds surrounding it. We would certainly take a tour with Susanna again. She was great!

Trip of 8 including young kids to Fatima

Paulo was very attentive. He recommended the best order in which to visit the attractions and how to prioritize our time based on the kids’ interests and the number of people who tend to show up at different times of the day. We were able to see many things, and he was ready to pick us up at the agreed-upon time. We even had a little time for a quick coffee in the village where the cousins lived. It was a beautiful day, and we never felt rushed. This was not a full day tour which is exactly what we wanted. Our kids are 2.5 yrs old and a 7yrs old. A full day would’ve been too much.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Paulo helped you make the most of your day while adapting the experience to your children’s ages and interests. It’s lovely to hear that you could enjoy the sights at a relaxed pace, with even a little time for coffee. we hope to have you with us again soon.

Disappointing trip

We were excited about this tour. Guide took us to Fatima. She took us to the town, gave us history which was very nice and we were able to shop a little. We then went to the church, she told us where mass was and then said she would pick us up at 1:00. We never drove by the other points of interest that were supposed to be drive-by and the. Ended the tour by dropping us off over a mile from where she picked us up. Truly a disappointing trip.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our guide did cover the full itinerary, which is exclusively dedicated to Fátima, including the Sanctuary and the shepherds' houses in Aljustrel. For all shared tours, our standard drop-off point is at Marquês de Pombal square, as stated on the description of the tour . We genuinely appreciate your opinion, as it helps us improve our communication to avoid any future misunderstandings that could lead to disappointment.

Small group pilgrimage to Fatima

Great tour. Small group of four in a touring van. Excellent driver/tour guide. Joao was very knowledgeable. He gave a great amount of information during the drive. The village and basilica area were both amazing. The tour could have been a little longer to have some more free time to explore Fatima.
