Great way to see Fatima from Porto - We arrived expecting a big bus full of people but there ended up just 7 of us on this tour. Our driver was great - knowledgeable of Fatima and the history. And he was a rock star leading us around Coimbra. It is a really hilly city and he drove us to the university, let us walk down at our pace - then he ran up and got the van! It was a rainy, windy day but a great way to see both these places in Pprtugal.

Well paced, interesting, and customizable tour of Coimbra and Fatima - Great trip with an excellent guide/driver. Our guide Tiago arrived at our hotel on time, answered all our questions with great professionalism, clarity, and genuine enthusiasm. He showed us his vast knowledge of Portuguese history and culture but was able to interject entertaining stories as well. He also improved our overall experience by reordering our trip destinations to avoid expected crowds in Coimbra during graduation day. He was also extremely good at customizing our tour of Fatima to our needs. The overall trip was well paced, entertaining, and a great value.

Perfect way to see Fatima - We had a great time! Margaridia was knowledgeable and kind. Her English and Spanish tour was perfect. We loved our stops in Coimbra, the shepherd town, and at Fatima. There was just enough time to see everything since we had a quick lunch in Coimbra and not the lunch provided by the tour.

Great tour guide and buffet lunch in Fatima - Francisco is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. Drove a small group of us (8 travelers) in a comfortable van. Glad he recommended the optional buffet lunch at a 4 star hotel in Fatima (great price with wine included), we enjoyed it very much. Noticed Living Tours have better vans than other tour company we joined in Lisbon. Bring an umbrella on a hot day for shade!

Fatima & Coimbra - When you're in Fatima you realize without a doubt that Mary actually did appeared before the three shepard children. Our tour guide Jose Luis did a great job showing us the area and retelling the story.

Overall the trip was fantastic but it had language barriers. - Overall the entire trip was fantastic. There was enough time to see as much as possible and to be able to shop for souvenirs. The only part that could have been better was that we had a group with two different languages with the majority being one language and only two of us a different language. I felt that he kept forgetting that he had two groups within his car. When he remembered or when I asked what he said, he gave a very brief explanation compared to what seemed a more lengthy explanation in the other language. I don’t think he knew my language very well. I know it said that language groups could be combined in order to fill a van, it didn’t work as well. That being said, I don’t think he needed to keep talking the entire time. But the trip was fantastic because I saw what I wanted to see. Our guide was friendly and polite so I can’t blame him totally, it was the circumstances.
