Hugo collected us from the airport punctually early morning to Fatima. His car is very clean and comes with the added bonuses of free high speed WiFi and water! As I have reduced mobility, Hugo always makes sure to drop me off as close to the attractions as possible so that my family doesn't worry about me having to struggle with too much walking. After a full day of private pilgrimage in Fatima, Hugo collected us the following day to Lisbon and enroute he showed us the village and the house where 2 of the young shepherd siblings lived and filled us with interesting background history. We even met the surviving niece of the siblings who now runs a souvenir shop in the original complex of the house. Before reaching Lisbon, Hugo showed us Batalha Monastery with very impressive architecture, simply stunning! And inside is also a beautiful Chapel. Thank you Hugo for a very interesting transfer from Fatima to Lisbon by adding these two must see historical sites!!
