My husband and I went on this tour. We booked it the night before and WOWWW were we glad we did it. Viator is super simple and user friendly. Monica, our tour guide, was SO knowledgeable and soooo sweet. I was concerned that we wouldn’t have enough time in Fatima, but boy was I WRONG. We had over two hours of free time in Fatima which is JUST what I WANTED. The bus ride was smoothe and the AC was much appreciated, as the weather was HOT outside. We did stop at the Fatima factory prior to actually going to the sanctuary. We didn’t buy anything there as we knew there would be MANY more shops right outside the sanctuary. So no need to buy everything at the factory. You will have plenty of shops to choose from directly outside of the sanctuary. We didn’t choose the lunch option, but we were able to eat at a restaurant nearby Fatima on our own/ during our free time in Fatima. We went to three other places, very cool and interesting to see. All the places had surrounding bars/restaurants where you could get something to drink / eat and BATHROOMS to use. The final stop was Obidos , which was really beautiful and such a cute little, historical town. My husband and I were definitely glad we picked this tour. It was perfect for what we wanted. We would highly recommend. We got on the bus at 9AM and arrived back at 730PM.
