Daniel, our tour guide was excellent. He was very friendly, providing us with plenty of information regarding Fatima and the visionaries. He also provided snippets of information on the journey to and from Fatima. The half day tour was perfect, allowing us plenty of time to see Fatima itself and the homes of the 3 children. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Daniel was an amazing guide! He provided a lot of information on things related to the tour and the places visited. You get to see the shepherds houses and get some insight on how life was back then. You get free time (almost 2 hours) to spend at the Sanctuary; you can attend mass, buy candles, get holy water from the fountain, eat, etc. After that time you will be picked up by your guide and taken back to Lisbon. Wonderful experience, definitely recommend for those who want to dedicate the visit fully to Fatima, as apparently some full-day tours will spend more time in other towns. P.S. Be considerate of your guide and be on time! They let you know at what time you will be picked up and exactly where. Be respectful and do not bring luggage with you (a personal bag/back pack is ok) as the van is prepared for people only.

Carlos Diaz from Cooltour was the most excellent tour guide. He is knowledgeable about the history of Fatima and enjoyed his commentary. Enjoyed the small group. We would ask for Carlos Dias as a guide because he is conversant in English, Spanish and French.
