    Fatima experience

    The sites were special, and wonderfully preserved in some cases, and built in last several decades in other cases. Our guide Nelson was the one who brought these special sites (natural and man made) to life? He was thoughtful, detailed when we desired, reverential and pleased to be able to show and inform us! Can’t recommend him highly enough!!!

    Fatima tour

    Our guide Raquel was AWESOME! She gave us a thorough religious and historical tour through the basilica, cathedral and the homes of Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. We then walked the Stations of the Cross and learned of this great gift from the Hungarian people. She gave us tips on the 9:30 pm candle light Rosary and procession around the plaza. It was a wonderful day! Thank you Raquel!

    Excellent driver for hire

    We hired Luis for 2 days at the end of June. He was professional, knowledgeable, and an overall great person to spend a couple days with. It was so enjoyable we invited him to eat meals with us. He was part of our family.

    Response from the operator: Jim, thanks for your review. It was great to meet you all and to have spent those two days with you. Best wishes to all of you.

    Fatima, shown by a local.: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Coimbra.

    How much does Fatima, shown by a local. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $206 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Coimbra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Fatima, shown by a local. take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Coimbra is not rushed.

    Is Fatima, shown by a local. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Coimbra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Fatima, shown by a local.?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Fatima, shown by a local. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fatima, shown by a local.?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Coimbra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Coimbra and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fatima, shown by a local. start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Coimbra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Coimbra?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Coimbra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coimbra Top Attractions Walking Tour, Discovering the charms and places of Coimbra, Soft Canyoning, river Ceira, Góis, Serra da Lousa, Coimbra. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Coimbra?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Coimbra?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Fatima, shown by a local.?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Fatima, shown by a local. include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 43 listed pickup locations in and around Coimbra. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Fatima, shown by a local. offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Fatima, shown by a local.?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Fatima, shown by a local. wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Fatima, shown by a local. if the weather is bad?

    +
