Trip of 8 including young kids to Fatima
Paulo was very attentive. He recommended the best order in which to visit the attractions and how to prioritize our time based on the kids’ interests and the number of people who tend to show up at different times of the day. We were able to see many things, and he was ready to pick us up at the agreed-upon time. We even had a little time for a quick coffee in the village where the cousins lived. It was a beautiful day, and we never felt rushed. This was not a full day tour which is exactly what we wanted. Our kids are 2.5 yrs old and a 7yrs old. A full day would’ve been too much.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Paulo helped you make the most of your day while adapting the experience to your children’s ages and interests. It’s lovely to hear that you could enjoy the sights at a relaxed pace, with even a little time for coffee. we hope to have you with us again soon.

Fatima
Our trip to Fatima was everything we hoped for. Ines made this trip complete with her knowledge and compassion. The drive to Fatima was filled with fun facts. Ines made us feel like we had known her for years. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Ines made your trip to Fátima so special with her knowledge and warmth. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon!

Visiting Fatima.
We had a great experience. Alex is very knowledgable of the history of Lisbon and of the story of our Lady of Rosary and the thre little sheppards of Fatima. It was a pleasure traveling with our small group.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with Alex. We’re also glad you enjoyed the small-group experience. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!

Disappointing trip
We were excited about this tour. Guide took us to Fatima. She took us to the town, gave us history which was very nice and we were able to shop a little. We then went to the church, she told us where mass was and then said she would pick us up at 1:00. We never drove by the other points of interest that were supposed to be drive-by and the. Ended the tour by dropping us off over a mile from where she picked us up. Truly a disappointing trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our guide did cover the full itinerary, which is exclusively dedicated to Fátima, including the Sanctuary and the shepherds' houses in Aljustrel. For all shared tours, our standard drop-off point is at Marquês de Pombal square, as stated on the description of the tour . We genuinely appreciate your opinion, as it helps us improve our communication to avoid any future misunderstandings that could lead to disappointment.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 345 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon?
+
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 Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon?
+
Around 121 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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group Fátima Sanctuary & Shepherds Village Tour from Lisbon 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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. 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 Lisbon?
+
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 Lisbon?
+
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.
