Nice trip, enough to see main things in Fatima - The trip was very good, we left around 9:10h, took a break in a souvenir shop before Fatima center (cc 15-20min). We had cc 2 hours free time in Fatima (quite enough to see everything).
The aircondition in the bus was quit strong in the morning, so I recommend bring a some jacket or cardigan.

Great Fátima experience - Very easy & seamless trip to Fátima for a half day self guided tour. The transport was great & having our own time to walk around the site was great. Highly recommend

Chapel of the Apparitions. - It was a memorable visit to the Santuary of Fatima, be able to join in praying the rosary and after wards hear the mass at the Chapel of the Apparitions. A truly great experience particularly to us of catholic faith.

Not an experience but more of an ordeal - From the beginning, the activity was quite chaotic at the Gray Line station. There were no clear instructions on what to do, we were just on our own asking other people what to do. I was asked to wait for the bus by the curb since it hadn’t arrived only to find out I was among the last to board. We were dropped off and only given instructions on time and place of pickup but otherwise, we were pretty much on our own. I would not recommend this activity to others.

Wasted valuable time. - As a sole traveller this tour was perfect for me, the bus dropped us n the centre of Fatima. However the stop for 30 minutes at a Souvenir shop on the outskirts of Fatima is a totally unnecessary and a total waste of valuable time. Leaving us with only 2 hours in Fatima. Hence my low star rating.
