<p>The Full Day Private Self-Guided Tour from Porto to Fatima and Coimbra was a magnificent experience! It exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Phillipe, was a knowledgeable, and considerate guide. His understanding of the culture and master of the language enhanced the experience. His guidance throughout the day included a safety net, that made for a comfortable, unthreatened time. His sense of humor and sharing of tid- bits was also so appreciated. Making for a fun, as well as, a spiritual experience.</p> <p>I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the beauty of the town as well as experiencing the<br/> spiritual beauty of the Processional. It was AWESOME!!!</p>
