Olá! / Hello! My name is Sara, born and raised in Coimbra, a city in the Center Region of Portugal I always loved to share my knowledge about Portugal with people from all around the world ✌️ I have a degree in Tourism, Leisure and Heritage by the famous University of Coimbra, one of the oldest Universities in the World, and the oldest of Portugal, completed in 2008. I also have a postgraduate in Art Studies in the field of Music, completed in 2024 at the same University. I acquired a vast working experience having participated in summer interships during my degree, working in tourism and events management for an agency and hotel after finishing my studies, and doing volunteer work in national and international events. I did my degree intership at a Cultural Music Association in my hometown Coimbra. After these experiences I have decided to start my own Tour Company and worked in it as Manager and Tour Guide from May 2012 to November 2020, when - because of COVID19 - I was forced to shut it down. During that time I focused on creating a YouTube channel and managing social media such as Instagram and Facebook pages, under the name GO! Walks Portugal. I made lots of free content about Portugal for people to enjoy! After things got back to "normal" I continued working as a freelancer Tour Guide, so I am available for hire! I have two comfortable vehicles that I can use for services throughout Portugal: half-day, full-day tours or multi-day routes, you name it! Within cities, I advise doing mostly walking routes and combine it with public transportation whenever needed. If you're planning on coming to Portugal, or if you're already here and want to learn about it, I am ready welcome you. Feel free to contact me for guided tours and routes throughout my country! I have no restrictions entering monuments and museums and I am a licensed Tour Guide (RNAAT 363/2021).

Overview of your Fatima tour

In this tour we will visit the main sights of the Sanctuary of Fátima with the place where the apparitions happened in 1917, nowadays the "Chapel of Apparitions". I will show you every little detail of the Sanctuary and its surroundings, so that you can feel immersed in this part of Portuguese History. After visiting the Sanctuary I will give you free time for a prayer, and if you want to pay a promise I'll let you know how that works as my family used to do this every year when I was a little girl! Fátima is part of my life, so I am very happy to share this place with you. I will also recommend a place for lunch :) We will visit the Shepherds village where the houses of Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta (the three little Shepherds) are located! We'll enter the houses and learn how they lived at the time, as they have been preserved just like old times! You'll see the daily objects that made part of their life, including clothes, furniture and kitchenware. This will be a very special visit, for sure!
