One and a half hour one way. It turned out to a long day, but worth the trip if you made it to Lisbon.

Called and confirmed before 24 hours prior to tour as directed on voucher. We were told to be at a hotel that was 'next door' to our hotel about 45 mins before the scheduled start. After arriving at the appointed hotel which was really about two blocks away, the hotel concierge knew nothing about that tour company. We waited around outside for about 10 mins and they arrived and took us to meet the tour bus at another venue picking up others along the way for various tours.
It was good to have direct transport to the Shrine without having to figure out public transport on our own. The descriptions along the way was done in so many languages that I sometimes missed the English version. Good that there wasn't too much commentary. Stopped at the factory with some time to make purchases. At the shrine we had enough time to walk around and there were two services in progress. Return to the pick up point was drawn out with everyone to be dropped off. If you are looking for direct transport to and from Fatima without much more expectations, then this is for you.
We called the local agent to book the pick up for the tour. Once we we're in a hotel closed to one of the pick up hotels, we arranged to meet at a hotel 20 meters from our hotel. In the time we settled , we we're in front of the hotel waiting. One minibus with no identification came (among all the other cars and etc) and the guide got into the hotel looking for me in the reception. Once they didn'f find me as a guest (and Of course I wasn't) they run away. When I realised the bus could be the one, I went to talk to them and the guide and the driver didn't pay attention to me. I had to call the local agent again e had to wait for one hour and half for them to pick me up again. The rest of the trip was fine, although the guide has been very rude with some americans that we're in the tour because she refused to drop them in their hotel , that was up one hill. Once you pick up in the Hotel, you should drop them to the same point.
I didn't like the way she talked to them.
