Highlights
  • Magnificat Tours - Begin the day by meeting a private guide at your hotel in Lisbon and boarding your private vehicle to Fátima (pick up at your hotel or vacation rental door-to-door if accessible by our vehicles)
  • Valinhos Sanctuary - We start our day doing all your religious and souvenir shopping in a quick stop at Fatima’s shopping center so that you can have your objects blessed at mass in the Sanctuary.

We will continue our drive to Aljustrel in order to visit the Little Sheppards’ Houses and places of the Angel’s 2nd Apparition.

  • Valinhos Sanctuary - We will also visit Valinhos, where the Virgin appeared and Loca do Anjo – place of the Angel’s Apparitions. This is one of Fátima most sacred and peaceful places. If the weather and timing is good we will still walk up to the Plith of the Hunagrians doing some of the Stations of the Cross.

By now we will have to check how our pilgrims are! Most likely and after all the walking, we will be heading for a very deserved lunch! Our restaurant selections always include cozy traditional local restaurants.

  • Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima - The Chapel of Apparitions and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity are different places of worship within in the Sanctuary and allow visitors to tour. Don’t miss the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, which holds the tombs of the now-deceased children who witnessed the apparition - Saint Francisco Marto, Saint Jacinta Marto and sister Lucia.

  • Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima - From May to October there will always be an English official Mass at the Sanctuary at 3.30 PM - time for Mass is accounted as well as personal time at the Sanctuary for your petitions.

  • Magnificat Tours - You are tiered but your heart is full! We will take you back to Lisbon safely for some deserved rest.

a peaceful tour to Fátima - Thank you for a reflective tour to Fátima. As a Catholic family, it was important for us to have a visit where we did not feel like tourists. Our tour guide, Danielle, brought us to more peaceful areas on the trip. We did not feel overwhelmed by crowds and had a nice amount of time to explore the Shrine on our own. We recommend this trip!

Excellent tour with Daniel S. - Excellent tour overall. Our guide and driver, Daniel S., was punctual, friendly and so knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of the 3 children and Our Lady. Fatima was such a peaceful, little town. We saw the children’s homes, the church where they were baptized and the garden where the Angel appeared. The cathedral was beautiful and the children’s tombs were a sight to behold. We were able to stop by a store to buy souvenirs for family and friends. Daniel even helped us track our missing luggage! Highly recommend this tour. Obrigado, Daniel!

Informative, Enlightening & Wonderful Trip to Fatima - Daniel was an excellent tour guide for our first trip to Fatima. We spent time to see the village where Blessed Lucia, St. Francisco & St. Jacinta lived. He told the story so well for us to learn the lives of these children, and how the Angel of Peace & Our Lady appeared in this small village. It was an enlightening and touching tour. We were also given enough time to hear mass at the Basilica, pray, meditate and soak in the blessings of this trip to see the apparition site of Our Lady of Fatima.

Truly excellent! - If you are looking to fully immerse yourself in the history, presence, and spirit of Fatima...this tour is a must! Daniel was my guide and was very professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the history, landmarks, and message of Fatima. Being able to see and learn about the village where the children grew up, the apparition sites of the angel, and having free time at the sanctuary was fantastic. I didn't have to "waste time" with travel on tour buses and with large groups, and I'm so glad I didn't do just a half-day as other tours offer. You'll want a full day to immerse yourself in this incredible site! I did a LOT of looking, and trust me, this tour is the best!!

Great Pilgrimage - Daniella was awesome. The experience was worth it. We were a party of 6 and fit comfortably on her van. We also had lots of time to go around Fatima and get to contemplate at the shrine. She was flexible and worked with our needs and request. Definitely a must if you want to have a religious experience with Our Lady of Fatima.

A Holy experience thanks to our guide's professionalism. - This was a holy religious experience for my husband and me. We couldn't have asked for a better guide who knew ALL THE DETAILS. Daniel was the best! He's very proficient in English and could clearly communicate every detail, which was so heartwarming for us. We cannot be more thankful for him!
