Join us on a private tour to the Fátima Sanctuary, a place of pilgrimage and devotion that draws millions of visitors every year. Located in central Portugal, this holy site commemorates the apparition of the Virgin Mary to 3 young shepherds in 1917.
During our tour, travelers have the opportunity to attend a mass or participate in the rosary prayer. The main pilgrimage site in Fátima is the Sanctuary, which is home to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Chapel of Apparitions. The Little Shepherds' Houses, where the three children who witnessed the apparitions lived, are also worth visiting for a glimpse into the events of 1917. Another important site is the Valinhos Sanctuary, believed to be the site of a fourth apparition.
Our knowledgeable guide will share the history and significance of this sacred site, and answer any questions travelers may have. The Fátima Sanctuary is a unique and unforgettable experience that will leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

Carlos is a wonderful guide, patient and knowledgeable. That he is also deeply devoted to Our Lady of Fatima allows him to share very relevant information about the Sanctuary, the history of Fatima and the lives of Saints Jacinta and Francisco, and Bkessed Sr. Lucia. He is also very attentive and caring towards the needs of everyone in the group, whether in terms of religious practices and preferences, food choices and mobility. It is my second time to have him accompany me and my family and friends to Fatima and it is always a very enriching experience for me.

Carlos is one perfect guide. He goes the extra mile to make sure his guests get the most out of the tour - he took us to Fatima for a day and made sure that we were able to visit all the important sites in the place, gave his comments about each of them all the while making sure we were comfortable and safe. He does more than is expected of a guide and is so kind, knowledgeable and respectful.

It was my first visit to the Sanctuary and it will be memorable. Our private group learned a lot from Carlos, who also gave us enough time to pray at the Basilica and different churches, and to hear mass. We learned a lot about the Sanctuary from Carlos. He is an excellent guide.

Carlos tailored our trip to Fatima exceptionally. We enjoyed the history of all the events, our ride to and from Fatima was just as educational. We were sad to have the trip end. Can't thank you enough for such a wonderful experience.

What an amazing experience! Carlos, our guide and driver was attentive, caring, supportive, helpful, and a wealth of knowledge. He made our visit to Fatima a more memorable experience. I had been there twice before, but did not know the things or see the sites that Carlos exposed us to during our visit. I came away with a better understanding of Fatima, and it’s hidden treasures that I had not had before. if you were looking for someone to take you to Fatima and give you the experience of a lifetime, I highly recommend Carlos and his company. No need to look any further you found the best!

This tour fulfilled a lifelong dream to visit Fatima. Carlos was our guide. We explained we wanted to see Fatima as people of strong faith. Carlos took us to all the main sites but what made this extra special is the way he personalized the trip for us. We went to confession, we prayed the rosary, we had our rosaries blessed, we made candle offerings into the burning flames. We took a spiritual walk on the sacred way. There is so much to Fatima, you would never see if you went on your own - We saw it all and learned so much. Carlos never rushed us, he seemed truly excited to show us everything Fatima has to offer. Carlos also took us to a wonderful place for our included lunch. The day was everything we had hoped it would be - it far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this tour if you really want to see all Fatima has to offer.

My family and I throughly enjoyed our trip to Fatima and Carlos was a fantastic driver and tour guide. We left from Porto/Gaia to Fatima which was a comfortable ride and Carlos was a great driver. He answered all our questions along the way and once in Fatima Carlos walked us around and guided us to things to see and do to make the most of the experience. He made recommendations that made our trip perfect. Recommend this tour and especially our guide, can’t say enough good things about Carlos.

We loved our trip to Fatima and Aljustrel. Carlos was a fantastic, well-informed guide and went out of his way to take care of us and make it an extraordinary day. The chapel of the Apparitions, the lighting of candles for loved ones in an outdoor "furnace", the Rosary exhibit and visiting Aljustrel to see the homes of the three children (Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta) who witnessed the apparitions of Mary were highlights. Also the visit to the Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima where the children are buried added to the mystery and beauty of this Holy Place. Thanks to Carlos once again who made it special for us!

Booked this trip a day before the tour and everything was seamless. Carlos conducted the private tour and is very knowledgeable and his warm professionalism made a positive impact for this experience. I visited in January and during this month you will have all the quiet solitude in prayer without the huge crowd of pilgrims. Carlos will take you safely from Porto, to and around Fatima and Aljustrel, then back to Porto. Whether you are a devout Catholic or a curious traveler, this trip is tailored for you!

Grateful for all who work tirelessly to keep the devotion alive to Our Lady of Fatima!

I enjoyed it all . I thought seeing the homes of the Shepard children was extremely interesting. I also enjoyed the individual attention and the knowledge Carlos had for the area. He was eager to please us and our conversation highlighted the trip. He made sure the trip satisfied our interests and we did not feel rushed.
Thank you Carlos,
You made the trip enjoyable.
