Flavio was a terrific tour guide. He took my mother and Aunt to Fatima and they could not speak anymore highly of him. My mother was having a hard time walking and he helped her with her wheelchair while explaining all the sites. He also sent back detailed pictures to me of their experience. His kindness was extraordinary and I can’t thank him enough. Prago! Flavio!
Our guide, Flavio, was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I had an outstanding experience with him. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. From the start, Flavio ensured that we never felt rushed. He gave us plenty of time to browse the gift shop on our way to Fatima, which we greatly appreciated. Once we arrived in Fatima, he shared his knowledge of the site and patiently answered all of our questions. One of the highlights of our visit was Flavio arranging for us to meet a priest he knew, who kindly blessed our religious items. This thoughtful gesture made our experience even more meaningful. He also made sure we had the opportunity to attend a full one-hour Mass without feeling pressured for time. In addition, Flavio took us to an excellent local restaurant where residents dine, allowing us to enjoy an authentic meal away from the crowds of tour bus tourists. Our visit to Fatima was truly exceptional, and much of that was thanks to Flavio's care, expertise, and attention to detail. We are sincerely grateful for this memorable experience and highly recommend him as a guide.
We knew we were in for a good time when we met Daniela in the lobby of our hotel! We immediately connected with her intellect and humor. As soon as we got into the mini van, she began helping us understand the history behind the Fatima apparitions. Being a devout Catholic, she was able to explain everything we were about to see and experience in exquisite detail over the 90 minute drive. Upon our arrival, we walked through the town where the children were born and experienced their lives through her knowledge of the town, their homes, families, and customs. We then proceeded to the Shrine where Daniela once again provided amazing detail and clarity around what we were witnessing. One thing we really loved was the opportunity to have private time to contemplate and pray at various stops along the way and it really helped internalize the experience. We attended mass at 3:30 PM to finish off the tour and it was a wonderful bookend to a beautiful day. If your goal is a deep and moving immersion into the Fatima experience, you should request Daniela!
My wife and I loved this tour. Our guide Daniella was exceptional. She has a passion for her job, and a love of Fatima and Our Lady. Excellent experience.
This full day experience covered the details of the Blessed Mother’s visit to the 3 children in Fatima. We visited the homes of the children, walked the Way of the Cross, visited the shrine and attended a Mass in English,. Our guide Daniel was intimately familiar and very enthusiastic about the story and was an integral part of making this day so special.
Daniella was an exceptional guide for our full-day private tour to Fátima. Her deep knowledge of the sanctuary's history and her ability to navigate the site with such respect and insight made the day truly special. Having a private guide of her caliber allowed us to appreciate the spiritual and historical significance of Fátima at our own pace. She was professional, punctual, and a pleasure to spend the day with.

Daniela was timely, professional, and respectful to everyone—whether you are very religious or not at all. She guided us smoothly into the restaurant and then gave us space to enjoy lunch on our own, which we really appreciated. The van was clean and comfortable, and she thoughtfully provided chairs for us to sit in during Mass in the square. The information shared throughout the tour was truly priceless, and it was such a relief not having to worry about how to get from one site to the next. Take this tour—you won’t regret it. She gives this special experience the respect and level of excellence it deserves.
This tour exceeded our expectations in large part due to the incredible knowledge and sincere approach by our tour guide Daniela. At the start of the day, she gave us an opportunity to customize the tour to our liking which was truly appreciated. She answered all of our questions with clarity and depth! And knowing our interests, Daniela was kind enough to offer suggestions for our remaining time in Lisbon - tips that you would never find on the internet or in tourist books. Highly recommended tour!!!
