Itinerary
After embarking from Lisbon to Fátima, the opportunity arises to gain insight into the events of Fátima in 1917 and the journey through a tapestry of spiritual and historical landmarks, offering a glimpse into the miraculous events of the Marian apparitions.
Start your trip with a visit to the Fátima Shopping Center, where you can explore local crafts, religious artifacts and souvenirs. A unique opportunity to acquire meaningful souvenirs, creating lasting memories of your pilgrimage to Fátima. This initial stop allows you to collect tangible memories and connect with local culture before delving into the spiritual core of Fátima.
The tour then takes you to the epicenter of Fátima, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima. Enter the sacred grounds and be welcomed by the imposing Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, which houses the final resting place of the three young shepherds: Francisco, Jacinta and Lúcia. Marvel at the striking modern elegance of the Basilica of the Holy Trinity that awaits your exploration, offering a contemporary contrast to traditional architecture. Experience a moment of serenity in the Chapel of Apparitions, located in the exact spot where the Virgin Mary appeared to the three children. Experience the serenity and sanctity of this sacred space, a focal point for pilgrims from around the world who head to Fátima in search of solace and connection with the divine.
In the village of Aljustrel to discover the humble homes of the three children who saw Maria live. Visit the home of Francisco and Jacinta Marto and the home of Lúcia dos Santos, gaining a moving understanding of their lives before and after the apparitions with faithful reconstructions of scenes from the story using old objects such as family photographs, clothing, kitchen utensils and furniture of the time. These intimate spaces provide a personal connection to the history and meaning of the events that unfolded in Fátima.
With the conclusion of the return tour to Lisbon, we see this journey through Fátima as a pilgrimage of the soul, leaving you with a deepened sense of spirituality to the lasting legacy of the Fátima apparitions.

Our tour started in Lisbon, and the guide Paul was gracious in picking us up at our apartment. During the drive, he was informative and engaging with history and facts about Lisbon and Fatima. Upon arriving in Fatima, we first went shopping for souvenirs which we later got blessed at the Holy Site. Once we were at the Holy Site, Paul gave us directions before letting us walk around the chapel and site of the miracle, which was much appreciated as it allowed us to take in the experience at our own pace and honor our spirituality in our own way. The half day tour was plenty for us (we traveled with kids ages 7, 11, and 12), and we’d highly recommend this tour!
It was so convenient to tour privately with Joao. We were picked up at the car rental place the moment we returned back from Portimao. They accommodated the quick change of pick up location. We drove to Fatima and had a chance to see the shops, the sanctuario and the village. Joao was very nice. He patiently waited for us while we heard mass. Overall, great experience. Definitely a 5-star tour.
Wonderful experience! Our guide Luis the surfer dude made this special. He is very knowledgeable about the shrine and the history of Portugal.. He picked us up at our hotel. The ride to Fatima was pleasant. When we arrived at Fatima I felt a calm and peace settle over us. I’ll never forget it, we lit candles for our loved ones both present and passed.
The driver was the absolute best. He made the whole trip. BERNADO IS THE BEST! Best ever experience.
