Daniella was one of the best tour guides we had in Portugal! Loved the way she shared information, and the personal time we had for prayers and reflection.
Dora_L, May 2025
We really enjoyed the half day tour to Fatima. Since it was not crowded, we had extra time to visit one of the nearby villages. Special thanks to our tour guide, Daniela! She did an outstanding job!
Christopher_L, Nov 2024
Daniella our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient with the short amount of time we had for a half day tour. We were truly delighted to hear the history, geography and religious topics that Fatima and Portugal had to offer and Daniella was sure to highlight all this and more through out journey. We highly recommend this tour with Daniella for the best Fatima experience.

We loved our half-day trip to Fatima with Daniela and highly recommend her! It was the highlight of my trip to Portugal!
Sandra_H, May 2024
Danilo was a fantastic guide. He went above and beyond at every turn. He was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He really wanted to be sure we saw and understood everything, even stopping at a couple of spots not on our itinerary to help answer our questions. A great 1/2 day trip with a great guide!
Penny_H, Oct 2023

Our guide, Daniella, was superb! Seeing the Fatima Sactuary was a wow moment! A must see for everyone.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you Mary!
From the full day to the half day - we all do our best to share such a lovely story
Lucy_H, May 2023
Daniela was our private guide and driver and she was extremely knowledgable, professional, and kind. It was very important for me to visit Fatima during my very short stay in Lisbon and she not only took us to the sanctuary itself but to the home of Jacinta and Francisco which was fascinating. The entire town has a very spiritual aura and it was a blessing to be able to visit. Daniela was extremely communicative and understanding even with last minute changes to our pickup location. I would absolutely recommend this tour company for anyone wanting to visit Fatima from Lisbon.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you Lucy!
We work and do our best even on a half day as we all know how important it is for our pilgrims to visit the shrine !
Anne_C, Apr 2023
Daniela was going extremely knowledgeable about the Fatima story and obviously very much enjoyed sharing it with us. I only regret not doing the full day tour that would have included the village and home of the children. Very comfortable transport as well. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, May 2023
Dear Anne
Maybe in the future you’ll be able to join us once more for a full day experience!
Either way thank you for taking the time to review and share with us
God bless you

Daniel was on time and very helpful. He provided us a car seat for our toddler and had a back up booster seat just in case. He had enough umbrellas for all of us. He explained the trip and informed us so much about Our Lady of Fátima. Attending the Mass is a must to complete the whole trip. We’re glad we booked with their company. Looking forward to more tours with them in the future.
Lewis_F, Dec 2022
The history of the children, the apparition sites for the angels & Mary, their graves and the huge (50,000+) at the outdoor mass. Daniel was superb in his knowledge, manners & safe travels.
Andrea_T, Nov 2022
We booked a private tour and had Daniel P Simoes as our guide. He was wonderful and very interested and informative about Fatima. We even spent time in the village where the children were born. Would highly recommend!!! Highlight of our trip!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thank you Andrea!
Its was our great pleasure !
God Bless you
AURAANGELINE_M, Sep 2022
We only booked the half day tour and we definitely regret that we did not do the whole day tour! So if you are reading this, please book their full day tour! It is a very private tour. Me and my husband were the only ones during the tour and it was so special. Going to the village where the three little shepherds grew up, to the sanctuary, to the chapel of apparitions, etc. was very moving. It reaches deep in your soul! I wish we had more time but Danielle was a very good guide! She walked us through the Fatima history like we were there exactly when it happened. It was magical to say the least! Words cannot express how grateful we are for this tour. Book it, it is life changing!
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Dear Angeline
We are sure we will meet you again for a full day and perhaps even with the candle procession :)
It’s such a blessed place it’s worth visiting twice
Thank you so much for sharing and your kind words
Robin_C, Aug 2022
Our tour guide Danielle was wonderful. Her knowledge of Fatima outstanding.
It is hard to describe the emotions felt when you enter the Basilica
Danielle ensured we had a memorable trip

We’re looking forward to meeting you again

Carl_K, Oct 2021
Magnificat Tour's Daniella was an excellent guide who provided detailed information about the Fatima miracles and associated holy sites. The three of us on her tour were greatly impressed with her knowledge and understanding of this significant pilgrimage site. This is a "must do" experience for anyone who wants to immerse themselves into the incredible Fatima story.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Dear Carl,
Thank you so much! Although a half day exprience - we tried to "squeeze" as much in as possible.
Happy to learn we've succeed in doing so
Kind regards
Emily_I, Sep 2021
First I will start by saying this was a magnificent tour by Daniella at Magnificat Tours. The booking was very easy through Viator and as promised it proved to be a great spiritual experience. Daniella contacted us before the tour to confirm time and location. She promptly met us at our hotel in Fatima. She tailored our experience to meet our wishes. She was extremely accommodating and wanted to make sure we had an unforgettable spiritual experience. She undoubtedly was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Fatima and was able to answer every question we had. Seeing the area where the 3 children lived and where the actual apparitions occurred is a MUST. Her spiritual passion was contagious. We wish she could be our guide for the rest of our tours in a Lisbon! I HIGHLY recommend this tour without reservation. THANK YOU, Viator, Magnificat Tours and DANIELLA for making this an unforgettable experience
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Dear Emily,
It was our great pleasure! Given it would be a Half a Day tour and you were already in Fátima - some tailoring was required.
We hope you've enjoyed the remaining days in Portugal and that the both of may made the best of the experience.
Kind regards
Randy, Feb 2020
Daniel took us to unique places. He provided very interesting points. We had a private tour and the half day was perfect.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Dear Randy
Thank you so much for sharing your comments regarding the half day
It’s a great choose for people with little time and although we’re more used to the full day experience - we’re glad that you enjoyed it
Have a blessed Lent
Kind regards
Melissa_L, Nov 2019
Flavio was great - he was our driver and he made the experience so personalised from start to finish. He was very knowledge able Fatima and about Portugal in general and took the time and effort to ensure we enjoyed the trip and experience and to answer any questions we had. It started raining during our trip and he rushed to get umbrellas in the rain. Go with Flavio, you will never be disappointed.!

Flavio, our tour guide was superb. His in-depth knowledge of Fátima helped to round out our understanding of the miracle that occurred there. We were very thankful for his input.

Karen_L, May 2019
We booked this tour after noting the great reviews. I could not be happier with the experience. Our tour guide was excellent. Full of knowledge and passion. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering the half day tour. Make sure you see both the churches and the home of the children.

Daniel, our guide was exceptional! He made our trip to Fatima incredibly special! I highly recommend this tour. The convenience of a hotel pick up and drop off is such a timesaver.
