We had a very excellent...

Louis_J, Dec 2025
We had a very excellent and meaningful experience with this tour. Daniela, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, attentive and very professional.

Our First Visit to Fatima with a Fantastic Guide

Steve_R, Nov 2025
This is a private tour. My wife and I were picked up around 1:30 pm and returned about midnight. The vehicle was very comfortable. Daniella has been operating this tour for over 10 years. She has been intimately involved with the activities at Fatima for many years. We were able to attend mass in the Cathedral, say the rosary at the place where Mary appeared to the children, visit the small community where the children lived and most importantly participate in the candle light procession of the statue of Mary through the grounds with hundreds of other pilgrams. Daniella would guide us to all of the venues, tell us what to expect and then let us have time by ourselves to take in the experience. It was a very meaningful pilgrimage for us. We also had a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant.

Daniela was the best tour...

Daniela was the best tour guide! Very knowledgeable about Fatima (the kids and basilica history) and was open to answering all of our questions. She also took us to a great restaurant for dinner.

Joyful

Daniel was our driver/tour guide. He did a great job narrating our drive over, explaining upcoming tour. He was patient with as we asked all our questions. He gave us tips and tidbits of information of how to enhance our experiences while in Fátima. Highly recommend this tour.

It was a wonderful Visit to Fatima!

Charlie_T, Jul 2023
One of the best tours we have taken. Daniela was the ultimate guide for us. We highly recommend asking her to be your tour guide. She was clear in explaining the story behind the sites and was a very careful driver. Very kind and respectful of the site and his environment. You know that she loves what she does.

A oferta de uma experiência completa de fé e história

Bruno_S, Sep 2024
A Magnificat Tours foi maravilhosa em todos os aspectos. Foram mais de seis meses procurando uma agência que oferecesse um passeio à Fátima que unisse a visita aos locais das aparições, ao Santuário e permitisse tb participar da Procissão das Velas. Somente a agência oferece toda essa experiência. E o Daniel da agência nos ofereceu isso e muito mais na condução do passeio, destacando a história e a fé. Obrigado, Daniel e Magnificat Tours!

Maravillosa experiencia

Eduardo_T, Jun 2022
Nos gustó mucho participar del Rosario en diferentes idiomas y la procesión de las velas. Además el recorrido de las apariciones del Ángel de La Paz.

Response from Host, Jun 2022
