Lovely, moving tour

Anna_P, Oct 2025
The tour was lovely and very moving. There was a good mix of information shared and free time. I actually preferred the experince where our guide gave as background information while on the bus, and then at the locations, gave us free time to explore without forcing the group to walk to specific areas together - such a space deserves personal reflection.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re delighted the experience felt meaningful and balanced for you. Our guide always tries to share the right mix of history and free time, and your words reflect exactly what we aim for. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again!

Would not recommend

Mark_V, Apr 2025
It was not a good experience. Guide didn't explain much and was more into his smoking. He was courteous.

My experience

Helen_S, Oct 2024
The driver got us to and from the Fátima Sanctuary safely and I appreciated that he actually stopped to check on the tire pressure because the light came on. The down side was that he wasn’t very knowledgeable on the history of Fátima.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that the driver prioritized safety by checking the tire pressure. I agree that having a knowledgeable guide can really enrich the visit, especially in a place with such a deep history like Fátima.

Awesome trip to Fatima.

Beautiful day at Fatima

We were in a: small group and the tour was smooth and informative. Our guide and driver did a great job. The only downside was - we started more than 30 mins late which limited our time at Fatima.

It sounds like you had a wonderful experience at Fatima, despite the delay. We hope the time you had there still allowed you to enjoy its significance and beauty!

Awesome Tour

Monica_B, Jul 2024
Our tour guide/driver was amazing!! Took us safely and explaining the history of the place and Portugal 🇵🇹 on our way to Fatima. On our way to Fatima, gave us enough time to buy at the store that he stops. There are washrooms and a small cafeteria. Was patient and always stayed with us to guide us thru the shrine and gave us time for mass, pray, lighted candles, photos, etc. I will recommend this tour for sure to families.

Fantastic experience

Helen_T, May 2024
We didn’t expect we are riding a Mercedes and there were only 4 passengers so it’s like an exclusive private tour. Antonio, our driver, speaks English and very nice and accommodating. He brought us to the Souvenir store with really amazing Our Lady of Fatima statues to choose from. But most of all Attending that Holy Mass by the Fatima Shrine is really unforgettable. He even went out of his way and dropped us in our Holiday Inn Hotel. Thanks Antonio. Wished we could have reserved the whole day tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

We're delighted that your experience exceeded expectations, especially with the exclusive feel of the tour. It’s wonderful to hear that Antonio made your day special with his accommodating nature, great recommendations, and thoughtful service. Attending the Holy Mass at the Fatima Shrine sounds like an unforgettable moment. We’re glad Antonio could add that extra touch by dropping you off at your hotel.

If I were you I'd use a different tour.

Margaret_M, May 2024

Excellent tour. Bruno made the story of Fatima come alive. He was wonderful. We actually were the only two in the van.

Being in the place where the Virgin Mary appeared to three children was amazing. Our tour guide Bruno was fantastic showing us everything and giving us information.

A great time

Rosemary_B, Oct 2023
Our guide Antonio was very knowledgable, friendly and patient. We had a great time visiting Fatima and seeing the memorials to the children and our Lady of Fatima.

Great experience!

Yvette_C, Sep 2023
We started our journey in comfort and just my friends and myself, we were a group of 6 so it turned out to be a private tour. Although guide kept telling us he was just a driver not a guide he did a wonderful job showing us and telling us about the history of Fatima. The tour was wonderful. Thanks Antonio.

Was a great experience,...

DebK, Sep 2023
Was a great experience, even though it rained! A special place for sure. Certainly something to see.

Would not recommend

Jackie_P, Sep 2023
Our tour guide/driver did not pick us up and we left after an hour of waiting. We did not even get any calls, text messages or emails to advice us of the cancellation. What a disappointment. This was so unfortunate.

Half day to Fatima

Lydia_D, Jun 2023
The trip was great. Our guide Bruno was fabulous and very knowledgeable. Everything was very easy, highly recommend it.
