Starting from the comfort of your Lisbon accommodation, the tour’s pickup service is designed to make logistics effortless. You tell them where, and they arrive with a sleek vehicle ready to whisk you away. This is especially valuable in Lisbon, where navigating public transport or parking can be tricky. The private transportation in a Mercedes or BMW not only elevates the experience but also ensures a peaceful, relaxed start and end to your day, free from the hustle of group transfers.

The bottled water kept us refreshed, and the spaciousness meant everyone could stretch out and relax.

Exploring Fatima’s Sanctuary and Surroundings

Once in Fatima, your guide will lead you through the Santuario de Fatima, including the Basilica, the Chapel of the Apparitions, and the impressive square. For many visitors, the spiritual atmosphere here is palpable, especially during pilgrimages or feast days. Our guide, Maria, shared personal stories and insights about the site’s significance, which added depth beyond just walking around.

You’ll also visit the houses of the three shepherd children, a quiet and touching glimpse into their humble origins. Spending around three hours gives ample time for self-guided exploration and reflection, and your guide can suggest the best spots for prayer, photos, or quiet contemplation. Many reviews highlight how much more meaningful the visit becomes with a knowledgeable guide explaining the history and meaning behind each site.
