About this activity

This is a tour designed for Catholic Pilgrims united in the Holy Trinity and Marian Devotion.

In 1917 three children witness the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the rural and uninformed heart of Portugal. Their lives would change indelibly - and with them, those of all Catholics in the world.

Meet the profoundly moving story of these children while deepening their knowledge of the Fatima Message, your devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Jesus and Mary.

More than a private tour, this is a religious experience that will fill your heart with hope and challenge you to take the Message back home. The maximum group size is 14 - it's always a private tour

You are tiered but your heart is full! We will take you back to Lisbon safely for some deserved rest.
Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima

4 hours

After lunch, we will continue to the Sanctuary. Occupying the area of the primitive land where the Virgin appeared to the children, today it is an organized structure for the reception of pilgrims from all over the world, visited by 4 Popes and graced with 4 Golden Roses.

Mass is at 6.30 pm always in Portuguese - but then again a mass is a mass and the organ is just amazing! .The Chapel of Apparitions and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity are different places of worship within in the Sanctuary and allow visitors to tour as well.

We will also visit the Museums in the area (expect on Mondays) .

During our time at the Sanctuary, we will also be visiting the tombs of Sister Lucia; Saint Francisco and Saint Jacinta - as his holiness Saint Joh Paul II stated, the two Candles God offered to Humanity.

You’ll now have some free time on your own for prayers and adoration. Until 2020 we are suggesting the Itinerary of the Pilgrim, a suggestion for the Pastoral years 2018-2020.
Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima

3 hours

We are driving for dinner between 7.30 PM and 8.00 PM as the Rosary and Candlelight Procession begin at 9.30 PM.

9.30 PM – 10.45 PM – Rosary and Candlelight Procession.
Casa-Museu de Aljustrel

2 hours

One of the most important religious pilgrimage sites in Europe, Fátima became famous in 1917 when three small children claimed to have seen a vision of the Virgin Mary there.

We start our day doing all your religious and souvenir shopping in a quick stop at Fatima's shopping center so that you can have your objects blessed at mass in the Sanctuary.

We will continue our drive to Aljustrel in order to visit the Little Sheppards’ Houses and places of the Angel’s 2nd Apparition
Valinhos Sanctuary

3 hours

We will also visit Valinhos, where the Virgin appeared and Loca do Anjo – place of the Angel’s Apparitions. This is one of Fátima most sacred and peaceful places. If the weather and timing is good we will still walk up to the Plith of the Hunagrians doing some of the Stations of the Cross.

By now we will have to check how our pilgrims are! Most likely and after all the walking, we will be heading for a very deserved lunch! Our restaurant selections always include cozy traditional local restaurants.
