Ultimate Fátima Private Day-tour

Daniella might be the best tour guide I have ever had. She was so sweet and so knowledgeable. The tour was absolutely wonderful. I can not recommend this tour enough or any tour with this company. Even when my mom lost her phone Daniela called people we got it back. Also, the place they took us for lunch was absolutely wonderful. And at the gift shop you’re gonna start at on the way in. I highly recommend getting the cookies.

Daniella was professional and personable. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Very kind and caring lady. She went above and beyond. Catered to all my families individual needs and wishes. Would recommend this company thoroughly. She is a beautiful person and made the day trip memorable. We will forever remember her patience, kindness and understanding.

Daniela was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable and very personable. Communication from her through texts were extremely helpful. We experienced everything you could imagine for Fátima and more. The candlelight procession following the statue of Mary is worth everything!

Daniela Tome is the best guide for this pilgrimage-like tour. She was punctual, in fact early, in meeting us at our hotel. She started by asking about our expectations and special requests. She is motivated by her personal ministry which shows how she describes events that transpired in Fatima. She is very knowledgeable and brought us to all the places that we expected to see and experience. The candle light procession cannot be missed. The restaurants for lunch and dinner were superb too. The price is worth for this private tour. It was the best highlight in our tour of Portugal and Spain.

We planned a trip to Lisbon with the main purpose of visiting Fatima and in searching for tour options we found Magnificat Tours and choosing them was the best. On the tour, I was only with my mother and Daniel, who was our guide, gave us valuable information about the history of Fatima and the little shepherds. Although the tour was in English and my mother speaks Spanish, I thank Daniel for explaining very well and slowly because this way my mother was able to understand a lot and enjoy the visit to Fatima like I did. We left Lisbon on time and had the opportunity to buy souvenirs and, in addition to visiting the town where the little shepherds lived and the church where they were baptized, we had time on our own to attend a mass in the sanctuary and spend an unforgettable time without hurry. Thank you, Daniel, for your dedication in sharing Fatima's story. If you are looking for a tour full of history and complete, this is the option.

My mother and I did this tour, and had a great experience. Our guide, Daniella, was extremely knowledgeable about both the historical and religious aspects of the Fátima story, and we learned a great deal from her. She really led the tour as a pilgrimage, and it made for a rich spiritual experience. She was also very flexible and will to accommodate some schedule changes, based on what my mom wanted to do. All around a great tour, very much worth it!

Our tour guide, Daniella, was outstanding! She was very knowledgeable about the story & history of Fatima. There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer. It was an excellent tour!

Beautiful experience for my family of five (including three children 13, 9 & 7). Daniel was a wonderful guide, interacted well with the kids and kept the pace of our day appropriate. We followed his recommendations for lunch, mass and souvenirs: which lent well to a worry free, easy day.

We were so grateful for a wonderfully kind tour guide, Daniel. Daniel was punctual picking us up at 8am. He covered so many interesting facts and history on our way to Fátima . On this tour, we never felt rushed. We also stopped at the large shopping Fátima Gift shop to buy our rosary beads so that we would have best selection and also have them to be blessed once we had the opportunity. The private tour allowed for needed stops and plenty of time at each special stop. Thank you to Daniel for the most memorable day, truly unforgettable.

My guide Daniel was great! He told me about all the sites & then gave me time to explore & take photos. I was not rushed & I felt he respected the sites.

Our group enjoyed tremendously the visit to the children’s village and their houses, the apparition sites and the evening Mass, Rosary and procession of lights. Special highlights: seeing and waving “hi” to the oldest living relative of Sister Lucia and visiting the building showing the relics of Francisco, Jacinta, and St Pope JP2. It was a long day but well worth it. The entire excursion was made even more relevant, interesting and very educational by our very vibrant, funny and history-smart tour guide, Daniela, who made us laugh and cry, reflect and revisit our faith! -Raquel,Miriam,Perla,Portia,Rosy,& Alessandra

An amazing experience and will remember this for a lifetime. Daniella was informative and answered all our questions every step of the way. We never felt rushed she was always patient and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable experience.

We were looking for a prayerful private tour of Fatima, and our time with Daniela was exactly what we hoped it would be. She provided non-stop detailed explanations of every part of the Fatima story, stops in the village where the children lived, fields where Mary appeared - and of course the main site (which is highly built up now). We started the day with shopping ("to get it out of the way" as Daniela put it), had reservations for a local Portuguese lunch and dinner around Fatima, and concluded with a rosary and candlelight procession in the dark. I highly recommend this tour company.

Daniela is very knowledgeable, courteous, informative, and pleasant. Although a long tour, it is definitely worth it. Daniela keeps to a schedule, but we never seemed hurried. She knows her subject...believe me, my wife was full of questions. The restaurants were quaint, and the food was good. If you have only a day to complete the Fatima part of your bucket list, this is your tour.

My goal with the tour was to make sure I did not miss any aspect of the Fatima experience. Daniela did an excellent job with this tour, and exceeded my expectations in all aspects. We had ample time to explore or pray at every single apparition site of both our Lady and the Angel. We visited the homes of the visionary children and a museum dedicated to Francisco and Jacinta, now saints. All the while Daniela narrated the intricate story of the apparitions and developed the characters of the visionaries. Daniela was able to answer anything about the Fatima apparitions that she was asked, she was extremely knowledgeable. Daniela had researched the schedule of rosaries, masses and other religious events at Fatima for the day we were visiting. She had planned our tour around our language preferences to make sure we received the most out of those experiences. Daniela hand picked restaurants for both lunch and dinner since this tour ended with the candlelight procession, both meals were necessary. The restaurant food and service were excellent and ended up being our favorite restaurants of all our meals on our trip (that included Madrid and Barcelona). If you goal is to experience everything in Fatima at your own pace with an expert and believer in the apparitions, this is definitely the tour you need.

This tour was awesome! Daniela, our tour guide is simply the best there could be. Their customer service is great! They made sure they stayed in touch with me right up till the day of the tour, and Daniela showed up promptly. Everything was exactly as described. Good, clean vehicle, prompt pick-up, etc. She is quite strict and military-like but that is the only way to get everything done. As a tour guide she is very knowledgeable about the places she takes you to. The place she took us for lunch was also very good. I highly recommend their services!

I booked a private tour for my father (who is 75) and I because I wanted to be able to slow down or speed it up based on our needs. Our guide, Daniel, was perfect. He picked us up at our hotel in central Lisbon in a clean and comfortable Mercedes. We then proceeded to drive to Fatima! We stopped off at a mega religious souvenir shop right before we got into town which also provided us a quick coffee/bathroom stop. I thought about doing a tour that included a couple of other cities but that would only rush my time in Fatima. If you want ample time in Fatima, book a full day Fatima tour. I am so glad I chose this full day Fatima tour because we saw many important sites. We walked to the sites of a couple apparitions, the family home of Lucia, the local church that Francisco was baptized in, the local cemetery, and finished at the Sanctuary of Fatima. Walking around with our guide was very informative and helpful in picturing what it was like for the children back in the early 1900's. We had free time at the Sanctuary which was nice for us to walk around and take pictures. We had enough time to attend a mass or light candles and pray in the basilica but it started raining so we ended our day a bit early. Overall, a full and worthwhile day!
