The Best Tour To Fatima From Lisbon
HOLY GROUND
About the Half-Day Tour
The Fátima phenomenon is bigger than the town and the country and we start the journey by visiting the three shepherds’ houses at the town of Aljustrel, four kilometers away from the Sanctuary.
Those were the family residences of Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco, the three shepherds that witnessed the apparitions of the virgin in 1917.
Heading next to the Sanctuary where there is a lot to visit, mainly the Little chapel of the apparitions, built at the exact place where the apparitions took place, and two Basilicas: Our Lady of the Rosary, that as the shepherds thumbs inside, and the Holy Trinity Basilica, one of the biggest catholic temples in the whole world.
At the sanctuary you will have free time to explore the religious site, including witness the mass and visit the different religious buildings that are part of the sanctuary. A unique journey through faith and history of one of the most famous places in Portugal. An incredible pilgrimage.

We are cool but not that cool. The paid amount can be refunded at 100% if the customer wants to cancel up to 24 hours before the tour. If a cancellation is made less than the 24h period it is non-refundable. In case of no show / cancellation in the same day, the amount will not be refunded.
Why sould the little ones stay out of our tours? There is absolutely no problem! Up to 3 years old it’s completely free and between 4 to 12 they have a 20% discount. Logistically speaking we just have to know in advance to make the necessary arrangements.
According to Portuguese law, children must sit on a chair or booster cushion as long as they are either 150 cm tall (4ft / 11 inch.), 36 kg (79lb) of weight or 12 years old, so the belt can be properly placed at the waist and not on the belly.
The question is quite relevant and makes sense. Our guides have academic studies and most of them are Tourism graduates with full certifications to make our tours.
In addition to technical skills, they were hand picked by their charismatic personality, passion for the country and its history and excellent communication skills. We can be cool but we will never neglect or be sloppy when it comes to discipline and professionalism.
*Without any doubt. We have a team ready to meet your needs. For your convenience we can adjust the tour and include alternatives so that you can have a memorable experience even without walking too much or not at all. Mind that we cannot change any tour in regular format, but we can do any tour in private. This way you have total control of what to see and how long you want to stay at a given location.
Anyway our tours are to be enjoyed slowly with several stops along the way, we are not in hurry to get you back home! Our vans are also very comfortable and have air conditioning so you can have the best sightseeing tour ever!
Yes, we have a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 8 for our regular van tours. Sometimes more than one van can go to the same destination but our goal is to keep small groups for greater closeness and interaction with the client. In exceptional cases we may operate with a 16 / 18 seat minibus during high season peaks.
However we do tours (in van or walking tours) for large groups and if necessary we request higher-capacity buses. For these particular cases, please contact us.
