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 Lúcias 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.

Our tour guide Madalena was so great! Transportation to and from was easy, comfortable and informative. It was a truly peaceful experience and wonderful way to see Fátima. Madalena even gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation after our tour. Would highly recommend!

Our tour guide was prompt and knowledgeable. She even dropped us off at our pick up site as the drop off was a long way for us. It was enjoyable to see where the children lived and the church was beautiful. A very spiritual moment.

This tour was FANTASTIC! In my case, I ended up being the only one on the trip (it was a slow season), but Alex was wonderful. I had so many questions, about Fátima, and Portugal/Europe in general, and he answered them all. I am a devout Catholic and wanted to go to mass and there was plenty of time. Thank you Alex and cook tours!

Beautiful, holy place. Tour guide was not very good. Did not speak loudly enough and left us to explore on our own without telling us what we were seeing or what to expect
