Join us on a private tour to the Fátima Sanctuary, a place of pilgrimage and devotion that draws millions of visitors every year. Located in central Portugal, this holy site commemorates the apparition of the Virgin Mary to 3 young shepherds in 1917.
During our tour, travelers have the opportunity to attend a mass or participate in the rosary prayer. The main pilgrimage site in Fátima is the Sanctuary, which is home to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Chapel of Apparitions. The Little Shepherds' Houses, where the three children who witnessed the apparitions lived, are also worth visiting for a glimpse into the events of 1917. Another important site is the Valinhos Sanctuary, believed to be the site of a fourth apparition.
Our knowledgeable guide will share the history and significance of this sacred site, and answer any questions travelers may have. The Fátima Sanctuary is a unique and unforgettable experience that will leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

Carlos tailored our trip to Fatima exceptionally. We enjoyed the history of all the events, our ride to and from Fatima was just as educational. We were sad to have the trip end. Can't thank you enough for such a wonderful experience.

What an amazing experience! Carlos, our guide and driver was attentive, caring, supportive, helpful, and a wealth of knowledge. He made our visit to Fatima a more memorable experience. I had been there twice before, but did not know the things or see the sites that Carlos exposed us to during our visit. I came away with a better understanding of Fatima, and it’s hidden treasures that I had not had before. if you were looking for someone to take you to Fatima and give you the experience of a lifetime, I highly recommend Carlos and his company. No need to look any further you found the best!

This tour fulfilled a lifelong dream to visit Fatima. Carlos was our guide. We explained we wanted to see Fatima as people of strong faith. Carlos took us to all the main sites but what made this extra special is the way he personalized the trip for us. We went to confession, we prayed the rosary, we had our rosaries blessed, we made candle offerings into the burning flames. We took a spiritual walk on the sacred way. There is so much to Fatima, you would never see if you went on your own - We saw it all and learned so much. Carlos never rushed us, he seemed truly excited to show us everything Fatima has to offer. Carlos also took us to a wonderful place for our included lunch. The day was everything we had hoped it would be - it far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this tour if you really want to see all Fatima has to offer.

My family and I throughly enjoyed our trip to Fatima and Carlos was a fantastic driver and tour guide. We left from Porto/Gaia to Fatima which was a comfortable ride and Carlos was a great driver. He answered all our questions along the way and once in Fatima Carlos walked us around and guided us to things to see and do to make the most of the experience. He made recommendations that made our trip perfect. Recommend this tour and especially our guide, can’t say enough good things about Carlos.

We loved our trip to Fatima and Aljustrel. Carlos was a fantastic, well-informed guide and went out of his way to take care of us and make it an extraordinary day. The chapel of the Apparitions, the lighting of candles for loved ones in an outdoor "furnace", the Rosary exhibit and visiting Aljustrel to see the homes of the three children (Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta) who witnessed the apparitions of Mary were highlights. Also the visit to the Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima where the children are buried added to the mystery and beauty of this Holy Place. Thanks to Carlos once again who made it special for us!

Booked this trip a day before the tour and everything was seamless. Carlos conducted the private tour and is very knowledgeable and his warm professionalism made a positive impact for this experience. I visited in January and during this month you will have all the quiet solitude in prayer without the huge crowd of pilgrims. Carlos will take you safely from Porto, to and around Fatima and Aljustrel, then back to Porto. Whether you are a devout Catholic or a curious traveler, this trip is tailored for you!
Grateful for all who work tirelessly to keep the devotion alive to Our Lady of Fatima!

I enjoyed it all . I thought seeing the homes of the Shepard children was extremely interesting. I also enjoyed the individual attention and the knowledge Carlos had for the area. He was eager to please us and our conversation highlighted the trip. He made sure the trip satisfied our interests and we did not feel rushed.
Thank you Carlos,
You made the trip enjoyable.

July is the best month to visit Porto because It's not too hot. Our tour guide Carlos was fantastic! My family and I enjoyed our tour to Fatima. He pointed out things we didn't know. He was very informative, very nice and accomodating. He picked us up from our cruise terminal and had water already waiting for us. His Mercedes Benz van is new, clean, air conditioned and extremely comfortable with plenty of room for a family of four, but it could accomodate more people easily. I only wish we had had more time in Porto, but we will return and will not hesitate to contact Carlos for our next tour. We highly recommend Endless Weekend Tours and Carlos as a tour guide. You will not be dissapointed. Excellent service!+++

I took this Private Fatima Spiritual tour with Carlos who was absolutely extraordinary in personalization, flexibility, knowledge, open sharing, and also, understanding of desire/need for quiet time as we toured. I saw and heard about every part of the shrine, the spiritual walk from the Shrine to the children's homes and then the walk through their home. A wonderful lunch plus another stop or two on the way back to Porto where I stayed. Most tours gave only 3 hours for the shrine and I knew I wanted more time. I would highly, highly recommend Carlos for this tour and especially encourage other singles for the safety and security of such travel. It is a little more expensive for the single traveler for obvious reasons but so worth every penny. Thank you Carlos. I still pray for you!!

This day tour was definitely a major highlight of our 17 days spent in Spain and Portugal. Carlos was an excellent guide, taking us to a local restaurant for lunch and also included a walk from the sanctuary to the nearby town where the Shepard children lived.
It is good to avoid visiting the sanctuary on days around the 13th of the month since it is usually very crowded with pilgrims during this time.
