Our First Visit to Fatima with a Fantastic Guide

5.00This is a private tour. My wife and I were picked up around 1:30 pm and returned about midnight. The vehicle was very comfortable. Daniella has been operating this tour for over 10 years. She has been intimately involved with the activities at Fatima for many years. We were able to attend mass in the Cathedral, say the rosary at the place where Mary appeared to the children, visit the small community where the children lived and most importantly participate in the candle light procession of the statue of Mary through the grounds with hundreds of other pilgrams. Daniella would guide us to all of the venues, tell us what to expect and then let us have time by ourselves to take in the experience. It was a very meaningful pilgrimage for us. We also had a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant.
Daniela was the best tour...

5.00Daniela was the best tour guide! Very knowledgeable about Fatima (the kids and basilica history) and was open to answering all of our questions. She also took us to a great restaurant for dinner.
Superb trip.

5.00Super great trip. Good discussions and explanations from our guide Daniela. Also we appreciated the good communication and confirmation of trip details from Daniela on the day before our appointment. We very much enjoyed our conversations and discussions with her. The candlelight procession at Fátima was very moving. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended!

5.00Knowledgeable and passionate Daniela was our excellent private tour guide on this 10 hour excursion. Our trip with her truly marvellous and definitely surpassed our expectations. If you are looking for an authentic Catholic pilgrimage experience versus a touristic visit then look no further than Magnificat Tours.
Thank you Daniela for an amazing tour of Fatima!

5.00This tour was a truly wonderful experience. I cannot say thank you enough to Daniela. She was an excellent host and tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about the Fatima apparitions and message. The pilgrimage was a truly holy and uplifting experience for my wife and me. I highly recommend this tour for any Catholic (and any one else interested or enquiring about Fatima). I would rate this as a "Must Do" experience when in Lisbon.
An unforgettable memory!

5.00This day was truly one of the main highlights of our two week trip to Portugal. Daniella was our private guide for the full day tour from Lisbon. We were shown the village where all three of the children were born, the apparition sights, along with the chapel and main sanctuary. Daniella was thorough with information but gave us quiet time for prayer whenever we wanted it. We attended Mass but the true highlight of the day was the evening rosary, around the original small chapel, followed by a candlelit procession with approximately 800 people devoutly singing and following the Cross and the statue of Mary. It was truly touching and a very special memory to me. Daniella also dropped us off for a delightful dinner before the Rosary began and transported us back to our hotel around midnight. I highly recommend this tour and Daniella. Obrigada!!
Joyful

5.00Our tour guide (Daniela) was superb and transformed our journey to Fatima into a wonderful and memorable spiritual experience. Daniela displayed a wealth of knowledge regarding the story behind the Fatima apparitions and the shepherd children and reflected a deep passion for this topic. She also provided us with many interesting facts about Portuguese customs and way of life in response to our many questions. Daniela was very organized and clearly communicated to us the details of the itinerary at the start of the tour. We also really appreciated her kindness and attentiveness throughout the tour. Daniela is most highly recommended! She truly is a wonderful person and exceptional guide.
The perfect private tour!

5.00Our tour to Fátima with Daniela was nothing short of extraordinary, earning every bit of a 5-star rating! From the moment we were picked up at our hotel in Lisbon, Daniela made us feel like more than just tourists—she welcomed us as pilgrims on a deeply spiritual journey. Her knowledge of Fátima's history and significance was impressive, but it was her extra layer of service that truly made the day unforgettable. Throughout the tour, Daniela provided thoughtful recommendations, ensuring that we made the most of every moment. Her safe driving allowed us to relax and take in the beautiful scenery, and her insights into the religious sites added a rich depth to our experience. The visit to the Little Shepherds' Houses and the Chapel of Apparitions was deeply moving, and the international Rosary and Candle Procession at the end of the day was a powerful way to conclude our pilgrimage. Daniela's attention to detail, from the perfectly timed stops for shopping and meals to her accommodating nature, made this day one that we will cherish forever. If you’re looking to experience Fátima in a way that goes beyond the surface, I can’t recommend this tour—and Daniela—highly enough. A truly unforgettable experience! P.S. We are Siamese if you please
