5.00Our guide, Rita, was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well so we were able to get the most out of the tour. The tour took us to the homes of the “little shepherds” and to the sites of all the apparitions. Rita’s knowledge of both history and religious significance added to the experience. It was hot (90F/29C) but the walking pace was comfortable even with the heat.
Worthwhile Pilgrimage!

5.00The BEST Tour we have had! First, Raquel our guide is very much knowledgeable, fun loving and put her heart out. She elaborates most of the details and made it worthwhile pilgrimage. She is very sensitive to our needs, give us the rest and photo we needed. She has depth and strong history background. It is not your typical tour since she has given more to it. Thank you Raquel!

5.00Can't say enough good things about this tour & tour guide! I was already familiar with the locations and history, even have a PhD in theology, but the personality of the guide and her telling of the details, her genuine personality, and true friendliness is what made this so much better than seeing the sights alone. If you want to see the sites, hear the true history, and feel the message kindness of Fatima through a wonderful guide. Book this tour!
