Marta was the best guide we could’ve asked for! She was very passionate and knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. She was on time and made everything easy. She recommended a great spot for dinner and even stopped at a cafe for us when we needed a quick snack during the tour. Would recommend her to everyone!
Enjoyed every moment

This tour is very special. Anildo, our tour guide, did an excellent job immersing us in all the aspects of the tour. He led us through the station of the cross, took us to where the children lived. Anildo did a great job telling us stories and interesting facts about the history of the area and the details of the apparitions. I would highly recommend this tour.
Prayerful and educational experience
