Wonderful tour in Fatima - Do not hesitate to book a tour with Magnificat Tours, it was the highlight of our trip!! Daniela was our guide and she was EXCEPTIONAL (and a good driver)!! I wish we booked an all day Fatima tour, but she made sure we saw everything important which we truly appreciated. Daniela is a walking Catholic encyclopedia and she made this trip a unique spiritual experience. For example, she gave us instructions on how we could go to Reconciliation there which was very special. As for logistics, my husband and I were picked up from our Lisbon hotel in the morning and Daniela was kind enough to drop us off at a different location in the afternoon. On the tour, we had time for a quick gift shop stop, toured the highlights (both walking and driving) and had time for our own private reflection. I am still processing all I learned from this tour since Fatima was a bucket list trip for me!

If you don’t have the full day, do the half day and you won’t regret it! - Daniella was absolutely amazing! My husband and I did the private half day tour and we cannot recommend it enough. Professional, clean van, knows the history of Portugal and Fatima. Was able to talk with us on the way there and back. If we could, we would have spent the whole day with Daniella! Thank you so much for adding the sweet touch to our tour. We will always remember you when we think and pray our Fatima prayer 🫶

Fátima 1/2 day - Great guide and itinerary! - Danilo was a fantastic guide. He went above and beyond at every turn. He was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He really wanted to be sure we saw and understood everything, even stopping at a couple of spots not on our itinerary to help answer our questions. A great 1/2 day trip with a great guide!

This was a perfect tour of Fatima! - The private Fatima half-day tour from Lisbon with Magnificat Tours was FANTASTIC. Our tour guide, Daniella, was super!! She explained so much and could answer all of our questions (and we had a lot!). And this was all done while she was driving us through a rain storm. Daniella is pretty impressive. She added in a brief visit at the shepherd's homes for us, which was greatly appreciated! She provided advice on how to see what we wanted to see and how to have our items blessed. The tour provided enough time to make some souvenir purchases, walk through parts of the shrine with Daniella, walk through more on our own, and we even caught the Catholic Mass. And it was so convenient to be picked up and dropped off right at our hotel in Lisbon. The price was less than other companies offering the tour. We highly recommend this tour!

Amazing day in Fatima - Daniella was incredible !!! This is a must do experience for families wanting to experience Fatima first hand. Her knowledge was second to none and her passion for her job and for educating her clients was immediately apparent from the moment you meet her. She was not only diligent, but extremely safe as well. Thanks again. Cesare e Famiglia

An Excellent Experience! - Our trip to The Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima was amazing. Our guide, Daniella, was at our hotel a few minutes prior to our departure time and was pleasant, intelligent, well spoken, professional and knowledgeable. We were immediately put at ease by her calm demeanor and her excellent communication and driving skills. En route, she discussed the Shrine, the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia, in intricate detail and Daniella’s spirituality was inspiring. Daniella is an exceptional conversationalist and extremely well versed. She answered all of our questions about Portugal’s history, local traditions, politics, customs, industry and agriculture. Since we were renting a car a few days later on our trip and unfamiliar with Portuguese highway and street markings, Daniella gave us tremendous insights into driving laws, tolls and road signs; this information proved to be invaluable during the remainder of our trip. Our visit to Fatima and the Shrine was a very moving experience, greatly enhanced by our guide’s expertise. We highly recommend Daniella and Magnificat Tours to anyone making a visit to Fatima.

Safety concerns - We were very disappointed with this tour. Our driver Daniel made us feel concerned about our safety. It was raining very hard. Raining so hard that other drivers had their flashers on and were driving slower. Daniel was driving too fast for our comfort level and was texting! When we asked him to please stop texting, he got very indigent and brushed off our concerns. He did stop texting after we firmly insisted that he stop. I think Daniel is in the wrong job.
