Private Tour to Fátima Sanctuary and the Little Shepherds Houses
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.

Capela Das Aparicoes
The chapel of the Apparitions is the "heart" of the Shrine of Fatima. It was in the place of the Chapel that the Virgin Mary talked to the little shepherds. Out of the six apparitions of the Virgin Mary, five of them happened in this place – May, June, July, September, and October – where, by the Lady’s indication, a chapel in her honour was to be constructed. Built between April 28 and June 15, 1919, it was later blessed, having Mass been celebrated there for the first time on October 13, 1921. Dynamited in the morning of March 6, 1922, it was restored and reopened on January 13, 1923.
Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima
The temple consists of a large nave with presbytery, transept and two sacristies. It has 14 side altars in each altar, a mystery of the rosary. One of the altars is where the tombs of Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia are. Since their beatification, a lot of people come inside to the basilica to see them.
