A few meters from the house of cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto, is the house of Lucia. Lucy lived in Aljustrel until 1921.

Valinhos is an emblematic place for the believers of the apparitions of Fatima, because according to the accounts of the witnesses of Fatima, it was there that the Angel appeared in 1916, and Our Lady on August 19, 1917.

Our guide was excellent. Informative. She was knowledgeable about the town, the shepherds and the Miracle at Fatima. We visited their homes and then went to their graves and viewed the church. She explained about where the Vision of the Lady of Fatima occurred. She provided other things such as the placement of the bullets from the attempted assassination on Pope John Paul had been placed in Fatima. Brought there by his holiness. We viewed the new basilica.
I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for your review; it helps my small business, as well as other visitors, to choose me for their tours. Thank you very much.
Our guide was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and she made sure we covered all aspects surrounding the experience. Very kind and patient and we highly recommend this company. We will book again in the future!

We had a fantastic time. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to make this an awesome experience. We will use her services on our next trip to Portugal! Highly recommend!
Thank you for your comment. Your satisfaction means a lot to us. We will be waiting for you on your next visit. Thank you very much.
First of all, our guide Catarina Foustino was Great! She pointed out areas along the way and when we arrived, her knowledge of the area was second to none. Her efficiency in getting my wife and I around the multitudes gave us more time to concentrate in our areas of interest. Nazare and its cool ocean breeze along with its approaching afternoon fog was breath taking!! Most kind Ricardo E. 10-15-2025
Thank you for your comment. We are very happy to hear that you had a good experience with us. We are particularly pleased that you enjoyed the extra stop on our tour in Nazaré. What is most gratifying for us is knowing that we were able to meet your expectations. We hope to see you again soon!
The driver called in the last few minutes before arriving and canceled the trip and we had no alternative to find an alternative vendor and we’re stranded and not knowing what to do for that afternoon
We apologize for what happened. However, I must say that a message was sent to you the day before the tour informing you that it would be canceled and that you would receive a refund for the money paid. This would have prevented you from traveling and "try to hitchhike". Our customers are our top priority. Disruptions happen, as do personal problems, so when we encounter them, we always try to contact our customers as quickly as possible to let them know. In most cases, when we receive messages through the Viator message center, we respond through the same channel, as we understand that sometimes cell phones may not work due to roaming services being very expensive,and therefore remain turned off most of the time.
Fatima was a wonderful experience. Our guide Catarina was wonderful. She was so patient and helpful with my mother who has limited mobility issues. I would definitely do it again.
Thank you very much for your review. Being a tour guide is a passion for me and helping people enjoy their visit as much as possible is also an important part of my job. I'm grateful to hear that you had a good time, especially your mother.
It was not a tour as we thought, We were picked up at the hotel and drop off which was very good. After pick up the driver took us to Fatima and drop us off for a while to tour on our own and drove us back to the hotel. There were not other passengers that day. From The tour description described s small tour of 8 people max. This ended up being a transportation to and from Fatima. We paid over 200 euros for it. Not the tour we had experienced before from Viator.
Thank you for your comment. We will be sure to pass on your feedback, and work to improve our customer service to meet your expectations in the future. Unfortunately, due to the World Youth Day event taking place, the usual car park was closed, forcing the guide to change the route. The solution found, although not the best, was the possible solution to avoid a long walk to return to the vehicle. We emphasise that this tour of only 4 hours was created for groups who just want a quick visit to the Shrine of Fatima and in order to respect the privacy and faith of each one we do not see the need to accompany the group while they visit the Shrine or make their prayers. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave us a review!
