Discover the story of the shepherd children and the apparitions of Our Lady on a private 3–4 hour walking tour in Fátima. Visit the Basilica, Chapel of the Apparitions, shepherds’ homes, and Stations of the Cross.
Follow the Divine Footsteps Through the Sacred Sites of Fátima
Fátima is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the Catholic world. On this private spiritual tour, you’ll explore the sacred places where Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta Marto witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady in 1917 — and where millions now come seeking peace, reflection, and connection.
Led by a knowledgeable local guide, your journey begins at the Sanctuary and includes the Chapel of the Apparitions, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, and the tombs of the three shepherds. You’ll also visit the homes of the shepherd children, the sites of the Angel of Peace apparitions, and the peaceful Arneiro Well.
Choose the 4-hour version to walk all 15 Stations of the Cross — a contemplative path of faith through the same countryside once walked by the children. Transportation is included for sites located beyond the Sanctuary area.
This private Fátima tour offers a deep and personal encounter with the town’s spiritual legacy — a chance to reflect, learn, and walk in the footsteps of the faithful.
