Fátima Private Tour: Shrine, Sacred Way & Shepherds’ Hometown
Immerse yourself in a unique and intimate experience with a private guided walking tour of Fátima. Discover the story of the three shepherd children—Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta Marto—who witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady in 1917. Your tour will take you to the sacred sites of these apparitions, the shepherds' homes, the basilica where their tombs are located, and the places where the Angel of Peace appeared. For a more complete experience, choose the 4-hour option to complete the Way of the Cross along the path once traveled by the shepherds.
What you'll see & do
- ✓Meeting Point at the Tall Cross Alta of the Sanctuary
- ✓During the transport to the shepherds' house, take a moment for a photograph at the Shepherds' Roundabout (without disembarking).
- ✓We will walk a section of the Way of the Cross, starting from the 9th station out of a total of 14 stations commemorating the Passion of the Lord and a 15th corresponding to the Resurrection. Finally, we will reach the Calvary where a chapel dedicated to Saint Stephen is located. ** If you wish to complete the entire Way of the Cross, please select the option of an additional hour tour**.
- ✓Passing through the Loca of the Angel, the sacred site where the Angel of Peace appeared to the shepherd children during both the first and third apparitions.
- ✓Visit the home of Sister Lúcia, dating back to 1885. At the age of ten, she could neither read nor write when she first saw Our Lady at Cova da Iria, along with her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto. Lúcia was the only one of the three cousins who spoke with the Virgin Mary.
- ✓Explore the Arneiro Well gained prominence due to the second apparition of the Angel of Peace in the summer of 1916.
- ✓Discover the interior of the birthplace and residence of the Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto, the youngest siblings of the Marto family who witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady. This historic dwelling, erected in 1888, offers a profound glimpse into their lives.
- ✓Return transportation to the Sanctuary, passing by the church where the shepherd children were baptized for a photo opportunity (without disembarking).
- ✓Located exactly where the three little shepherds used to play during the first apparition, this Basilica now houses the tombs of these witnesses who experienced the apparitions of Fátima.
- ✓Here’s the revised translation with your requested phrase: --- Erected by the community in 1919, following a request from Our Lady during one of her apparitions, this sacred space features the image of Our Lady, symbolizing the exact spot where the shepherd children witnessed the heavenly visions on top of a holm oak tree. Take a moment to light a candle or collect water from the Sanctuary, connecting with the spiritual essence of this revered place.
