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 🫶

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!

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!

Seeing Fatima and going to the homes of the 3 children. The private tour guide was quite helpful and gave a lot of information.

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.

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.

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.
