Unforgettable experience for our Family My wife and I went to Fatima several years ago and wanted to return bringing our kids when they were older. The first time we visited Fatima, we did not hire a tour company. We walked the town and sites by ourselves. We enjoyed the experience, but left feeling we missed something. This year, we had the opportunity to bring our family of 7 (five kids aged 4 to 14) to Portugal and visit Fatima. We decided this time to hire a guide to take us around showing us all the Fatima sites. What a difference it made having a local guide! The experience was truly amazing! Nelson took us to each of the apparition sites, the homes of the three children, the parish church of Fatima, and the main shrine and pilgrim complex where the Virgin Mary appeared to 3 children with a basilica & chapel. Each step of the way Nelson explained in detail the history and significance of what we were seeing. We were able to experience Fatima through the eyes of the three children whom the Virgin Mary appeared to. Nelson was very patient answering questions from my kids as young as 4 to myself. We never felt rushed. He gave us plenty to time at each site to explore and ask questions. I can’t say enough how incredible the tour was. If you ask our kids what they liked the most of our three week travels in Europe and Africa, they will tell you Fatima. This tour made an impression on them they will have the rest of their lives. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to deepen their faith and understanding of one of the most important signs from God in the 20th century. Thank you Nelson this memorable experience!

Treasured Fatima! My husband and I had an amazing tour! Nelson presented the story of Fatima along with architectural and artistic history. He painted the story in a way that we could place ourselves in the space and time 1916 and 1917. Seeing the grave sites in the Basilica was so powerful for me in addition to meeting Maria Dos Anjos (Lucia’s niece). Our tour covered all the sites and was very complete. I highly recommend Nelson and the Fatima Experience!

Amazing tour of Fatima Area! This tour company is a MUST do for your visit to Fatima! Fatima Experience has the best tour guides! Nelson was absolutely fantastic! He was very knowledgeable, respectful, interesting and passionate! His ability to create the right mood for his tour is very impressive, I believe it's because he really cares and believes every little detail that he is providing us. I was so happy to see the devout attitude with which he spoke about all the happenings of the apparitions. My husband and I completely enjoyed each minute of the tour. We even asked him to provide us with an additional tour the following day of the Eucharistic Miracle of Santarem! He was very accommodating and absolutely delightful!

Ms Great tour!!! Nelson is very knowledgeable of the history of Fatima and explain everything with great detail.

Just what I had hoped for! We were a group of 4 and having Nelson as our guide was a Blessing! He is personally knowledgeable and gave us so much history and details; I had been to Fatima with a large pilgrimage 17 years ago and I was surprised to learn more details I didn't know. He also was gracious to make sure we did what we wanted to do, such as attending Mass, working around our wants and needs. He personally picked an exceptional restaurant that served us an authentic Portugese meal in a family setting. Although it was raining, he made sure to have umbrellas ready for us and didn't hesitate to continue the tour with us. From the comfortable pick up in a beautiful vehicle at our Lisbon hotel to the drop off, we were so comfortable and happy with Nelson's personal attention and detail to our trip that we walked away feeling truly blessed! I wholeheartedly recommend Nelson if you want to get the full, spiritual experience of Fatima in one day.

Best private tour in Fatima We planned an afternoon with overnight stay in Fatima during our 8 days in Portugal. Wanted to make sure we saw the important sites in Fatima. What we got was so much more. As a Catholic I knew the miracle of Mary appearing to 3 children in Fatima. Nelson provided the whole story in a chronological order while visiting the sites. Very knowledgeable and very easy to understand. All the little things that would have been missed visiting on your own or with just a guidebook. Will definitely tell our friends. Thank you Nelson for a very memorable afternoon in Fatima. He also helped us find a local pharmacy and recommendations for dinner.

An Impressive Fatima experience Prior to booking the Fatima Experience tour, I had picked three companies and contacted them to check their customer service. The first one responded me that the information was available at the webpage; the second contacted me enough times that it felt pushy, then Nelson from Fatima Experience, very politely responded with detailed information of the tour. On the day of the tour, he arrived in a spotless Mercedes Benz C class and drove my wife, my son and I for an hour and a half to Fatima from Lisbon. He told us his background, the tour schedule and what to expect from the tour. From the moment we arrived to Fatima, Nelson made every effort to make us feel comfortable and gave us useful details to understand the story of Fatima from beginning to end. The children, their families, the places they went, details of each apparition and we even attended mass. At the end of the day we could have not been happier, he drove us back to Lisbon and told us he too, had enjoyed the day with us. We had a fantastic overall experience and when you go to Portugal and intend to visit Portugal, book Nelson and your day will also be a perfect experience.

Nelson & his company are Exceptional & The Best My Fatima experience was way beyond my expectations. Fatima is beautiful in every way but I was blown away when Nelson enabled me to see and understand much deeper about Fatima. I have had private tour guides all over the world when I travelled and Nelson is the top of my list. Nelson is very gifted with his knowledge and he had a degree in tourism. He grew up in Fatima so he knew Fatima. Nelson is a man with many talents, his knowledge and superb communication skill, he is a bright man with the kindest heart. He was generous with his time and would never make me feel rushed. At several points in time, upon listening to his stories of Fatima which he presented with such a heartfelt passion, my tears rolled down and which was the first time for me to show my emotions before someone I just knew. We had several engaging conversations just like good friends would do. I have joined “The Magnetism of Fatima”, “Beyond the Sanctuary ” and the “Batahal Monastery” tours. My Fatima experience would never be so unique without Nelson. I would highly recommend him and his company. Nelson is a precious gem in Fatima. I’m grateful that I found him to take me around. No vocabulary can express how thankful I am. We will return to the beautiful Fatima and no doubt we will have Nelson again.

Memorable trips to Santarem & Nazare Nelson is a tour guide par excellence. Ha has a wealth of knowledge of the history and geography of the places visited and beautifully describes and presents fluently. His sense of humour is contagious. We had a good laugh along the way. He is most patient and reliable. Thank you Nelson for a memorable drive through the streets of Santarém and Nazaré. We shall cherish the day we spent with you and definitely will recommend you to all our friends. Keep up the good work. Best regards.
