One of the most memorable tours I've been on and truly felt like a personal experience. From the moment I booked online, Nelson sent Whatsapp message even before our flight to Portugal, which made me feel that I was talking to a real human being/tour guide and not a random agent. When we were working out our logistics the day before and needed to start and end the tour a bit earlier, I called the number; Nelson answered immediately and accommodated our request. The next day, he picked us up in a comfortable Mercedes Benz and gave us a wonderful, informative, and touching pilgrim's tour of Fatima, telling stories along the way. He sparked the imagination and helped us to imagine and feel the story of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary and the lives of the children and all those who experienced this miracle during the time it happened. Thank you, Nelson! We highly recommend this tour.

We had the most special private tour of Fatima with Nelson as our Guide. Nelson radiates peace and love so just the drive there had us feeling so ready for the beautiful experience ahead of us. Nelson is so knowledgeable and even though we knew a lot about the story of Fatima, we learnt so much. Everything we saw and experienced was amazing and I can’t recommend enough doing a private tour with Nelson. Thank you Nelson for such an amazing day and Evelyn (mum) and I wish you and your family God’s blessings in every aspect of your lives. Thanks, Esther

The #1 Fatima tour, no question. Nelson, our guide and the founder of Fatima Experience, is such a professional with an encyclopedic knowledge of the local area and history. He provided a truly personalized tour experience and we were able to get a full day of immersion at Fatima, the surrounding village, and the basilicas. He is a very eloquent speaker and a captivating orator. You can spend hours listening to him speak because he is very passionate about history and culture. The tour is also very reasonably priced for the value. I would highly recommend Nelson for Fatima tour and any other tour he offers. We hope to visit Portugal again soon and book another tour with him! Thanks so much, Nelson and Fatima Experience!

Visiting Fatima with Nelson was one of the top highlights of my two week trip to Portugal! Nelson is a terrific guide who lives in Fatima and knows how to make the stories come alive. He is also an extremely careful driver and picked up and dropped off my family and I in Lisbon where we were staying. Prior to visiting Fatima, we stopped at Obidos. Nelson also surprised us by stopping at one of his favorite places along the way for pastel del nata. It was delicious! He also suggested a lovely place in Fatima for lunch where we all enjoyed a wonderful meal. My visit to Fatima is one I will always remember very fondly and treasure dearly. I highly recommend Nelson!

Nelson was an excellent tour guide. He was patient and easy to understand. We did a private half day tour which was amazing. It was the highlight of our trip! We all learned so much about the history, sites, etc. that we otherwise would not have known if we did not have him as our tour guide. Highly recommend!

I am incredibly thankful that I got to experience this Fatima tour. My grandma, my little sister, and I went to Fatima to visit one of the places Mary appeared. Originally, we had planned to just visit the sanctuary area. I am so glad that we also went on this tour. Nelson was very patient with my grandma, who has limited mobility, making sure that she was comfortable the whole time. His knowledge of the three shepherd children was immense. Going on this tour before seeing the sanctuary area enabled my family to really understand the circumstances surrounding Mary's apparitions. This tour was beautiful and very meaningful. I would recommend it for anyone who visits Fatima.

Highly recommend Fatima Experience with Nelson! Nelson is professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable about the shrine, history and significance of Fatima. As a true local he is able to provide a personalized tour that caters to the interests of each guest. Indeed, his recommendations for other points of interests in Portugal were spot-on. If you have the time, please do visit the village along with the shrine. Walking through the areas where Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta lived and experienced the miracle of Fatima was the highlight of our day. Nelson picked us up at our hotel in Porto (very comfortable and clean sedan). Along the way he prepared us with introductory information about Fatima. Once there, he imparted details about the basilica, the shrine and historical events that not only put the miracle of Fatima into context but also gave us a sense of the impact of Fatima beyond the realm of those who already believe. I want to note that Fatima is not only for Catholics or Christians and Nelson is able to cater the tour and topics accordingly. After lunch enjoyed at one of Nelson’s recommendations and with Nelson, we drove to the village. For me, this was the highlight. Here I felt a sense of peace, as we walked along the roads listening to Nelson discuss the children’s daily lives and the miracles that had occurred there as well. Nelson then drove us to our hotel in Lisbon. On that drive home we enjoyed great conversation with Nelson about a myriad of topics on Portugal, Europe and current events. Do not hesitate- book this tour!
