Begin your private Fátima experience with a guided walking tour of the Sanctuary, designed for travelers who want clear context, meaningful stories, and time for reflection. We’ll start at the Old Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, visiting the tombs of the three shepherd children and learning how Fátima became one of the world’s most important pilgrimage sites.

Next, walk across the vast esplanade to the Chapel of the Apparitions, the spiritual center of Fátima, where you’ll hear the story of 1917 and the messages that drew millions of visitors to Portugal. We then continue to the Basilica of the Holy Trinity (New Basilica), a modern architectural landmark that complements the original sanctuary.

Afterward, visit the Fátima Museum to deepen the experience with religious art, historical context, and key artifacts connected to the pilgrimage tradition. To finish, we’ll stop at the Berlin Wall section displayed in Fátima—an unexpected symbol of modern history and hope—perfect for photos and conversation.

After your guided visit to Fátima Sanctuary and the shepherds’ village of Aljustrel, we continue to one of Portugal’s greatest national treasures: the Batalha Monastery (UNESCO World Heritage Site). The scenic drive brings us to this remarkable Gothic masterpiece, built to celebrate Portugal’s independence and one of the most important victories in the nation’s history.

At Batalha, I’ll lead you through the monastery’s highlights, explaining the symbolism, royal connections, and architectural details that make it unforgettable. Explore the majestic church interior, the Royal Cloister, and the elegant stonework that blends Gothic and Manueline styles. We’ll also visit the famous Unfinished Chapels, an iconic part of the complex and a favorite stop for photos.

This is the perfect complement to Fátima: a day that combines faith, history, and UNESCO heritage—ideal for travelers looking for an authentic, private experience beyond the typical tourist route. Time is included for a relaxed pace, questions, and short breaks before we return.
