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!

This is an exceptional tour company! After contact thru their web site and a customization of our tour we were met by Nelson Rodriquez in our Lisbon hotel lobby and started off on our tour. Trip from Lisbon center to the area is about 70 minutes barring traffic problems. We started at the church of our lady of victory in Batalha. Exceptional archecture! Then off to the various holy sights in Fatima. Nelson being from Fatima knows the area like the back of his hand! He has many years experience in the travel/ hospitality business and this allows him to excellent in meeting the visitors needs. We visited sites that you wouldn't get on the standard group tour. The village area of the three children to whom Mary appeared, their houses, the often missed apparition sights that are away from the central basilica square. Visited the parish church where the children were baptized and worshiped. Then the main basilica area with the chapel of he apparitions. Tour was at our speed,not rushed. Nelson was most articulate with the history and stories of the events surrounding the apparitions and the events since then. We were very pleased with the entire day including a super lunch. His transport van is clean and well maintained,his command of English is based on his early childhood in Australia and we found him to a very kind and considerate person. You can't go wrong with his services

Nelson with Fatima Experience is just exceptional!! We booked a 2 day tour of Fatima and surrounding area with Nelson as a group of 6 adults interested in visiting Fatima where Our Lady appeared to shepherd children.

Nelson was so wonderful to work with in planning the tour and was even more wonderful when we were with him for the 2 day tour! He picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon and along the drive north to Fatima, he told us abut the geography, culture and history of Portugal and Fatima. We had lunch at a fabulous restaurant owned by his in-laws and all of us enjoyed the food, atmosphere and courtesy shown to us. We also toured an olive oil factory. Nelson knew we wanted a religious perspective of Fatima and he tailored our tour toward that. We visited Aljustrel, the village and home of the three shepherd children Mary appeared to, and then visited Fatima, including the Sanctuary, Chapel of Appartitions, Our Lady of the Rosary Basilica and Most Holy Trinity Basilica. We were able to attend Mass at the Basilica and then returned to Fatima that evening for an international Rosary and candlelight procession which was quite inspiring. The next day, Nelson took us back to Lisbon with stops along the way at the Monastery of Batalha, the town of Nazare along the coast, and the walled village of Obidios.

Nelson personalized this tour for us, and was a delight to be with and the six adults in our group all thought this tour with Nelson was the highlight of our travels through Portugal! He was prompt, courteous, professional, knowledgeable about Fatima and Portugal history and culture, and was so very personable. His command of English was excellent. We truly would not have changed one bit of the fabulous tour he planned for our group.

Thank you, Nelson!

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.

My wife and I found this company after searching on Trip Advisor; and we decided to take on the private tour to Obidos, Nazare and Alcobaca. There was not a moment of disappointment at all with this choice. Nelson is very knowledgeable and is very patient in explaining all of the sights to us. His demeanour in dealing with our often-silly questions was tip-top and we felt enriched to have met him. Would highly recommend the Wonders of the West tour if you have a day to spare from Fatima. Even though a week has passed after this trip, my wife and I still speak of this tour experience. Thanks very much, Nelson.

My family and I visited Fatima for the first time (total of 6 people, mid of April 2017). It's 'the trip of life', one box in my 'bucket list' was impressively checked! ^_^ We experienced & witnessed a wonderful place, which full of blessings & loves. Nelson Rodrigues was definitely an important part of this amazing experience, he was really great by all aspects. Aside from his nice & friendly personality, Nelson also knew when, where & how to release the messages, allowed us to experience & engage with all those wonderful stories blissfully. Very BIG thanks to Nelson for such an amazing service, making our trip more memorable ^_^

This was our last day in Portugal and Fatima was our last stop. This was the first time a booked a tour on my own, all others on the trip were with Uniworld. I found Nelson through trip advisor. I can't tell you how amazing our tour was. He was wonderful taking time with us explaining the places visited all of the details and stories handed down from generation to generation. I asked if it was possible to attend Mass during our visit even if for a few minutes, his reply: there is a Mass at 3:30 in English and you will have time to attend entire Mass with no worries. We saw everything there was to see with some time to shop, never worried about time. He wanted us to enjoy and live every moment there. When planning a trip to Fatima, be sure to contact Nelson, if you don't you'll miss a truly outstanding tour.

My wife took care of planning this trip to Portugal. She is the type of person who does extensive research but also has this ability to filter out information (call it gut-feel). I believe our experience with Nelson exceeded all expectations.

On this trip, we had our aunt and uncle with us. All four of us are very different and have very different perspectives. Nelson, with his calm demeanor, has the unique talent of providing information that each of us were searching for. His intimacy with the history and culture of the regions of Fatima and Nazare is very evident (including the events that make Fatima and Nazare).

We also did a tour of Lisbon. Nelson suggested and introduced us to Inez Valencia. Together they gave us a tour we would never forget. Inez like Nelson has that passion that one can only hope for (I will do a separate review for Inez, but if ever one plans to include Lisbon, ask about Inez pairing up with Nelson). Inez' personality will completely disarm you. You feel very comfortable immediately.

Nelson (Fatima Experience Tours ) allows for extreme flexibility which I didn't expect even though this was a private tour. Price-wise, considering the services provided, I believe it is a steal. Through the years we have joined multiple tours, great experiences with great companies (e.g. Tauck), yet I would dare to say Nelson (and Inez) stand out.

I am not very good with words (look for my wife's more comprehensive review), but I hope this mini-review would entice others to avail of Nelson's services.
