Overview of your Lisbon tour

Join me and visit two of my favorite places in Portugal — Fátima and Tomar! Having grown up in this region and still having family there, I can reveal stories and traditions only locals know. You’ll discover Fátima’s deep spiritual meaning, from the Apparitions of Our Lady of the Rosary witnessed by the shepherd children Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta in 1917, to the remarkable faith that continues to draw pilgrims from around the world. We’ll then explore Tomar, home to the impressive Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the Knights Templar. As your private, educated guide, I’ll bring to life the true history of the Templars “written in stone.” You’ll also experience walking atop a real 16th-century aqueduct and visit charming hidden spots only insiders know. A perfect day for travelers seeking authentic culture, faith, and history from Lisbon.
