See the old and new basilicas and attend a mass if you want, all at the same location. See the house were the children used to live, and get an idea of what the social conditions were like in early 1900s rural Lisbon.

Option to attend mass at the Fátima Sanctuary (time dependent)

This small group tour begins with pickup at your Lisbon hotel or central Lisbon meeting point before setting out on the 80-mile (178-kilometer) journey to Fátima. In Fátima, your guide tells you and your small group the story of the events in 1917. Following a short tour of the sanctuary, you enjoy free time to explore the area with the option to attend mass at the Fátima Sanctuary (time dependent). Visit the Chapel of Apparitions, the spot where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared and explore the two grand basilicas in the area—Our Lady of the Rosary and Holy Trinity Basilica. Next, head to the small town of Aljustrel to visit the homes of the three children—Francisco, Jacinta Marto, and Lucia—who reported seeing the Virgin Mary. Your tour ends with drop-off back in Lisbon’s city center, either at Marquês de Pombal or Restauradores Square.

I would like to join the 10/22 tour. I am not staying at any of the hotels listed on the booking form. Can I put any pick up location (i.e. Hard Rock Cafe)?

I would think so as we were staying at an Airbnb and we arranged an alternative pick up. Really enjoyed this tour! Have fun!

I called to make a reservation for this tour. I was told there was a space on Oct 17, 2019,. While the agent verifying the cost I got cut off. I immediately called again and talked with another agent. He also said there was a reservation available, the cost was $65.93. but after asking me several other questions as to where I would be staying and how long in Lisbon, he said that space was no longer . available. Needless to say, I am very disappointed with this. He then said there was only one other tour available, but it required reservations for 2 people. If Trip Advisor is to great, why did this happen.
