Hi there! Nice to meet you

Jorge

Hi guys, my name is Jorge Mourao.

I am a Geography teacher and a senior public officer in Camara Municipal de Lisboa - the Lisbon City Council. I am passionate about my most beloved hometown, and I love to explore its urban history and architecture.

I’ve got a very energetic small dog that, as much as I do, loves long city walks around the small streets, riverside areas and upper hills of the central historical neighbourhoods of Lisboa.

My other passion is to explore the best of the authentic Portuguese food and wine culture.

I can introduce you to the nicest spots and to the not so obvious hidden locations, restaurants and wine drinking places, paired with the tastier food servings from Portuguese cuisine. I’ve come to know them like the back of my hand!

I can completely personalize this tour 100% to your liking. Just let me know what are your aspirations about experiencing the real Lisboa !

Pick me as your guide and let’s make your trip memorable. I know all the stories here and there, just ask my dog!

I will make sure it becomes a visiting experience you’ll never forget.

Hope to see you soon :)

Best regards

Jorge

Jorge, is such a friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide! From the moment I booked a trip for our group of 22 people he was helpful in all ways. Telling us which are was good, if the restaurants I picked where nice not a question was to much! The trip it self was great with lots of information about the beautiful city of Lisbon. He took us everywhere in 3 hours even stopped at a place for drinks with a wonderful view. It is not east to guide 22 people for 3 hours, but for Jorge this was not an issue. I would recommend Jorge to everyone visiting Lisbon it will make your trip more interesting and you feel so welcomed by an Born and Raised guide from Lisbon. Jorge, once again, thank you! Hope to meet you again some day!Best Guide you can get!

Jorge made the very most of 2 dreary days. He’s a city councilman and it really shows. He had all the scoop on what’s going on, past and present. A wonderful start to our vacation!

Our morning with Jorge was over and beyond what we expected! Jorge took us places that we never would have found and enlightened us with such knowledge that we now have a much better understanding and appreciation of the city he proudly calls his home. Not only does he know Lisbon like the back of his hand, he lead us away from the touristy spots to the more more local joints that were less crowded yet exceptional. Jorge lead us through “hidden” Lisbon at a lovely pace. I can honestly say that we have a new friend born and raised in Lisbon! Thank you Jorge! Fascinating and incredible

Exactly what we hoped for - a knowledgeable guide, insight into the history and hidden gems of Lisbon. Leisurely walking through cobblestone streets as Jorge told us about the buildings we were passing. It's funny, you don't know what you're looking at unless someone tells you what you're looking at! The only way to see a city is with a guide like Jorge! Thank you so much for the enjoyable day. P.S. He spent an extra 2 hrs past the scheduled tour time with us!A perfect day!

Jorge was great. Extremely knowledgeable about all Portuguese history. Too us to some great places and we saw and learned a lot. One thing that wasn't so great was that Jorge didn't hear my questions. Was possible he was thinking about the next thing he was going to say. Overall though a great experience. Especially for thise who want to learn the history of the Portuguese people.Good experience

We absolutely loved Jorge!!! He took our family of four (all adults) all over Lisbon showing us the many hidden gems, and giving us tons of insight and history in the city. We asked many questions, and he was a wealth of knowledge in providing answers to them. He spent extra time with us, and adjusted the tour based on our interests and what we had already seen. Can’t recommend his tour enough. Incredible, knowledgable, welcoming
