The Mouraria, Lisbon’s district with Moorish roots, stands out as one of its most fascinating sectors. This area has recently evolved into a vibrant, multicultural hub distinct from the rest of the city. Over time, it has experienced significant urban regeneration, a process that is still ongoing and frequently under public oversight.

A fascinating gem of Lisbon - Luis, our guide, did a wonderful job of taking us through the history of Mouravia. His passion for the area showed and he was very accommodating to our needs. While the area itself has gone through changes, the history is integral to the development of Lisbon. I recommend discovering the fascinating story of this barrio with Luis.

A knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide of the old Moorish district of Lisbon - A great tour of the old Moorish district of Lisbon. My wife and I just took this tour. Luis is well versed in the history, art, and architecture of the area and his passion and enthusiasm for his subject is evident. His English is fluent and sophisticated. I have a slight walking disability, making for a slow pace, but he conscientiously adjusted timing and pace accordingly. Thank you, Luis, for a wonderful afternoon.

Interesting tour of a less touristic part of Lisbon - Luis was very knowledgeable and provided very good descriptions of the the history and cultural aspects of the development of the Mouraria. He had many photos and descriptions to illustrate his tour. This area is not a main tourist area so it was very good to have a guide with such knowledge. Also, Luis speaks English well and expressed great concern that the pace was comfortable for us,especially since there was some rain and the streets could be slippery. If you have seen the main sights and want to see another side of Lisbon, I recommend this tour.

Highly recommended! - Luis’ tour was brilliant…I learned so much that I wouldn’t have gained from walking the area on my own. He also took into account my personal interests in urban renewal and planning and tailored the info to me. He was quick to communicate in arranging to meet. Highly recommended…this is a fascinating area.

Find the World in one neighborhood of Lisbon - It was a very enriching visit with a very well prepared and knowledgeable guide. I also emphasize the ease with which he passed on his knowledge. Mouraria gained a new charm with what I learned during this visit.

Just GREAT! - Visiting Lisbon otherwise....is choosing Luis. Feeling the soul of a neighborhood, imagining the lives of its inhabitants, opening secret doors that lead to rare mosaics... is still choosing Luis. I just want to come back! THANK YOU

Just excellent - If you really want to discover Lisbon, call on Luis who is adorable, attentive... Very rewarding visit and value for money, just top, kindness more! Discovering places we would never have noticed, with stories, anecdotes... not found in paper guides. One regret: not having called on his services before! As soon as we come back, we will reserve one of the other proposals. It gives you advice for other places... really a wealth of information. I recommend with my eyes closed. Thank you Luis!
