The driver cancelled my trip the day before we were scheduled to go leaving me struggling to find another tour. He sent an email despite having my phone number. Luckily, I checked my email. Then, that afternoon, I saw he was still online taking new reservations for the day he cancelled my trip!
Luigi picked us up from the aiport & took us to Alexander’s Suites. He ended taking all 7 of us around the next day for a private island tour in his van. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and speaks great English. He was able to craft our day around our preferences- he took us to Koutsoganopoulos Wine Musuem where we got to explore the winery, learn about the grape techniques, and do a tasting with Santorini wines. We then went to the highest points on the island for 360 views, saw a monastery, the “heart of Santorini”, ate lunch at an authentic Greek taverna. He made amazing memories and a lasting impression on our family! 10/10!
Luigi was awesome. My Wife and I had a great time. Hes very knowledgeable, helpful and super friendly. Thanks Luigi!
Luigi was an excellent guide. He is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. As a local, he knows the island and everywhere to go! 10/10 recommend!
Booked a wine tour with Luigis who provided a bespoke tour of 3 wineries. He had impressive knowledge of all 3 wineries and history of the the vine yards. This was a personal tour for 4 adults visiting 3 fantastic wineries each different from the other in their own way. We have made use of the big companies in the past visiting Santorini that provide wine tours, but this by far was much better and Luigis couldn't do enough to make sure that we had an excellent experience in Santorini.
Review During our visit to Santorini, we had an exceptional experience with Luigi, who was our tour guide through Luigi-Santorinitours.com. Luigi was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Santorini with his customers. We highly recommend Luigi and rate our experience a 5-star ⭐️. It’s not just a tour; it’s a friendship that starts with a client and ends with a lasting bond. Thank you once again for making our tour so wonderful!
We saw so much and were glad to be led by a Santorini native. Orestis was so lovely and knowledgeable! Looking forward to another visit soon!!

My 3 daughters and I did a half day tour with Orestis/Luigi while in Santorini. He is local, which makes a huge difference in his passion and experience. He was so knowledgeable about the best spots, taking into consideration what he thought we would enjoy, combined with the input we gave him. He was completely flexible and tailored to our interests, making sure we saw the best of Santorini. HIGHLY recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was an absolute joy spending the day with you and your daughters. I'm so glad you felt the local touch and that the tour matched your interests — that’s exactly what I aim for with every guest. Your kind words truly mean a lot, and I’d love to welcome you all back to Santorini anytime! Orestis (Luigi)

He’s incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with amazing information and advice. The private tour was the highlight of our trip—the sites and views we saw were unforgettable. It’s something we’ll always remember.
