Our day with Luigi was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Santorini. From the moment we met him, his professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for the his homeland were evident. Luigi was not only an safe and skilled driver, but also an outstanding guide who shared fascinating insights about Santorini’s history, culture, and hidden gems. What truly set him apart was his willingness to go above and beyond. He generously extended his time with us and took us to breathtaking locations that we would have never discovered on our own. These special stops gave us a much deeper appreciation for the beauty and uniqueness of the island. Throughout the day, Luigi was friendly, engaging, and attentive to our interests, tailoring the experience to ensure we got the most out of our visit. His expertise, local knowledge, and commitment to providing an exceptional experience made our trip truly unforgettable. If you are visiting Santorini and looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and dedicated to creating a memorable experience, I cannot recommend Luigi highly enough. He exceeded every expectation and played a significant role in making our Santorini vacation so special. Thank you, Luigi, for an amazing day and memories that will last a lifetime!

We had a fabulous tour of the island for 4 hours with Luigi . The knowledge and personal touch this man has is incredible We thoroughly enjoyed it and we learnt so much about the island. He knew how to get around the busy parts of the island so we were not in endless queues . That in itself was worth every penny . Using him again next time we are here for certain

Amazing Santorini tour with Luigi!
We had an amazing Santorini island tour with Luigi! He took us to some of the most picturesque spots on the island, including hidden gems where we were able to avoid the long crowds and lines. His local knowledge made the experience feel much more personal and enjoyable. Luigi was friendly, professional, and shared great insights about the island’s history and culture throughout the tour. Thanks to him, we were able to see the beauty of Santorini without the stress of navigating on our own. Highly recommend Luigi to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic Santorini experience!

Buyer BEWARE!! He cancelled my trip the day before by email…no call.
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!

BEST DAY OF THE 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!
