Amazing experience!
We wanted to book the 2-day excursion from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor, but unfortunately the flight from Cairo to Luxor was fully booked on the date we wanted. Tasneem (from the tour company) then suggested doing the excursion the other way around: first to Luxor, flying to Cairo in the evening to sleep there and exploring Cairo the next day. No sooner said than done. Flight times from Luxor to Cairo and from Cairo to Hurghada have been coordinated with us via WhatsApp, and the hotel in Cairo has also been coordinated with us. Contact with Tasneem before and during the excursion also went well. There was not always an immediate response, but there was a response and everything was well arranged. On the day of departure, the drivers (including Abdullah) were already waiting for us at the reception, right on time. Then the journey to Luxor began, a long journey but it went well and was doable. In Luxor, Khalil, our Dutch-speaking guide, accompanied us and guided us all day, keeping us well informed and also taking good care of us (bottles of water, cans of cola). the heat in Luxor. We visited the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut and Temple of Karnak, but also visited a stoneworker and a papyrus museum. Very fun and interesting. In the afternoon there was still some time left and we went sailing on the Nile in a felucca, highly recommended: with Egyptian tea and music. After this we had a drink together at a local café and were then dropped off at Luxor airport by the driver. When we arrived in Cairo, we were met by our driver Mohamed who took us to our hotel. When we arrived at the hotel room, we were surprised because we had a suite on the 5th floor. When we opened the balcony door, we had a beautiful view of the illuminated pyramids of Giza. The next morning the view was even better and we also saw the Sphinx. We ate on the roof terrace overlooking the pyramids. Very special! We were picked up again in the morning by Mohamed and we had a Dutch-speaking guide Ahmed again. We did a wonderful tour of various pyramids: from "old to new" and received good explanations from Ahmed. We have the pyramid of Sakkara (step pyramid), the red pyramid, pyramids of Giza and of course the Sphinx. Before we went back to the airport, they - at our request - drove us to the McDonalds in Cairo so that we could have something to eat before the flight. :) When we arrived in Hurghada, we were met by a driver who took us to our hotel. Oh yes, lunches were included on both days and they were very good! All in all, we can only say wow, what an experience to be able to do it this way. Fortunately we still have the pictures. Excursions Egypt: thank you very much for this wonderful experience and the kindness of the people who guided us beforehand and during these two days (and who also had great fun with a 15-year-old teenager). We will definitely come back to Egypt and want to see more of your beautiful country. Cordial greetings, Job and Diana

Super experience 2-day visit to Luxor and Cairo from El Gouna by plane!
Everything has been arranged down to the last detail! Private driver Houssein did an excellent job and was always on time to pick us up. Always ready at the agreed location. Really the max! That saved a lot of time! Remained very calm while driving in the hectic city of Cairo. Despite a child beggar clinging to our van. Our Dutch-speaking guide Achmed had a fascinating story to tell and showed us around Luxor (Valley of the Kings, Tutachamon's tomb, Temple of Hatsepsut, Karnak Temple, lunch, boat trip on the Nile to banana island, check-in at hotel,...) He gave us tips and warned us us what we had to watch out for. Knows his Dutch very well! Really great! The Dutch-speaking guide Abdoe showed us around the busy city of Cairo. (Visit to the pyramids, Egyptian museum, family perfume shop, bazaar with shops, lunch, ...) He took care of us like a good family man. We felt safe with him. Because I certainly don't recommend visiting Cairo alone! And certainly don't drive around there yourself! Abdou had a very interesting story to tell, our teenage sons also hung on his every word. Knows a lot! In the Egyptian museum, Abdou knew exactly how to show us the way to the interesting sights so that we did not have to view the entire museum because you cannot see it in one day. Our guides both participated in Ramadan. Unbelievable how they treated us to soft drinks, fresh fruit,... but didn't even drink a sip of water at a temperature of 30°C. This travel formula is great! The 2 domestic flights Luxor-Cairo and Cairo-Hurghada also went as planned. Our driver was always waiting for us. We had a wonderful trip! One downside is the price! When I requested information online a few months in advance, the price online on the website was €250 per person. But suddenly the price changed to €350 and the next day to €500! While I was still waiting for their response to my email. Their explanation was that the prices of entrance to temples and airline tickets had suddenly doubled. When I checked this online, it was incorrect because the Cairo-Hurghada flight was still €30 per person! I did not have the time to book with this organization at the price of €250 because the organization itself took a long time (2 weeks) to respond to my questions. When I asked to book at the price of €250, provided that my email with questions had already been sent, that was not possible! Even with proof of print screen. Ultimately, after sending 12 emails back and forth, we agreed on €380 per person instead of €500, children aged 13 and 14 at adult rates and on the condition that we booked an additional excursion with them. In the end we booked the boat trip on the Nile for €35pp and the Tutachamon entrance for €15pp extra. Booking a Dutch guide also turned out to be an additional charge of €20 per day, which was not indicated on the website!
Response from the operator: Beste kruimelen, Heel erg bedankt voor je geweldige recensie en feedback na je geweldige 2-daagse privétour van Hurghada naar Cairo en Luxor. We zijn zo blij dat je een geweldige ervaring met ons hebt gehad. ❤️ Onze excuses voor de plotselinge prijsstijging, maar dit komt door de stijging van de dieselprijzen. We kijken ernaar uit om je volgend jaar weer bij ons te zien voor meer geweldige ervaringen Met vriendelijke groet, Rana

Cairo and Luxor from Marsa Alam
I did a tour with them from Marsa Alam including both Luxor and Cairo. The tour was excellent. They negotiated a great price, and the travel was worth every cent. In both cities I was very well attended, with guides fluent in English. All drivers and guides were exceptionally polite. The guides were very knowledgeable and motivated. The best part of the tour was the guidance of the dear Maivel. Having a woman guiding the tour was a very special experience. She is definitely the best guide I ever had.
Response from the operator: Dear Aline ALucy, Thank you so much for your great review and feedback after your amazing 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor. We are so happy that you had a great experience with us .❤️ Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your tour from Marsa Alam, including both Luxor and Cairo, exceeded your expectations. It’s fantastic to know that you were well taken care of throughout your journey, and that both the drivers and guides, especially Maivel, made your experience special. We are especially happy that you appreciated having a female guide—Maivel is truly an exceptional guide, and we’re so glad she made such a positive impact on your tour. Your kind words about her and the rest of the team are greatly appreciated. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure soon! Best regards, Rana

Great private trip to Luxor from hurghada with egyptoligst tour guide khalil
We had a great time in this trip. A must see for every one. The tombs in Valley of the kings are so impressive! So are the temples. Lunch was very tasty and the Boat trip across the Nile a welcome fresh break in a otherwise hot day. Khalil, our tour guide, was excellent in every way: helpful, very knowledgeable of egyptian history and above all cheerful! Habibi!

See everything Excursies Egypte-Day Tours runsWhy this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $279 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Private Tour from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
