    Fantastic tours on East and West Banks

    We had a fantastic two days’ worth of tours with our guide Emad who was absolutely first class. We also appreciated the driving by Ammar which felt very safe after the madness (!) we had struggled to get used to in Cairo traffic. Fortunately the traffic and standard of driving in Luxor is infinitely better which was a relief. Emad was incredibly knowledgeable and was a great narrator of Egyptian history. His passion for the Pharonic period was palpable and his ability to explain what we were seeing made our experience all the more memorable. Across two days we went to Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Artisans, Hatshupet’s temple, Valley of the Queen and Medinet Habu, the funerary temple of Rameses III. I would strongly recommend these tours and if you are fortunate enough to be allocated Emad as your guide you will have a great time. He’s very entertaining on top of his undoubted knowledge and we really enjoyed the whole package.

    Response from the operator: Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review of your experience with Luxor Egypt Tours.

    Luxor with Kids

    We went with the Luxor Egypt Tour agency and, although we were unfortunate enough to get stomach problems (my 8-year-old son and my husband), Emad and Ahmed were very attentive, offering options for adapting the tour and changing the dates several times to ensure we were well. Emad also made the tour fun for the children, as after a few hours they get tired. I would highly recommend the agency and our star guide Ahmed. Thank you so much!

    Professional, Reliable and Excellent Value

    From the very first day I contacted Luxor Egypt Tours for a tailor made quote, the service was excellent. Communication was prompt and professional, and the whole booking process was smooth and reassuring. Ali, who organised our trip, was extremely responsive and helpful throughout — not only while we were finalising the itinerary but also during our time in Egypt whenever we had questions. Even when we needed to make changes to the itinerary after booking, everything was handled quickly and without any hassle. The tour guides provided were fantastic. Nobi in Luxor and Amir in Cairo were both knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience truly memorable. The transport arrangements were also excellent, and our driver Ahmed in Luxor was great. On one occasion a driver was delayed, but the issue was addressed immediately and handled very professionally. We were so impressed with the service during our time in Luxor that we even booked an additional half-day tour to the Grand Egyptian Museum through them. Overall, everything you would hope for from a tour company — reliability, professionalism, great guides and excellent customer service — Luxor Egypt Tours delivered. Their prices are also very competitive. I can be quite a difficult customer to please, but I genuinely have no complaints at all. If I could give them six stars, I would. Highly recommended!

    In Luxor it is best to have a good tour guide

    Angie was great. All arranged in advance. Pick up from hotel for two half day tours. The Valley of the Kings and Hateshput gave us a remarkable insight. The 12 year old with us was captivated by Tutenkhamun. All smooth air conditioned tranquil and continued on the second day to the temples in Karnak and Luxor. Would recommend

    2 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does 2 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank cost?

    +

    Prices start at $7 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Luxor is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank?

    +

    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 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank?

    +

    Around 9 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 Luxor 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 Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Private Tour Karnak & Luxor Temples, and Luxor West bank 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 Luxor 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 Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. 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 Luxor?

    +

    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 Luxor?

    +

    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.
