    1. Luxor

      Our representative will pick you up from your hotel and escort you to the Nile in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for your private 2-hour felucca experience. Once on board your traditional sailing boat, settle onto the soft cushions and enjoy a refreshing drink as you begin your gentle cruise along the river. As the felucca glides through the calm waters, take in scenes that have remained unchanged for millennia. Watch children playing at the river’s edge, see farmers tending their fields in timeless ways, and spot camels, water buffalo, and a variety of birds along the banks. The peaceful, natural beauty of the Nile offers an authentic glimpse into daily life in Upper Egypt.

    Best Guide in Luxor!

    Ali was amazing. We did a half day tour covering 4 sites and he was so good at explaining the history of each of the locations and answered all of our questions. Tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to do and even managed to manoeuvre the tour around the crowds at certain points. Also offered to get tickets in advance to skip queues on the day. Highly recommend!!

    Response from the operator: Dear valued guest Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! I am truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour of Luxor and that I could contribute to making your experience memorable. It was a pleasure sharing the rich history and beauty of these ancient sites with you. I always strive to ensure my guests leave with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for Egypt’s incredible heritage, so your feedback means a lot to me. If you ever plan to visit Luxor or other parts of Egypt again, I’d be more than happy to guide you through more wonders of this beautiful country. Wishing you safe travels and wonderful adventures ahead! Warm regards, Ali

    Fantastic West Bank tour with a brilliant guide!

    We had a wonderful day exploring the West Bank tombs and templed in Luxor with our guide, Ali. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history, bringing each site to life with fascinating stories and insights. Ali was also kind, patient, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. It was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend! 🤩

    By far the best travel experience in Egypt with the best tour guide i could ask...!!

    I had an amazing experience with Mr. Ali. He was my tour guide for 4 days from Aswan to Luxor. I must say Mr. Ali is such a professional guy in regards to managing everything from tickets, co ordination with drivers, and all things are well planned before hand and communicated. He takes all efforts in explaining all the magnificent stories regarding all the sites which is the best part. I was a solo traveller but nowhere he rushed or hurried giving the same attention as he would give to a big group. He was so caring for my well being all time, so if you are traveling solo he is the guy you should consider. He was always helping in any way possible. In all it was such an amazing experience for me in these 4 days. I would like to thank Mr. Ali for all of it. Thanks a ton. I wish you very good luck and all the very best in life. Hope to meet you soon on a new exciting journey in Egypt. Thank you...!!

    Amazing tour

    Ali our guide was amazing, he had a lot of information and was very organised. The whole day was very interesting and I learnt a lot. The best location was the Valley of the Queens we were there all alone and could see the beautiful tombs in peace.

    Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $20 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 Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private)?

    +

    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 Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private)?

    +

    Around 6 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Tour Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon(Private) 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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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.
