SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
I literally just completed my day on this excursion and can truly say my experience was nothing short of breathtaking! My tour guide was Hatem (Tommy). I am not embellishing at all when I say that Hatem is the EPITOME of all tour guides! He is truly knowledgeable (over 20yrs of experience), amenable, well respected around the city and the sites, and has an overall great personality. He is excited about his job and truly brings the sites to life. Hatem is also very honest and can help you navigate the city of Luxor and its people. Hatem is also very patient, respectful, and speaks great English. This was my first time in Egypt and I also was alone. I had an overall great time while in Egypt. I felt safe at all times and my only negative comment is that Hatem could not be with me throughout the entire time. Yes, he is THAT good! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you participate in this tour. Trust me, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Aswan is not rushed.
Is Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour?
+
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 Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 0 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 Aswan 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 Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fabulous Full Day Luxor Highlights: East and West Banks Private Guided Tour 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 Aswan 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 Aswan?
+
On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. 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 Aswan?
+
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 Aswan?
+
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.
