3 trips in 2 weeks
We did 3 trips here are separate reviews on the trips Dolphin house Great communication from Sara leading uo to the trip and was really pleased to see and meet her on the boat. The trip was well organised and friendly! There was no pressure for me to get in the sea which I was very reluctant to do but because I felt no pressure I actually did it! We saw the dolphins and although they are clearly in the wild the boats did crowd round them a bit however I did feel the guys in general were very respectful of the dolphins, I guess just everyone wants to see them. Luxor Really not to be missed but an extremely long day from hurghada (our pick up was 3:40) and very hot at valley of the kings in mid summer. Hats and water are a must! The optional Nile cruise was not really what I’d imagined but I think this was maybe more to do with my expectations, it was just a wee boat on a river for half an hour for 15euro but an experience all the same. The alabaster factory was really interesting and something different to see. We didn’t buy anything as I simply don’t like the haggling. Take plenty tip money, even inside the tombs they are asking for £. Bianca island My least favourite trip but beautiful island. Not much shade on the island itself and as I don’t snorkel it was very difficult to cool down anywhere. The facilities are clean and the food was good in terms of what I’ve seen elsewhere in Egypt. Overall Sara was just brilliant from when I started messaging about trip choices, recommendations and then tips of where to buy things locally. Couldn’t ask for a more helpful person! Thank you

Transfer nightmare
THIS REVIEW IS BASED ONLY ON THE TRANSFER /pickup from hotel as we did not end up completing the day trip We were told that pickup would be from reception at 0340. At 0230 the hotel room phone rings awaking us to be told that the driver is waiting for us outside the hotel- immediately the day started with running around the hotel room getting ready as quick as possible, rushing and panicking that we would be left behind due to not being ready on time even though the driver turned up over an hour early Unfortunately my partner had become ill that morning however we thought we’d still give the trip a go as it might be okay once we arrived. We were the first to be picked up for the trip and once we arrived at the next hotel 25 minutes away my partner had to rush to the bathroom. It was at this point we decided not to go ahead with the trip and due to only being 25 minutes away from our hotel and also collected one hour early, we asked the driver to return us to the hotel as we are too unwell to travel and didn’t want to ruin the trip for others. We also pleaded with the driver numerous times to book us a taxi if he couldn’t drop us back as we understood other guests needed to travel to Luxor. The driver and his assistant spoke zero English at all which made it difficult to communicate our situation, after using Google translate for a good 30 minutes and the assistance of the hotels security staff to translate, they confirmed numerous times that the driver said he would return us straight back to our hotel, no problem. The journey continued for another 30+ minutes and when we questioned the driver and his assistant about this they then translated via Google that drop off back to the hotel is impossible and we have to continue with the trip. We asked numerous times to be let off of the bus however they kept insisting we stay on the bus. Once at the next hotel my partner and I eventually had to just get off the bus and leave and make our own way back as the driver was refusing to help at all and was beginning to get angry with us, claiming I said I wanted to continue the journey to Luxor. Thankfully security at this hotel found us and arranged for a taxi which eventually turned out to be 1.5 hrs journey back from where we started. Due to the early hours of the morning we were unable to contact anyone from the day trip company to seek assistance (Cannot comment on the rest of the trip this was just the transfer at the start)

Fabulous company - amazing trips
I can thoroughly recommend this company. Having read great things in the 'Hurghada Tips' FB group, we pre-booked the Luxor trip about a month in advance with the fab Sara Mohamed. It was fantastic - yes it was a long (approx 4 hours) journey and a hot day but honestly it was 100% worth it and really the journey didn't feel that long as we were able to doze off and on the way back were very tired. The structure of the day was so well-organised and our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. The sites are absolutely mind-blowing and mesmerising. We have been home for a week now and can't stop talking about how amazing that day was. It is also great value as it felt like a very personalised experience. We also booked the Dolphin House tour (again with Sara while we were there) and again this was another brilliantly organised trip where we felt very well looked-after and that we were in the hands of a very experienced crew (White Star 1). Unlike some other boats that we saw getting people out to snorkel in areas where the current looked too strong, both our snorkelling stops felt v calm and well-planned. The snorkelling guides come into the water too and I cannot express enough what a skilled job they did keeping an eye on everyone and making sure it was fun for all. One of the crew took out a lifebuoy ring so that anyone that didn't feel confident in the water could stay with him with a hand on the ring for reassurance. He was fantastic at supporting everyone to experience the beautiful coral and marine life and was amazing at reasssuring one of the group who was a bit panicky using the snorkel. I am sure that some of that group just would not have been able to participate at all had it not been for this supportive approach. The snorkelling kit was all available on the boat and lifejackets were available to anyone that wanted one. To see dolphin swimming alongside our boat was stunning and another fab memory to bring away from magical Egypt. Don't hesitate to book these trips with Sara - they will honestly make your holiday

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus cost?
+
Prices start at £30 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 Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus take?
+
Plan for about 15 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 Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 22 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 Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus?
+
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 Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus?
+
Around 8 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 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Luxor Tour from Hurghada by Minibus 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.
