    If you are like me and you are searching around for the perfect tour, you've found it! It can make you nervous agreeing to get in a car with total strangers in a foreign country but we were made to feel like good friends from the first moment. Communication from both our driver Omar and our guide Syed were fantastic and we made contact well ahead of time to confirm everything. Omar was ready and waiting for us outside the hotel and we had a lovely drive with him. He is a total gentleman and always opened the doors and made sure we were stocked with water. He was even so kind to make stops for me to take photos when he saw I was interested in the desert landscapes. Syed, our guide, met us in Luxor. My husband and I loved him straight away. His knowledge is unrivalled!! He is a Luxor local and his real passion and enthusiasm for his home just really shines through. I knew little to nothing about ancient Egypt going in and I've come out really excited about what I've learned. At the same time, Syed was not at any point your stereotypical dry guide. He is humourous and the stories he told were really captivating. He was always happy to answer any of my questions. We had an amazing lunch, which was included, at a wonderful local restaurant and had delicious local food cooked in tagine. It was delicious! Syed found out what we wanted and took care of all the ordering. The restaurant staff were great! Their cooking even better! Syed made sure we had plenty of time in every location, we never felt rushed at any point. I particularly loved how he would walk us through each location and fully explain what we were seeing and the history behind it, but then he would give us time to explore on our own and take photographs. We would then meet him at a designated point and continue on. We had the best time and made some incredible memories and it's all thanks to Omar and Syed who made it all possible, we couldn't have done it without them.

    Absolutely perfect tour guide experience

    Exceptional, first-class experience with an absolutely superb tour guide (Sayed) and driver (Omar). We were looked after in an unknown country, educated to a high standard and just had a really enjoyable day exploring fantastic treasures of a beautiful civilisation. Would absolutely revisit with Sayed and Omar looking after us - thank you again for such a great day!

    Fantastic Solo Experience!

    Had an amazing experience with Luxor Egypt Tours! Mena was a spectacular guide, he was informative, funny, and friendly. The car service was exceptional and as a solo female traveler, I felt safe and taken care of the entire time. The sites are truly amazing, and Mena went out of his way to make sure the day was special and unique, including an impromptu sailboat ride on the Nile at sunset! Would definitely recommend!

    Awesome!

    The experience was great. Our driver, Ramses was well behaved and punctual. The car was really nice, comfortable and clean. He didn't force us to stop at any shop or restaurant. Whenever we were done with one stop, he promptly arrived to pick us up. Moreover, he has shared information about the sites and suggested some of the must visit tombs. Overall, it has been a great experience. Highly recommended!

    Fun trip to the West Bank with Ramses

    Ramses was probably the best guide/driver I had an Egypt. Gave great advice and was very informative. I highly recommend this tour and to request Ramses. You won’t regret it.

    Full-Day Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full-Day Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $129 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 Full-Day Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Full-Day Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 245 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 Full-Day Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch?

    +

    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 Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch?

    +

    Around 86 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada with Lunch 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 Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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.
