    Beautiful experience through the Egyptian civilization

    I went to Luxor with some friends and it was one of the best experiences of my life especially thanks to the agency that has been extremely reputable, professional and helpful. All was planned carefully so that we could enjoy and appreciate all the beautiful sights. Our guide was Mary, she was very kind and we had lots of fun with her.

    Amazing tour

    We had an absolutely incredible experience with this tour company! Our day visiting the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and Medinet Habu was simply unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide was truly exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, and so passionate about Egyptian history that it made every moment even more special. We were treated with so much kindness the entire day, and they really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every second. I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. If you’re visiting Luxor, this is the tour to take!

    Perfectly organized tours in Cairo & Luxor!

    We had an incredible experience with Visit Luxor! The agency organized 4 full days of personalized tours in Cairo and Luxor, and everything was perfectly managed from start to finish. Our English and French speaking guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made every visit truly fascinating. The cars were new and comfortable, and we enjoyed delicious lunches during our breaks. The team was also very flexible and attentive, always adapting the program to our wishes. Highly recommend Visit Luxor to anyone looking for a professional and reliable tour agency in Egypt!

    Full Day Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 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 Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 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 Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor?

    +

    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 Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Around 11 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor 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.

    What is included in Full Day Tour of the West and East Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; All transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle; All taxes and service charges; Bottled water during the tour; and Professional Egyptologist guide.
