Great tour of a beautiful city
We visited Luxor in December 2019. We had finished a Nile River Cruise and had an extra day to spend in Luxor. We were taken on a tour of the West Bank first, to see the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the temple for Hatshepsut. We saw some active archeological dig sites as well. This side of Luxor was more farming land and desert - super gorgeous!! We visited an alabaster shop and toured the tombs. Don’t skip the tombs!!!! The colors have remained on the walls and ceilings for centuries since they haven’t been exposed to the elements. It is stunning! We then moved on to the East Bank where we had a nice lunch overlooking the central town square. We went to visit the temples there after lunch. We saw Luxor temple and Karnak temple. By the end of the tour, the sun had set and the temple was lit up which made it even nicer! We then ate dinner and then we were taken to our sleeper train to return to Cairo. Luxor was a beautiful city! We really liked our driver for the day, Eslam. He was very nice and his English was great! We had no troubles understanding what he was telling us, which really helped the experience to be a great one. We would recommend this tour- and ask for Eslam if he’s available!

Impressive Luxor
We had scheduled an early departure for this tour. At 7am we were greeted at the hotel lobby by Mr. Mido, our driver, and our tour guide, the Egyptologist Ms. Mona. We were taken to a very clean, comfortable, AC car that they provided for the entire day. Mr. Mido drove us safely to the Valley of the Kings where our tour began. Ms. Mona is very passionate about the Egyptian Civilization and enlightened us thru the day while visiting all the landmarks. Time was given to enjoy at our leisure the sights without feeling rushed. At noon time Mr. Mido drove us to a restaurant located on the banks of the Nile river where we enjoyed a delicious lunch served on the rooftop area. Food and service were fantastic. Later on we proceeded to the Left bank to visit the temples of Karnak and Luxor. We were mesmerized by the beauty and cultural richness of every landmark visited. This is a very comprehensive tour worth doing with the expertise and professionalism of Pharaoh Egypt Tours. We were extremely satisfied with their services and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, seamless company in Luxor.

overall great experience
I'm really satisfied with the tour it was after all my favorite day to spend in Luxor. We got picked up at the hotel, the ride was air conditioned and the driver mido was very kind to talk to. We went to the valley of the kings which i highly recommend to visit if you ever come to Egypt. We also went to some temple to me it was great to learn about the history and check these ancient statues and buildings. I can recommend everyone to go there and make the experience the tour was well organized and I will definitely book again the next time.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full Day Tour to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group 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 Luxor is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group?
+
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 to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group 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 Full Day Tour to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour to East and West Banks in Luxor-Sharing a small group 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.
