    Inspiring Hallyday- very good guids

    We did two daytours with our guide Maryiam to the valley of the kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple and Museum. On the road she told us many things about Egyption history and Egyption life. She was an excellent guide, very friendly and full of knowledge. She can even read the hiërogliefen. We also had a tour with Amr to the nightshow at the Temple of Karnac. Amr is a very experienced travel agent, also very friendly. I traveled with my son (21) and we were both impressed by everything we saw. We highly recomment Amr and Maryam!

    Exceptional tour with Maria

    I had the pleasure to be guided by Maria throughout the historical sites of Luxor. Not only Maria is exceptionally knowledgeable, she is also passionate about ancient Egyptian history and about being a guide. That drive made the tour a fascinating experience that I'd recommend to anyone who needs nitty picky questions answered. Thank you for your patience and thank you Mustapha for the smooth rides through town.

    Full Day Tour to Luxor (East & West Bank): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Tour to Luxor (East & West Bank) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $83 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 Luxor (East & West Bank) take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Luxor (East & West Bank) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 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 Luxor (East & West Bank)?

    +

    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 Luxor (East & West Bank) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to Luxor (East & West Bank)?

    +

    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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour to Luxor (East & West Bank) 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.
