As you walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, your guide brings the ancient hieroglyphs and colossal pillars to life.

Crossing to the West Bank, your journey turns deeply personal inside the Valley of the Kings. With over 60 royal tombs carved into the cliffs, you'll visit a selection of the most beautifully decorated chambers, such as those of Ramses III or Merenptah. Their vivid wall art—still glowing after millennia—tells tales of the afterlife, guiding souls through the underworld.

Travel with Mina
I went around west of Luxor with Mina. He took me around not only the famous sightseeing places but local Egyptian restaurants and shops. He made sure I didn’t get ripped off and made reservations for the boat ride. I had a great time and it was definitely worth the money and time!

Luxor with Mina.
I had a great time with Mina!! He drove me around the west of Luxor. He took me to a delicious Egyptian restaurant when I said I was hungry. He was always in time. He made a reservation for a boat ride so wouldn’t get ripped off. He was great though out the trip! Definitely worth the money and time!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour to Luxor West and East Banks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full Day Tour to Luxor West and East Banks cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 West and East Banks take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 West and East Banks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 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 West and East Banks?
+
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 West and East Banks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to Luxor West and East Banks?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour to Luxor West and East Banks 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.

+
Included: Entry Fees (if price option selected); Hotel pickup and drop-off; All Transfers by Private A/C latest Model Vehicle; Bottle Water; and Lunch (if price option selected). Not included: Any additions not mentioned; and Tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

+
