The best tour guide we could have asked for
We had an amazing time exploring Luxor with Ra. He knows the history inside and out, but what we appreciated most was how easy he made everything feel. He answered all our questions, shared interesting stories, and kept the days fun from start to finish. The part we’ll remember most is how kind he was to our 2-year-old son, Khefren. Luxor in the summer is no joke. The days are long and very hot, but Ra kept Khefren smiling the whole time. He played with him, joked around with him, and made him feel included everywhere we went. It made such a difference for us as parents and turned what could have been a tiring trip into a wonderful family experience. Thank you, Ra, for making our time in Luxor so special. We would recommend you to anyone visiting Egypt without hesitation.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and please accept my sincere apologies for my late reply. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and spending time with your beautiful family. Khefren was an absolute joy! Seeing his smile and curiosity throughout the tour made the experience even more special for me. I'm so happy I could help make your visit comfortable and enjoyable despite the summer heat. Your kind words mean so much to me, and I'm grateful you trusted me to show you the history and beauty of Luxor. I hope the memories you made here will stay with you for many years. Thank you again for your recommendation. I wish you and your family all the very best, and I hope to welcome you back to Egypt one day for another unforgettable adventure. Warm regards, Ra

Highly recommend Ra for a personalised tour experience
We have just returned from a week a TUI cruise and wanted to see the sights but at our own pace. Before we travelled, I contacted a few local guides and Ra stood out straight away as being very helpful and responsive. Ra guided us in Luxor and we had a great experience from start to finish. On our first full day, we visited the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Medinet Habu and Karnak Temple. Ra was knowledgeable, easy to spend time with and struck a really good balance between explaining the history and giving us space to explore on our own. Ra also organised everything for us in Aswan, including a driver and a boat. In the morning we visited the Unfinished Obelisk, Philae Temple and the Old Cataract Hotel. In the afternoon, we went by boat to Kitchener’s Island and a Nubian village, which was a really memorable part of the trip. When we returned to Luxor, we also visited Dendera Temple, which was another highlight. We always prefer to travel at our own pace rather than in a group, and this worked perfectly for us. Everything was well organised but still felt relaxed and flexible, which made a big difference to our overall experience. If you are looking for a private guide and want to avoid large group tours, I would highly recommend Ra.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review—it truly means a lot to me. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed exploring Luxor and Aswan at your own pace. That’s always my goal: to create a flexible and relaxed experience while still making sure you get the most out of every site. It was a pleasure spending time with you and sharing the history of places like the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak, and Dendera. Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting me to organize your journey. I truly appreciate your recommendation. You are always very welcome back anytime—Egypt still has many more beautiful places waiting for you. Wishing you all the best and hoping to see you again in the future. Warm regards, Ra

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour to the West Bank & East Bank: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full Day Tour to the West Bank & East Bank cost?
+
Prices start at €20 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 the West Bank & East Bank take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 the West Bank & East Bank worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 the West Bank & East 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 the West Bank & East Bank suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to the West Bank & East Bank?
+
Around 7 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour to the West Bank & East 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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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 to the West Bank & East Bank?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 59 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Full Day Tour to the West Bank & East Bank offered in?
+
It is offered in German and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
