Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut Funeral Exhibition
Since I had previously informed them that I would arrive at Luxor Airport around 7 o'clock, I was met smoothly. I gave them about $15 in cash after the tour as an extra charge. Thanks to the enthusiastic commentary from the guide with 30 years of experience, we were able to enjoy the Royal Valley efficiently. After that, I visited the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the colossal statue of Menmon, and was overwhelmed by their grandeur. A disappointing point was that I paid for the guide's lunch without any notice, and the driver got angry at me because the tip was small. I was happy to treat the guide who helped me to lunch as a way to show my gratitude, but I was disappointed because they didn't even say thank you, and the tip was small. However, the tour content was good.
Response from the operator: ご意見をいただきありがとうございます。お迎えがスムーズに行われ、ガイドの説明や王家の谷、ハトシェプスト女王葬祭神殿、メムノンの巨像の見学をお楽しみいただけたことを嬉しく思います。 お迎えの手配について明確にさせてください。ご予約時の集合場所は市内のホテルでしたが、代わりにルクソール空港からのピックアップを希望され、その変更に伴う費用についてお問い合わせいただきました。現金でお支払いいただいた約15ドルは、予告なしの料金ではなく、空港ピックアップの手配に対する料金です。 ガイドの昼食はツアー代金に含まれておらず、ゲストがガイドの食事代を支払うことを期待しているわけではありません。事前にこれが明確でなかった場合は申し訳なく思うとともに、お支払いくださったことに感謝します。 チップは完全に任意であり、金額を指定するものではありません。ただし、チップについて圧力を感じたり、怒った口調で接されたりするべきではありません。そのようなやり取りがありご気分を害されたことをお詫び申し上げ、チームと共にこの件を見直します。 改めてツアー自体をお楽しみいただけたことに感謝します。ご懸念について直接お話しし、手配内容を確認する機会をいただければ幸いです。

Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How does Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple compare to similar tours in Luxor?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Luxor, with an Outty Ranking of 62. At $25 it sits above the typical similar option ($14), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 6-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $25, above the $14 typical for similar experiences in Luxor.
How much does Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple 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 Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 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 Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple?
+
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 Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple 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 Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple?
+
Around 1 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 Half-Day Private Tour: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple 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 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.
