Had a great experience on east bank and West Bank Luxor tour with Ra
Ra is a great guide and a good person. He explained everything so well and was very patient. I’m slightly claustrophobic and he also went beyond his way to help me see a tomb from inside. We know a little bit of fun hieroglyphics thanks to his teaching. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was truly a pleasure spending these two days with you in Luxor. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the explanations and felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tours. Your words mean a lot to me, and I really appreciate your trust and recommendation. I wish you all the best in your future travels and hope to welcome you again in Egypt one day. Warm regards, Ra

The Perfect Guide for Luxor’s Temples and History
I spent two days in Luxor with Ra as my guide, and I could not have been more satisfied. He is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions — even the very detailed ones — with great clarity and depth. It is clear that he has studied this field seriously, and I learned an enormous amount from him. Beyond his expertise, Ra was a genuinely pleasant and respectful companion throughout the tours. He was reliable, professional, never pushy, and I always felt very well taken care of. Everything was transparent, fair, and exactly as one hopes when booking a guide in Egypt. I highly recommend Ra to anyone visiting Luxor. He made my experience truly exceptional.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure guiding you during your two days in Luxor. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tours and found the explanations helpful and detailed. I always do my best to make every guest feel comfortable, respected, and well taken care of, so your kind words truly mean a lot. I’m grateful for your trust and your recommendation. Wishing you many more great travels, and I hope to welcome you again in Egypt someday! 🙏😊 Ra

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half Day Tour to the West Bank: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Half Day Tour to the West 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 Half Day Tour to the West 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 Half Day Tour to the West Bank worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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 Tour to the 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 Half Day Tour to the West 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 Half Day Tour to the West Bank?
+
Around 5 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 Tour to the 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.
What is included in Half Day Tour to the West Bank?
+
Included: Egyptologist Tour Guide; Tourism Police Permission; Air Conditioned Private Vehicle (Inc Chauffeur); and Mineral Water during the tour. Not included: Accommodation; Anything not mention above; entrance fees.(tickets); and Tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Half Day Tour to the West Bank include hotel pickup?
+
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 Half Day Tour to the West 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.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Half Day Tour to the West Bank?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Half Day Tour to the West Bank wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Half Day Tour to the West Bank if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
