Superb private tour for family, highly recommended!
Waleed is an excellent tour guide - he was able to curate the day to fit our schedule and is extremely knowledgeable! We had a long day in Luxor starting at 7am and ending at 7pm, but he was with us the whole time and added in a boat ride in the Nile to the itinerary. It was also a very hot day on our trip but he was able to find us spots to cool down throughout all the sites. There was also no time wasted stuck at tourist sites for shopping, but at the same time if you want to see certain things (we wanted to check our Egyptian cotton) then Waleed can make it happen! Could not recommend this day enough, we are so glad we came to visit Luxor and to have Waleed guide us and share his passion for the city and its history

Amazing experience
Traveling alone I couldn’t get more lucky than having Walid as a guide. I didn’t have to worry about anything. Leaving the hotel was stepping in to safety of everything arranged for the best experience. Walid has a profound academic knowledge but also understanding on a deeper level and this made my tours to Karnak, Luxor, Dendera, Hatshepsut Temples, among other sites, simply extraordinary! A real dive into ancient Egypt’s world. This was an amazing experience for my heart, soul and mind. Thank you so much Walid !

The best experience we had in Egypt!
We booked the tour really late and Walid responded very quick and easy by Whatsapp. He picked us up in front of our hotel the same day at 2:30. We drove to Karnak temple in the back of a really nice car. When we got there we got over ruled by the beauty of the complex. Walid explained everything super easy, he is really wel bespoken in English and answered every question we had. He knew every spot in the complex, took us to the most beautifull places for photo’s (he is a superb photographer as well). Every minute the complex got even better as the sun got down. When we finished at Karnak (2 hours) we got picked up by the driver ditectly at the exit and we drove to Luxor Temple. Here again, great tour and super much information. The pictures were even better because of the sunset. All in all we loved every second of it. Walid made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything and we felt very safe and comfortable the whole trip. The driver is also a very kind man! It was a 10/10! Highly recomended!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut cost?
+
Prices start at $136 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 Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut?
+
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 Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Day Private: Karnak&Luxor Temples, Kings Valley& Hatshepsut 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.
