Valley of the Kings, Luxor
I took this tour and had an amazing time. My train got in late and I was limited on time and initially I was worried I would not be able to get to the sites I wanted to see. Hany was my guide and Eslam was my driver and they were beyond amazing coordinating things and making sure I got to all the places I wanted to. Oh, and the sites were amazing. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. It was a pleasure to guide you around Luxor and we are very happy to hear you would recommend this tour with our guide. We would be glad to welcome you again another time!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More?
+
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 Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More?
+
Around 0 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Full Day West Bank: Valley of Kings & Queens - Hatshepsut Temple And More 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.
