    Taxi and mini-bus in Luxor, English available

    ルクソールで、人柄の素晴らしいタクシードライバーに出会いました。アラー君という青年です。 所有車両はすべてエアコン完備です。タクシー車両は4名まで乗車可能で三菱Lancer Sharkとトヨタカローラ リムジン。ミニバスは11名まで乗車可能でトヨタハイエースです。 WhatsAppで英語でのメッセージが出来ることがとても良かったです。 私たちはルクソール西岸の各所をアラー君の手配でまわりましたが、例えば、じっくりと貴族の谷を観光したり、メディネトハブでは駐車が難しい人気観光地なので出口に向かう頃にメッセージして迎えに来てもらったりしました。 英語でコミュニケーションが取れるので、ストレスなしに思い通りの観光をすることができました。 アラー君は英国在住経験があるので英語が堪能です。また、日本企業と働いた経験もあるので、日本人の気質も良く理解してくれています。親日家です。 さらに古代エジプト文明にも理解が深く、観光地の情報もしっかりしていて、イシス女神を愛し、とても穏やかな性格です。 今回は日帰りでの観光でのタクシー利用でしたが、アラー君は日帰りや宿泊セットでハルガダやアビドスなども帯同してくれるそうです。 次回のエジプト旅行では、アラー君とアビドス、デンデラへ2泊旅行を計画しています。 誠実な人柄、運転技術は最高、快適な車両、流暢な英語、それでいて金額はリーズナブルです。 アラー君のおかげでルクソール観光が快適でした。強くお勧めします。 In Luxor, we met a cab driver with a great personality. He is a young man named Alaa. All of his vehicles are air-conditioned. The cab vehicles are a Mitsubishi Lancer Shark and a Toyota Corolla Limousine that can accommodate up to 4 passengers. His minibus can accommodate up to 11 passengers and is a Toyota Hi-ace. The convenience of being able to message in English via WhatsApp was very nice. We went around various places in the west bank of Luxor by Alaa's arrangement, for example, we took our time to visit the tombs of the nobles. Medinet Habu is a popular tourist destination where it is difficult to park, so I messaged him to pick us up when we were heading for the exit. Since we could communicate in English with him, we were able to sightsee as we wanted without stress. Mr. Alaa is fluent in English because he has lived in the UK for a short period. He also has experience working with Japanese companies, so he understands the Japanese nature very well. He is a friendly person to Japan. He also has a deep understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization, is well informed about tourist destinations, loves the goddess Isis, and has a very calm personality. This time we used the cab for a day trip for sightseeing, but Alaa will also accompany us to Hurghada or Abydos for a day trip or overnight set trip. On our next trip to Egypt, we are planning a 2-night trip to Abydos and Dendera with Mr. Alaa. He has a sincere personality, excellent driving skills, a comfortable vehicle, fluent English, and a reasonable price. Thanks to Mr. Alaa, we had a pleasant tour of Luxor. Highly recommended.

    Thanks Peter!

    I had a great experience exploring Luxor with our guide, Peter. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, especially when discussing sites like the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. His insights added depth to our understanding of the ancient culture and landmarks. Peter was approachable and ready to answer any questions we had. I appreciated that he took the time to listen to our interests and adjusted the tour to fit our preferences. He also provided helpful tips for navigating the area and recommended some nice places for meals. Overall, Peter made our visit to Luxor enjoyable and informative. If you're looking for a guide in Luxor, I would recommend reaching out to him.

    Response from the operator: Thank very much it was very nice to meet you

    Good value for the price

    Pros:  Peter is a good guide. Good value for the price. Overall, Peter is knowledgeable about the region, happy to answer questions, and friendly. It was nice to have a guide to show you where things are and what to look for. Con: Unexpectedly, we stopped at a store where if you don't buy anything, the store employees try to give you a small rock and ask for tips. Tell him no markets if you don't want to spend time shopping.  If you book, make sure you buy the extra ticket in the Valley of the Kings for Seti 1's tomb. I promise you won't regret it. If you run low on time because you could spend all day there, stay and skip the Memnon statues.

    Good private guide with safe drivers

    Reliable and punctual, not without a sense of humour, Peter gives good recommendations on the most important tombs to see at Valley of the Kings. He also gives you sufficient time on your own at your own pace to wander around and take in the sights.

    Highly recommend the service

    I visited Luxor with a group of my friend a few days ago. Through the hotel, we got the recommendation of Peter Foukeh's trip plan around Luxor. It was a fantastic experience, starting the car was very clean, air conditioning, and was very comfortable. We visit Luxor all around. Peter our tour guide has a massive knowledge and the way he presented all the details made me remember so many things around Luxor and even make me more curious. The trips is plan very well you have enough time to go around and see the place. I highly recommend the service you get value for the money.

    luxor in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does luxor in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car 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 19 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 in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car?

    +

    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 in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book luxor in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car?

    +

    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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does luxor in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car 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 luxor in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car?

    +

    Included: a private limousine; and English tour guide and car. Not included: Entrance tickets to valley of the kinges; Entrance tickets to temple of queen hatchpsout; Entrance tickets to karnak temple; and Entrance tickets to luxor temple. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Is luxor in 2 half days English Tour Guide and air-con car wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
