    Highly Recommended

    It was a very nice trip to Luxor. We had a driver and a guide just for ourselves. So we didn't have to queue anywhere or wait for anyone. Our guide spoke very good German, explained everything to us very well and of course showed us around. It was a very nice experience that we would be happy to recommend.

    Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung und Ihr Feedback nach Ihrer fantastischen privaten Luxor-Tagestour ab Soma Bay mit privatem Reiseleiter. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie eine tolle Erfahrung mit uns gemacht haben.❤️ Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie im nächsten Jahr wieder bei uns zu sehen und weitere tolle Erlebnisse zu erleben Beste grüße, Rana

    The heat took away some of the fun

    The ride was an experience in itself, the road in the desert is beautiful, but as soon as we arrive in the villages it is very dangerous but we arrived in one room .The awaited us Odia our guide who explained to us in broad outline the Valley of the Magnificent Kings to see absolutely ,then the temple of Apchetsout where we did not have the heart of ascent seen the more than 50 degrees. Finally the day was very informative, too bad that the guide was constantly on the phone .We would have had many more questions to ask ,but it is rare that we are answered frankly .We think that is the watchword with this training.

    Response from the operator: Cher Elisabeth F, Merci beaucoup pour votre réservation avec Excursiesegypte.nl. Nous sommes très heureux de lire votre avis DearElisabeth F, Thank you very much for your booking with Excursiesegypte.nl .we are very happy to read your Review

    A warm, but interesting day!

    At 5 am we were picked up in our hotel by 2 friendly drivers. Along the way 1 stopover made in a quiet track café. Arriving in Luxor, our guide Mohammed was already waiting for us. Speaks very good Dutch! Muhammad has a lot of knowledge of the history of Egypt, and also conveys this very well. Lots of interesting sights seen, definitely worth it if you are interested in Egyptian history! Mohammed, thank you for the nice day! Despite the warmth, we enjoyed it and learned a lot.

    Response from the operator: Beste Lisa, Bedankt voor uw review en uw boeking met ons bedrijf Excursies Egypte. Een privé dag excursie naar Luxor vanuit Hurghada met privé Nederlandstalig gids Jullie hadden inderdaad een top gids Met vriendelijke groeten Ahmed Khalil Dear Lisa, Thanks for your booking with Excursies Egypte Day Tours You had an Excellent private tour guide no We are very proud of your review Best Regards Ahmed Khalil

    interesting Luxor day with guide Mohamed

    We had booked our Egypt trip with Tui, but fortunately we had arranged two excursions in advance through tripadvisor (excursion segypte). That turned out to be much cheaper and smoother than the excursions we could book in our remote hotel! There was a small misunderstanding when picking up at our hotel, but after a phone call that quickly came up to scratch. We were pampered with our family (two adults and three children between 12 and 17) all day by our guide Mohamed and the two drivers. The car with excellent air conditioning was not a luxury (over 40° in July) during the four-hour drive to Luxor, and the smaller distances between the temples. Mohamed arranged everything for us (entrance fees and so on) and gave interesting explanations in good Dutch. He also smoothly changed the schedule according to our preferences or the heat and so on. There were two visits to shops (papyrus and pots), but we got interesting info there and we were certainly not obliged to buy anything (you do, of course;)). For a carriage ride in Luxor and the crossing on the Nile we had to pay something extra, but that was certainly not an exaggeration. This trip is definitely recommended with excursion segypte

    Fantastic varied trip to Luxor

    We had a fantastic day. Very varied and educational under the guidance of our sympathetic private guide and driver. The day started at 5.30am and after a short stop (including photo with Bedouin children) we drove along a route along the Nile where you get a good picture of Egypt as it really is to Luxor. The program there was both varied and instructive thanks to the extensive explanation of our guide. Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Colossi of Memnon, carriage tour of Luxor with view of the temple of Luxor, boat trip on the Nile and visit to banana plantation, lunch, Temple of Hatshepsut, everything was perfectly arranged. The program also included a brief explanation of how to make papyrus and alabaster objects. Nothing could do. The guide is super and every question was answered efficiently. Even the do's and don'ts regarding purchases of souvenirs is explained. We strongly recommend this trip to everyone and when we are back in Egypt we certainly call on the 2 sympathetic brothers who run this excursion company together. Don't hesitate, just book!!!

    Response from the operator: Beste Demaninge, Bedankt voor uw mailtje ,Het was erg leuk om kennis te maken Wij hopen weer in Egypte te kunnen weer ontmoeten Hartelijke groeten Ahmed khalil

    Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $206 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 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 Safaga is not rushed.

    Is Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide?

    +

    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 Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide?

    +

    Around 4 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 Safaga 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 Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide 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 Safaga 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 Safaga?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Full day trip to Luxor with littel Group & Tutankhamun Tomb, Authentic Hurghada Experience with Private Guide & Local Transfer. 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 Safaga?

    +

    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 Safaga?

    +

    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 Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide?

    +

    Included: Round-trip private transfer; Lunch in Luxor; Qualified Egyptologist guide; and Bottle of water. Not included: Gratuities; and Drinks in the restaurant. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Luxor Private day tour from Soma Bay with Private Tour guide wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
