Great experience in Luxor with King Ayman!
We had a beautiful experience in Luxor, learning a lot about the history and culture of Egyptian pharaohs. Ayman our guide made it a great day and experience through his wealth of knowledge and experience. I will hands down recommend Ayman to anyone who is willing to visit Luxor during their trip in Egypt. Started the day with Memnon, then headed to Hathshepsut Temple and then to Valley of Kings and ended the day with Karnak Temple. We were supposed to also visit Luxor Temple, but could not manage. The experience included a delicious arabic lunch and transportation around the various sites. Cheers to Ayman and we wish him all the very best!

good guide, good driver, wonderful experience
Ayman took us around Luxor for two days. the tour was just great, the right amount of information, interesting stories, good knowledge of details. He is also extremely friendly and whichever site we went he was greetied by guards and other guides more than any other person in the same business! We also asked for an additional excursion to Gourna for recent architectural project of the famous Hassan Fathy, not the usual touristic destinations during our trip which made it even better. The driver was also very polite and professional. thanks

Mohamed is King amongst Kings!
Given the opportunity to visit Cairo for a long weekend I opted to fly straight into Luxor overnight and onto a tour with Mohamed from Egypt Shadow. I didn't know what to expect and only knew that I wanted to see as much as possible before I headed to Cairo. Mohamed did not disappoint. What this man doesn't know about the history of ancient Egypt isn't worth knowing. He's an incredible storyteller and really bought the history to life, I'm certain the tours around us were envious. I was also incredibly well looked after considering the immense heat, and at every opportunity Mohamed checked if I need a break from the sun, water or even a treat of some fresh sugar cane juice. I achieved everything I wanted from the trip and this was only possible thanks to Mohamed and our driver. Now that I've got Mohamed on WhatsApp I'm certain when I next pan to visit he will be there first person I contact. Don't be lured in by other tours that include all the optional extras because what you gain in minimal ease of knowing everything is catered for, you lose on the quality of guide. That much was obvious when I looked at other people's tours.
Response from the operator: Greetings from Egypt Shadow Tours. On behalf of all the team we thank you so much for sharing your views and experience with us. Your review is highly appreciated and is very important to us and the community. Thank you again! Egypt Shadow Tours Team.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor Private Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor Private Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile cost?
+
Prices start at $153 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile?
+
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 Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile?
+
Around 1 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Discover the East and West Banks of the Nile 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.
