We had a great tour with our guide Khaled! He made sure we saw all the major sites, was very knowledgeable about the history, and took great photos. The private car was very comfortable as well. We had a very smooth trip .

Khaled led tour of Luxor
Experience Brilliant day saw everything me and my partner wanted to at a nice pace. Fees All costs were covered other than tutes tomb which was worth the additional expense to see. The lunch which is included in the price on its own could easily set you back 80 pound normally, plus all the site tickets and the personal car, overall great value for money. Length Time 0700 until 1400hrs. Really well paced plenty of time for photos and plenty of information more than I could take in. We went early and completely agree this is the way to do it as crowds are huge later on in the day as we left we saw the ques at each site perfectly timed. Atomosphere Khaled helped get us quickly through busy areas to help avoid street sellers bothering us and stopping us which kept us both safe and relaxed. The restuarant for lunch was also in a beautiful setting. Guide and driver Khaled and i am sorry but i have forgotten the drivers name, moved us from site to site without delay and with information on route the frozen water was also a lovely touch and needed. Khaled's english is the best from all the guides we have had and somehow he understood my scouse accent which is a rarity. Geniuely felt like we were being taken around by family members made us feel so welcome and relaxed, a brilliant day and will book again if i return in the future with family. Thanks to you both hopefully see you again soon

Great tour with Khaled
Fantastic tour with Khaled of the key Luxor sites! He gave a fantastic history of all historical sites; Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, etc. Well paced and very informative. Comfortable car and safe driving. Make sure you go early (7am or before); we saw the temple of Karnak before anyone else arrived and was great to see before the crowds.

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 $45 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 8 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 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 324 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
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 8-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 113 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 8-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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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.
