    Amazing experience in Luxor and Aswan through Opet Tour

    Had a very personalized experience with this tour company. It is a boutique entrepreneurial setup with Ahmed leading the pack. He was very much on the ball with everything. Anything I was unhappy about, I informed him immediately and he made sure that it was resolved (not like phoning some company's call-center who will make sure that you are left stranded!). In Luxor, remember to do the hot air ballooning at sunrise (pay that little bit extra) and Ahmed is the guy to give you the best deal! In Aswan Ahmed went beyond the call off duty, and he arranged train station pickup and airport drop off for free, something that is unheard of in the whole of Egypt. In Egypt you pay 750 EGP to visit the Abu Simbel temple and then you pay additional 10 EGP to use the toilet! (A general comment about Egypt: Remember not to buy anything from touristy places, they are usually way more expensive. The price difference between a "legitimate" looking "professional" outlet and a shop inside a market is often 5 times! They will simply charge you more, so don't feel bad to walk way and keeping walking till you hear a price that is very reasonable. It is better not to bargain because we don't know anything better. Always try to pay for the service only after delivery, otherwise you might get the raw end of the stick.)

    Response from the operator: “Dear [jeryya] Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your personalized tour and that Ahmed made your trip truly special. Our goal is always to provide a seamless and unforgettable journey, and it’s great to know that Ahmed went above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. We’re also glad you found our recommendations helpful, especially the hot air balloon experience—definitely a must-do in Luxor! Your insights and tips for fellow travelers are truly valuable, and we appreciate you highlighting the importance of making informed choices while exploring Egypt. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again for more amazing adventures. Safe travels and see you soon! Best regards, [Opet tours]

    Luxor private tour to East and West bank: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Luxor private tour to East and West bank cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 tour to East and West bank 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 tour to East and West bank worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 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 tour to East and West bank?

    +

    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 tour to East and West bank 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 tour to East and West bank?

    +

    Around 5 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 tour to East and West bank 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.
