Please take care of your tour company
The guides were very friendly and nice, but even though they paid for the entrance, they made me pay again. He hasn't heard anything about it? It seemed. We will ask you to return your expenses. I would like to see proper management of this area.

A fantastic journey through Egypt's ancient history
This trip to Cairo and Giza was a memorable adventure, with our guide, Hany, providing insightful and detailed information about the ancient Egyptian monuments. The transport was top-notch, with a clean and modern car ensuring we traveled in comfort. We visited the Egyptian Museum, where we saw remarkable artifacts, and wandered through the lively Khan el-Khalili bazaar, which was a feast for the senses. Lunch was delicious, offering a taste of traditional Egyptian cuisine. This tour is perfect for history enthusiasts and anyone looking to explore Egypt's rich culture!
Response from the operator: Happy new year. Wish you all the best for ever and wish you all the good luck and happy life. Thank you for your nice words and wish to see you soon in Egypt. Have a great life.

Fantastic sightseeing in Egypt
Can't thank Karim enough for the great bespoke sightseeing. Although we had been to Luxor previously he showed us the new finds and the sites we had not seen before. Tariq was an excellent guide and the drivers were punctual and polite. If you are travelling to Egypt Karim can organise whatever you need at a sensible price.Thank you for a great time
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your nice words and wish you all the best for ever and all the good luck. Thank you 😊 and wish to see you again in luxor. Have a great life.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
"Luxor's East Bank: A Journey Through History: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does "Luxor's East Bank: A Journey Through History cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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's East Bank: A Journey Through History take?
+
Plan for about 3 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's East Bank: A Journey Through History worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 11 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's East Bank: A Journey Through History?
+
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's East Bank: A Journey Through History suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book "Luxor's East Bank: A Journey Through History?
+
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 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does "Luxor's East Bank: A Journey Through History 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.
