Most definitely recommend!
Dina was the most amazing tour guide ever! This tour included all the sites I wanted to see. All the entrance tickets were arranged in advance so no hassle of waiting in lines. Dina shared so much knowledge about the history of all the sites and really made the tour come to life through her passion for Egyptian history. She was very patient in answering all my questions, taking pictures, and giving plenty of time to explore the sites. The local falafel lunch was delicious. Our driver for the day was very professional and very nice. Most definitely recommend!

Even with small kids
Mohsen was a fabulous guide. We had two very small kids with us and he was very accommodating, even stayed with the toddler while climbed down into a tomb that we didn't want to take her into. Communication was great and we'd certainly do it again.

Remon was awesome and accommodating!
Remon was very accommodating and honest with us about a lot of things. He went out of his way to help us get a SIM card and a bunch of water while we're at the cruise (it was a lot cheaper that way because the cruise wifi was $10 a day and we wouldn't have service outside of the ship). It was nice having him let us know when to tip and how much for different things. He was able to help us answer any questions we had and I appreciate being able to see less touristy things with him as well! It was nice when there were times he would open up about his life and family a bit but we do wish he would share more! Remon did a good job of helping us manage the persistent street salespeople which made our trip more enjoyable. We could communicate to him what we liked and he would tell us what a reasonable price would be. We greatly appreciated that!

Great tour to see main highlights of Luxor in short amount of time
Awesome tour to see the main highlights of Luxor in a short period of time. Remon our guide had really good English and was full of little stories which make the experience really fun and unforgettable. Transportation in private van with AC was great, they take care of buying the entrance tickets for us which was also super convenient. We highly recommend.

luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $32 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 luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch?
+
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 luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does luxury Private 8-Hours Full Day East & West Banks Luxor & Lunch 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.
