Good trip
Tour guide Talaat was a great salesman, very friendly and is very good at what he does. He is very knowledgeable, provided good advice and was very helpful. Boat was nice, food was good and sights were great. There were lots of extra costs that we were not told about beforehand. For example, to see any of the sights, we had to pay for entry fees for all of them on the first day. We’re not told about a lot of the information about the tour until the day of the tour. Had to refer to the brochure about a lot of the information. Do not get the sleeper train if possible, was very dirty. Stains all over the bedding, ripped up carpet discoloured carpet, dirty dark brown windows, filthy toilet.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much , Entrance fees are not included as written clearly in the tour link and we contacted you via WhatsApp , We are sorry if you didn't enjoy the sleeper train specially we only have one sleeper train around Egypt , we have same day tour also with flight round trip , you're a champ , it was a pleasure showing you around :)

Our unforgettable trip to Luxor
Everything was awesome. We enjoyed all things we did in the full 2 day tours and made great memories, especially the hot air balloon ride and banana island. Not forgetting the honey tasting experience, the perfume smelling experience, the excellent kind driver Hussain Ahmed and the very learned and knowledgeable tour guide Hany Yassen who made our trip so memorable. Thanks to the driver Hussain Ahmed who treated us to fresh juice and ice cream for the whole family and Hany Yassen who taught us so much about Luxor and its sights and stories, and spoke excellent English. Also, the hot air balloon ride was amazing! We were all quite scared to go on but the pilot Ibrahim made us feel at ease immediately, he is very experienced in his job and gave us a smooth landing. Thanks to Excellent Air Balloons. I recommend them to everyone and give them 10/10 for their service. My family and children all enjoyed themselves very much, we have been to many places but this is something we will never forget. Thank you very much.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels cost?
+
Prices start at $86 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 Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels 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 Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 18 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 Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels?
+
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 Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels 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 Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels?
+
Around 6 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 Marvelous Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Lunch From Airport /Hotels 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.
