Fab day to Luxor
Very long day of history but 100% worth it. We were picked up by taxi at 4.45am and were driven to Karnak Temple where we met our guide Sala. Sala gave us amazing stories about the temple and it's history and didn't rush us. We then paid £40 for 2 tickets for the boat across the Nile which was lovely. We had food at a restaurant at the other side which wasn't too our liking but the staff were lovely. We then travelled to the colossis of memnon and then Valley of the kings which was just incredible, again Sala was amazing with all the information and history. We did pay for the extra 2 tickets about £52 which I thought cheeky considering what we had already paid but so worth it to get into the best tombs. We then headed to the alabaster factory which was optional and you didn't get pressured. We were then driven back to our hotel and arrived back about 6.45pm. We were so glad we had the private transfers as others were longer with shared transport. A big thank you to Sala our guide for making it a brilliant day out, We had an amazing time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you had such a rewarding and memorable day exploring the incredible history of Egypt with your guide, Sala. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the stories and insights he provided at Karnak Temple and the other sites. We understand that some aspects, like the restaurant food and ticket costs, can be a bit of a surprise, but we're glad you felt it was worth it to access the best tombs. We're also pleased that the private transfers worked out well for you, making your experience more comfortable. Your kind words mean a lot, and we will definitely pass on your gratitude to Sala for his exceptional service. Thank you once again for choosing Canary Tours Egypt. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable adventures in the future! Best wishes,

An Unforgettable Day in Luxor – Salah Made It Magical!
This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip, and that’s entirely thanks to our phenomenal guide, Salah. From the moment we arrived, Salah was one step ahead, navigating us through each site with such skill that we never had to queue. Just as the crowds were beginning to arrive, we were already moving on, leaving us with peaceful, uninterrupted moments to soak in the breathtaking history. The visit to Karnak and the Valley of the Kings was like stepping back in time. Salah didn’t just show us around, he told the story of ancient Egypt with such passion and depth that it felt like we were living it. His explanation of the journey from the land of the living to the land of the dead gave a profound new meaning to everything we saw. We also opted for a small upgrade, a private boat trip along the Nile and a visit to Monkey Island. It was worth every penny. Not only did we spot monkeys, but we even got to hold a baby crocodile, something we’ll never forget! If you're thinking about booking this trip, don’t hesitate. And if you're lucky enough to get Salah as your guide, you're in for a truly extraordinary experience.

Valley or kings tears at the temple
Salah our guide that we picked up after a private transfer in a comfy car was great. He skipped the queues which was big bonus. I wouldn't want to go in the busy season and would have loved a little more time in karnaks temple. This blew me away. Advice take coin dollars or Egyptians pounds only for tips ie toilets anywhere. The boat trip we did private so added more ..not worth it I felt for this bit but deffo pay the £10 for the group boat instead of back in the car. They are opening the desert road to make journey quicker from hurghada. Worth the journey though The locals he introduced us to were great as not pushy and showing us how the made their goods. Fascinating and lovely.. Salah thank you for making our trip amazing your family i am sure are very proud of you..
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience! We’re happy to hear that you had a comfortable and well-organized journey. Karnak Temple is truly awe-inspiring, and we understand how it can leave such a strong impression. We also appreciate your helpful tips for future travelers — those small details really do make a difference. We’re glad you enjoyed the cultural moments and the warm hospitality along the way. Wishing you many more memorable adventures ahead, and we hope to welcome you again in the future with Canary Tours Egypt!

Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at £20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada?
+
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 Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada?
+
Around 22 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Priavte Day Trip to Luxor & Valley of the Kings from Hurghada 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
