    A spiritual experience

    My wife and I booked this trip after arriving in Makadi Bay, I was prepared to pay more than three times as much to book the TUI excursion, I thought it would be a safer bet. I'm so glad I trusted my wife's instincts and booked this day trip instead. We were collected from our hotel at 0430am by a pleasant and polite young man in a new and comfortable car, it's a long drive but it was made really pleasant so thank you Karim, you restored our faith in Egyptian driving! On arrival to Luxor we picked up our guide Abdul. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Abdul was the highlight of our holiday. I have never before had the privilege of meeting someone with such in-depth knowledge, genuine passion and enthusiasm for Egyptian history or any other subject for that matter! Abdul had the ability to bring each of the locations to life, the locations themselves are incredible but when listening to Abdul describe the tiny details and the stories of the people involved, from builders to kings and queens, added a completely new dimension to my understanding Egypt. My wife was even allowed to drive a boat (which we had to ourselves) on the Nile, unbelievable! Ironically we sailed past the TUI day-trip boat which resembled a floating prison. It's no exaggeration to say that both Karim and Abdul made this a perfect day for us, We were treated friends and we will never forget the brilliant experience, thank you! I recommend this day trip to anyone, if your lucky enough to spend the day with Abdul, make the most of it! *please bear in mind that the temperatures at the can be brutal!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your gracious feedback. It was truly an honor to have the opportunity to support you on your journey. Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and we are always here to help in any way we can. We will be delighted to welcome you back again soon

    Very disappointing

    My wife and I were extremely disappointed with our trip to Luxor. The entire experience was very poor and far below our expectations. The vehicle was in terrible condition, and we had to wait at the temple just to get our entrance tickets because the company had not paid the required fees in advance. This caused unnecessary waiting, frustration, and wasted our valuable time. We expected a well-organized trip with reliable transportation and all arrangements properly taken care of. Unfortunately, this was not the case. My wife and I finished the trip feeling extremely disappointed. I would not recommend this experience to anyone. The service was unacceptable, and the company needs to improve its organization, transportation, and handling of entrance tickets.

    Response from the operator: We are extremely disappointed by your review, which portrays absolutely every aspect of our services as negative. Your statements give the impression that your intention is to damage our company's reputation rather than provide genuine and constructive feedback. Legacy Tour operates hundreds of tours and welcomes travelers from around the world. Our professionalism, experience, and the satisfaction of our many customers speak for themselves. Furthermore, we noticed that your review was submitted under the name Ahmed. However, we have no record of providing any tour or accommodation to a guest under this name, which raises serious concerns about the authenticity and accuracy of your statements. We respect honest feedback, but we strongly reject misleading accusations and unfair attempts to damage the reputation we have worked hard to build.

    Luxor guided tour

    Amazing trip! Our guide Osama Mohamed, our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We saw so many different places and had a lovely air conditioned vehicle for every destination. Our driver Mohammed was very punctual and drove very safely. We also stopped off at a fabric stone making shop and picked up a good gift. I would definitely book again!

    Fantastic, Well-organised Trip!

    We had a great time on our day trip from Hurghada to Luxor. Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and a good local lunch, all in private air conditioned transport with hotel pickup and a fabulous Egyptologist. Osama Mohawes was outstanding, a genuine Egyptologist who brought the tombs to life, answered every question, and sorted tickets so we walked straight in past the crowds and vendors. We would definitely recommend this trip!

    Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $152 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 Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 254 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 Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings?

    +

    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 Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings?

    +

    Around 89 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Day Trip to Luxor from Hurghada and Valley of the Kings 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.
