We had a fantastic experience to Luxor with Professor Ahmed Elsisi as our guide.His knowledge of Ancient Egypt was second to none.We would recommend using him as a guide in the future.The company Legacy tour was also excellent with everything going smoothly,I am so glad we booked a private tour it meant we could do everything at our own pace.We loved the Valley of the Kings and the trip down the nile

Amazing experience
Definitely worth the price we paid. Our guide was professor Ahmed Elsisi. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience amazing. We learnt lots about ancient Egypt, and got some brilliant photos. Would highly recommend.

Luxor full day tour awesome
Our guide was professor ahmed elsisi. This was definitely worth the price we paid. We spent a full day in Luxor at the valley of the kings, temple of hastheput and the temple of hoba. We also had our dinner in a local Egyptian restaurant and tried the local cuisine. Our guide was very good he had bundles of information which made our trip. I would deffo recommend it’s 100% worth your time and money.

This full-day Luxor trip...
This full-day Luxor trip was all we could have wished for and more! We were picked up at our hotel at 02:00 AM by a comfortable private van with two drivers and arrived in Luxor around 09:00 AM. Once there, we met our French and English-speaking guide Ismail who accompanied us throughout the day. Ismail was both very knowledgeable and animated (making sure to address not just the adults but also our 4-year-old), teaching us about Luxor's history and answering all our questions. We spent ample time at each of the sites and had a delicious lunch at a typical, local restaurant. We drove back to our resort around 04:00 PM. The only criticism I would have is that the drivers drove a little reckless on the highway at times, which made us a little uncomfortable (with one child and a pregnant woman in the van). After asking them to drive more safely however, they paid more attention and it got better.

Incredible sites, bossy tour guide, dangerous driving
Tour with Ahmed Elsisi. Taxi driver was polite and a nice guy but drove way too fast the speed limit warning bell was ringing both ways for 4 hours and I felt in danger. Car also lacking oxygen! Air con was bad and not allowed to open a window plus smoky as hell. Guide was very knowledgeable but also very bossy, kept clicking his fingers and didn't want to give us any time to explore gift shops yet dropped us off at a super expensive alabaster factory where we felt forced to buy something by the hardest sell we've ever experienced. Sites themselves were incredible but this tour was the worst we have ever experienced.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased that you enjoyed Luxor’s remarkable historical sites and appreciated the guide’s knowledge. We’re sorry that some aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that this does not reflect the standards we normally provide. We operate hundreds of tours using clean, new vehicles, and our drivers are non-smoking. Guest safety, comfort, and satisfaction are always our top priorities. Our guide is one of our most experienced and highly regarded guides, so we were particularly surprised by some of the comments, especially considering the positive interactions and photos from the tour. We were also surprised to see that the driver received a 1,000 EGP tip at the end of the tour, as this would normally indicate that the service was appreciated. Nevertheless, we respect every guest’s right to share their experience and take all feedback seriously. We will review the details with our team and continue working to maintain the high standards our guests expect from us.

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marsa Alam.
How much does Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings take?
+
Plan for about 15 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 Marsa Alam is not rushed.
Is Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 122 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marsa Alam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-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 Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings?
+
Around 43 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam?
+
On Outty we rank every Marsa Alam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxor Day Trip from Marsa alam (Private), Over Day Tour From Marsa Alam to Luxor, Sataya Dolphin House Snorkel Trip - Marsa Alam. 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 Marsa Alam?
+
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 Marsa Alam?
+
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.
