Great tour of the West Bank with AlaaDin as our Egyptologist guide
We had a superb day exploring all the sites on the West Bank with AlaaDin as our Egyptologist guide. AlaaDin was extremely informative , and he gave us the right amount of free time to explore the sites on our own before moving on to the next. He brought the history to life. Thank you AlaaDin

Excellent full and half day tour Luxor.
Fabulous full day tour with our guide Mohammed. He was so knowledgable and charmingly answered all our many questions. We were not hurried and able to spend as much time as we wished at the tombs and temples. We would highly recommend. We also took a half day east bank tour with the same guide. Thank you so much.

Like travelling back in time!
In this tour, you can experience real ancient Egypt. With the right guide, it feels like travelling back in time. Alaadin is the best tour guide (a real archaeologist) I have ever met. He is very attentive and answers every question or doubt you may have. There is no rush, and you have time to admire almost everything. It is very well organised, with hotel pick-up and the guide waiting for you. Something we really appreciated was the electric cars in the Valley of the Kings. They are sustainable and very comfortable for those who prefer a lift instead of walking up the valley.

Five Star Tour Experience
Forget any other tour agency this is the ONE to book through. I was professionally communicated too before I arrived in Luxor, by the owner Mohamed. Yassin who booked my tour listened properly, and very carefully to my detailed request - meeting my price points and needs. He tailored a bespoke package of travel and guidance with Doctor of Egyptology and Mythology - Mahmud. The service from Yassin is reliable, respectful and highly recommended.

Very quite place to do retreats.
It is the best location in Luxor on the west side. The house is small, familiar with excellent rooms with a fabulous view to the mountain and temples. The energy is very high and transforming. We were very well cared for by the manager and its stuff, wonderful cooking and just had an unforgettable stay there. Organization to temples on time and details were just great as well as surprises in between. Our guide, Saber shared his great knowledge of Egyptology and showed us the top energy spots in each temple, so that my retreat group could dive into and let their transformation happen. He is a great guide also on a spiritual level. We will for sure come back again. All the best to all Malkata House and team. You are the best. Denise Bitterlin

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor?
+
Around 2 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Tour on the West Bank of Luxor 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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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.
