    Terrible driver and terrible guide

    Horrible. Half an hour into the trip the car engine broke down, which caused us to be delayed another hour, the car was super small for a 6-hour trip, very uncomfortable, the driver did very strange things. Upon arriving, the guide was saying things out of context and in a very unpleasant way. I would not recommend this excursion, at least with the driver and guide we got.

    Response from the operator: Sentimos mucho saber que su experiencia no estuvo a la altura de sus expectativas y le pedimos sinceras disculpas por las molestias ocasionadas. Lamentablemente, la avería del motor ocurrió de manera inesperada y fue una situación completamente fuera de nuestro control. Entendemos perfectamente que una avería durante un viaje de seis horas, especialmente después de solo media hora de trayecto, haya sido frustrante y haya provocado un retraso considerable. También lamentamos que el vehículo no haya resultado cómodo para ustedes y, sobre todo, que la actitud del conductor y la experiencia con el guía no hayan sido las esperadas. Tomamos muy en serio este tipo de comentarios, ya que nuestro objetivo es siempre ofrecer un servicio seguro, cómodo, profesional y respetuoso. Revisaremos internamente lo ocurrido con el conductor y el guía para evitar que una situación similar vuelva a suceder. Agradecemos que se haya tomado el tiempo de compartir sus comentarios, ya que nos ayudan a identificar aspectos que debemos mejorar. Una vez más, le pedimos disculpas por las molestias y lamentamos sinceramente que esta experiencia haya afectado su percepción de nuestro servicio. 🙏

    Cute abu simbel but uncomfortable the trip.

    The first leg, the time in abu simbel and the return to time were fulfilled. Abu simbel is a destination not to get lost, however we did not have such a good time on the trip as the driver perishing did not have something in order and gave money to all police controls (about 10 controls) one of them did not accept and made it come back. To resume the route tube that diverts by not very cute places making the journey become uncomfortable and longer.

    Response from the operator: Hola, lamentamos mucho la situación, pero realmente no estaba en nuestras manos. La carretera normal hacia Abu Simbel es muy lenta y hubiera tomado aún más tiempo, por eso intentamos ir por la carretera rápida, incluso pagando más dinero a los soldados en los puntos de control. Nuestra intención fue únicamente hacer el viaje más cómodo y rápido para ustedes. Agradecemos su comprensión y esperamos poder brindarles una mejor experiencia en el futuro.

    Private Full Day Tour to Abu Simbel temples from Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full Day Tour to Abu Simbel temples from Luxor 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 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 to Abu Simbel temples from Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 to Abu Simbel temples from Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 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 Private Full Day Tour to Abu Simbel temples from Luxor?

    +

    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 Full Day Tour to Abu Simbel temples from Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour to Abu Simbel temples from Luxor?

    +

    Around 1 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full Day Tour to Abu Simbel temples from 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.
