    A MUST-SEE TOUR GUIDE IN LUXOR!

    Smile is a must-see tour guide in Luxor I swear! Not only love his knowledge, I was impressed by his attitude and manner. He is so calm with fresh and chilling energy. He took care of us so well in detail. IN DETAIL I have to mention again. We gave him our special requirement that we want to meditate (short meditation) in some places and he did guide us to more-than-great place to meditate and feel energy. He is really gentle, fair, honest and open-minded. He gave us both deep knowledge presentations about history of Egypt and also gave us private time to slowly enjoy after his talking. We felt so comfortable with this point, no rushing in checking in places. He was always honest and didn’t try to find way to charge his clients more. This point I really paid attention and appreciated him. Besides amazing historical places to visit, he also brought us to some great places to buy things that we looked for such as a shop named Thutmoses Family Since 1888 where we could find stunning high-energy statues. And 1 more plus point, his car is new, clean and really comfortable to drive with. Overall, I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a meaningful trip to Egypt especially Luxor with 5 stars guiding service.

    Egypt is a dream come true! 🇪🇬

    I had an incredible experience in Egypt from start to finish. Smiley was exceptionally helpful in planning our trip—knowledgeable, kind, and patient, answering every single question we had. We spent a week traveling between Cairo and Luxor, and Smiley arranged everything seamlessly: private tours, lunches, pick-ups and drop-offs, and even an outstanding tour guide, Mai, in Cairo. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and everything went perfectly. I’ve already recommended his services to all my friends and can’t wait to return one day. Thank you, Smiley, for making our visit to your beautiful country so unforgettable!

    Response from the operator: thank you Gisela we realy do appriciate your wounderful review looking forward seeing you and your family please do not forget your recomendation .

    Epic Luxor Visit

    True to his moto, Hamdy makes sure that tourism is not just a business. Our day trip to Luxor was exceptional, thanks to Hamdy. We covered both west and east bank at leisure… He explained the history and mythology related to the sites we visited in fantastic detail, which made our experience very insightful and enjoyable. He was also very patient and took care of every detail of our needs. Highly recommend him when you are in Luxor!

    Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 East and West Banks of Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 East and West Banks of Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 East and West Banks of 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 East and West Banks of Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks 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.

    What is included in Private Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; All Transfers by Private A/C Vehicles Newest Model; Hotel/airport pickup and drop-off; Lunch; and Qualified Egyptologist guide. Not included: Entrance Fees; Personal Items; and Tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
