It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

Of coursethere is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms. He did away with the jogged axis used since the time of Horemheb and instead built the entire tomb on a single axis. Also, for the first time, the entrance was made considerably wider than earlier tombs .

Amazing tour guide experience
This was my second time coming to Luxor and doing this tour. The first time was in January 2020 with a group of friends and Khalid was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. This second time I came back to Luxor as a surprise trip for my boyfriend. Again we had Khalid as our tour guide and I was happy we did because my boyfriend has researched Egyptian history before and we would need someone who could provide him with more. Khalid delivered! 10 minutes into the tour my boyfriend turned to me saying how much he likes Khalid and how smart he is. Both times coming to Luxor have been great thanks to Khalid!
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you so much for such a positive review! It is an absolute pleasure that you chose our tour services a second time and we're happy to hear Khalid delivered another amazing tour guide experience. Thanks again for your visit and your compliments! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Well worth it!
So much to see! With low tourism at the moment (pandemic) I was the only person on the tour. That just made it that much more special. I got so many pictures and the tour guide took many of me. Which is very difficult when traveling solo. We went to a great restaurant with very good chicken shawarma. The guide was so knowledgeable and his English was fantastic. He even helped me push off the vendors getting in and out of places. Get a full night sleep ahead of time! Lots of steps and walking. And with temperatures up to 115 F in the Summer, try to visit closer to winter. I will note that the vehicle had the best AC in all of Egypt and they gave me lots of water. Times are tough during the pandemic, so I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for your recommendation and letting us know our guide was able to give you a tour that was well worth it. We are always dedicated to serving our guests in the best possible way, hence to receive comments such as yours is very motivating. If you ever visit Luxor again, we would be very glad to be of service to you another time! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

What a day!
We had a Super day with Ahmed Aziz our guide. Ahmed was interesting, fun, passionate about Egypt’s history and very knowledgeable. The car was really comfortable and driver safe. Both were very professional and our lunch was the nicest food I have had since I arrived in Egypt a week ago. I also appreciated Ahmed’s mastery of the English language as it allowed for great conversations. We went to Clossio Memnon, Valley of the Kings and saw Ramses 111, Ramses 1X, Ramses 1V tombs. Then onto Hatshpsut Temple followed by Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. it was almost too much... fascinating, overwhelming and beautiful. Another big plus...The shopping at stalls was fun and Ahmed was so patient! I would Also advise people to come at this time of year as the weather is cool and gorgeous.
Response from the operator: Dear guests, We are truly glad to hear you had a super day with Ahmed as your guide. We feel humbled by your positive comments. Thank you for letting us be a part of your experience and for sharing your review here on TripAdvisor. Looking forward to meeting you again some day. Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Best Tour in Egypt!!!
My guide Khalid Eltayeb and my driver Hassan were the best I had in 10 days worth of tours in Egypt! Accurate historical information, friendly, on time, clean vehicle, and no extra selling. They had so much water on hand for me as well. If you go to Luxor ask for them. We covered so much stuff in one day, and I wasn’t even tired after all of it. The company was also very nice in dropping me off at the airport for my flight after the tour for a small fee. The wonderful part was the fee was less than what a taxi would cost. Luxor Travels is #1 in Egypt!!!
Response from the operator: Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for such positive comments on your recent tour with us and on your tour guide. We feel honored you consider Luxor Travels to be #1 in Egypt! We all strive daily to go above and beyond to ensure our guests' satisfaction with our tour services, and it is rewarding for us to hear we, and especially Khalid and Hassan, managed to do so. We are all hoping to welcome you once again in Luxor! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Amazing Tour!
This tour was better than expected. Khalid was amazing, super knowledgeable and very kind with us. He made sure we had enough water since it was 102 degrees. The lunch was great, very delicious. The driver would always be there waiting for us. We enjoyed this tour very much. Luxor have wonders you must see and our guide made sure we saw the best tombs and the best of the temples. If your planning to go to Cairo in Egypt you must go to Luxor.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, We are so thankful for your positive feedback on your recent tour with us. We're delighted to hear the tour exceeded your expectations despite the heat. We agree that Luxor has many must-see wonders and we invite all Egypt visitors to visit and enjoy Luxor like you were able to do recently. On behalf of all of us at Luxor Travels: thank you! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in 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 guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in 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 guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in 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 guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private guided tour King Tut tomb Historical Tour in 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 Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private), Luxury Sunrise Balloon Ride in Luxor with Hotel Pickup, Luxor Day Tour: Valley of Kings & Queens & Hatchepsut Temples. 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.
