    Must book!!!

    I did the 7 day Nile Luxury tour and it was incredible! I can’t say enough great things. Samir made it so easy to book. The tour guides were so, so helpful. I was by myself and they all took such great care of me’ They helped me add extra things to my tours and made stops at all the shops I wanted. They were so supportive when helping me get my PCR and when I had an issue at the airport. The trip was amazing and I loved everything I saw. The river cruise was so luxurious and the sunsets over he Nile were some of the most beautiful. The hot air balloon ride in Luxor is a must!!! Thank you so much Samir, Milad, George and the rest of the team!! I had an amazing team and can’t wait to return. I would 100% book again!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! Samir, Milad, George, and the team are thrilled that your solo 7-day luxury Nile cruise and Luxor hot air balloon ride were so incredible and supportive from start to finish. We can't wait to welcome you back for another 100% amazing trip!

    Cairo-Luxor-Aswan points in between

    I only had 6 days to see everything on my vacation. Samir helped set up my schedule and even reworked my plans when my flight unexpectedly cancelled. My travel plans were well planned and seamless. I met a guide at each new city. Every guide was on time, knowable and very helpful with any issues I had with buying things. Included in my fee: all entrance fees to all attractions, Cairo-Luxor flight, Aswan-Cairo Flight, Nile cruise, Cairo Dinner cruise. In Cairo, I saw Coptic Cairo, Salah El Din Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque and other significant structures, Pyramids of Giza with camel ride on the famous Charlie Brown, and Egyptian Museum. I flew to Luxor and toured east and west banks. Took a Nile cruise to upper Egypt stopping at Edfu, Komodor, temple of Philae, High Dam, unfinished Obelisk and other temples. I flew from Aswan back to Cairo. It was a jammed packed super fun time. I am a traveler from Oklahoma, USA.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled that Samir and the team could quickly reorganize your plans and make your 6-day trip seamless and fun. It was an absolute pleasure showing you the best of Egypt, from riding Charlie Brown at the Pyramids to cruising down the Nile. Safe travels back to Oklahoma, and we hope to welcome you back again!

    Private Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $155 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 Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide?

    +

    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 Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide?

    +

    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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Luxor East & West Bank Tour with Expert Guide 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), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. 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.
