Temple, tombs and Colossi with Ahmed
When we planned our temple tour of the Colossus of Memnon, Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut’s Temple in Luxor, we booked Ahmed from Egypt Taxi Tours. He had been an excellent driver on a previous trip so we were happy to have him especially also since his vehicle was a comfortable clean late-model SUV. He was patient and helpful, informing us about other sites along the way in excellent English. We can’t recommend Ahmed highly enough to anyone needing any tour in Luxor and beyond this city.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your half-day tour of the West Bank in Luxor. It’s great to know the experience met your expectations, and we hope to welcome you again soon.

Great ride and guide
I and my wife enjoyed pleasant ride and informative guide in Luxor West Bank and east bank. It was a great experience for us. It became impressive memory as the first visit to Egypt. We also enjoyed local Egyptian food, and it was tasty. とても良い時間をルクソールで過ごすことができました。案内してくれたローカルのエジプト料理もとても美味しいものでした。
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are so pleased to hear that you had a great experience with our service. We strive to provide the best possible service and it's wonderful to know that we have achieved this. We look forward to repeat the experience again.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Luxor West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Luxor West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $14 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 West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples?
+
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 West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Luxor West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Luxor West Bank Tour – Valley of the Kings & Temples 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.
