    Amazing experience!

    We had the best time with Ahmed. He picked us up on time, explained everything to us, he has a great knowledge of history and was able to answer all our questions. He told us the story of every place we visited, with dates and details. He even helped us with taking photos and made sure we catch our bus on time after the tour. He is just too experienced and very polite. I totally recommand booking this tour, we covered everything in one full day.

    First class tour , highly recommend

    Fabulous day. Ahmed tailored the day to our exact needs. He was punctual and communication before was excellent. The tour started the moment he picked us up explaining the history of Luxor before we went up the West Bank. At valley of kings he made recommendations as to what extra tombs to visit otherwise no queuing for tickets he organised it all in advance. He is very knowledgeable and stopped for drinks and food when we need to . We are using this business again this week and hope to arrange another day before to go home.

    Response from the operator: Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review of your experience with hello Egypt We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful city of Luxor. Your kind words mean the world to us

    Private Tour foll day 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 Tour foll day to East and West Banks of Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $20 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 Tour foll day 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 Tour foll day to East and West Banks of Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 Tour foll day 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 Tour foll day 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 Tour foll day to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Around 9 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 Tour foll day 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), 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.
