Thank you Ahmed!
I had an amazing experience on this private tour to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. Ahmed was a fantastic guide incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and happy to answer every question. I learned so much about ancient Egyptian history and the stories behind these incredible sites. Seeing these places with my own eyes was truly unforgettable, and having such a great guide made the experience even more special. Highly recommend!

Good
The trip was good! We were so interested in the history and culture that we asked multiple questions and the guide answered them very well. However we felt that the guide got a bit irritated whenever we asked a question so his voice got angry.
Response from the operator: I am very disappointed to hear that , first i was not angry or upset when you late 1 h , I was not angry of repeating the same information more than one time , Maybe at the end of the tour it was hot and another tour guide stand behind me and explained in loud voice so i explained in loud voice so you can hear better without interrupting from him , All the time i was smiling and happy with you , if this is the one time you can remember very well the big group stand behind me

Everything you need to know
What to know: • Good air conditioned car • Guide speaks good English and is an expert in egyptology • You can see 3 tombs, extra tombs is added cost • Make sure you negotiate prices in Alabaster shop. You can definitely get a 20-30% discount • Use sunscreen and wear a hat, the sun is harsh • Plastic water bottles get hot very fast. Bring your own The Good: • The valley itself is amazing and definitely a must see when in Luxor. • Guide spoke good English and is very knowledgeable • Very friendly guide and driver, minimal waiting • Fully included pricing (except tipping) The Bad: • This is more of an independent tour. The guide will explain a lot to you and then let you discover on your own. This is good, but you miss the experience of someone walking you through each tomb and explaining specifics live

Private tour kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private tour kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 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 kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon?
+
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 kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private tour kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour kings valley, Hatshepsut temple & colossi of Memnon 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.
