Great Tour and A must in your Egypt Itinerary.
This was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience. I can't say enough about how professional and kind our contact and tour guy Ahmed was. I was sick when we landed with stomach bug and he made sure I was taken care of. The boat ride and stops and tours were breath taking. They picked us from airport and you go to the boat ( I missed first excursion due to not feeling well ) and he came to check on us if we needed anything. When your in a foreign country. It's nice to know someone cares. The tour was amazing, the boat ride down the Nile is serene and peaceful. I definitely recommend doing any tour with them, as they are very accommodating. And a special shout out to Sammy at our stop in Edfu. Great guide as well.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your views and experience with us. Your review is highly appreciated and is very important to us and the community. Thank you again!

Private Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples 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: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor 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 Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples 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: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples?
+
Around 0 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: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor 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.

What languages is Private Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples offered in?
+
