An Amazing Day in Luxor
Eighteen years ago, I spent my very first holiday abroad in Egypt. It was love at first sight! I stayed in Hurghada and took a day trip to Cairo, and I promised myself that one day I would return and see Luxor as well. Eighteen years later, I finally did — and it was beyond my expectations! The day in Luxor was absolutely amazing. Visiting the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak Temple and the Colossi of Memnon was an unforgettable experience. Hassaan is a born tour guide who made sure we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my long-awaited return to Luxor.
Response from the operator: Dear Szilvia Thank you so much for this beautiful review and for choosing us for your long-awaited return to Luxor! It truly means the world to us to hear that after 18 years, your dream of visiting the East and West Bank came true and exceeded your expectations. Luxor has a special magic, and we are so happy we could share it with you. It was a pleasure to be your guide, Hassaan. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak, and the Colossi of Memnon with us. My goal is always to make sure every guest feels the history and stories come alive. We can't wait to welcome you back to Egypt again. Maybe next time for an amazing Felucca sunset ride in Luxor or Aswan? 😊 Warm regards, Hassaan & The ETERNAL EGYPT TOURS Team

Best Guide
Our tour of Luxor is an unforgettable memory that I will always cherish. I feel truly fortunate that Hassaan was our tour guide. With his warm and friendly personality, extensive knowledge and genuine passion for his profession, he brought the architecture and culture of ancient Egypt to life, making the entire experience even more memorable. It is truly admirable, how through archaeological excavations, hard work and perseverance, these wonders of the ancient world are being uncovered and preserved for all of us to appreciate. Seeing these magnificent temples and statues made me want to return again and again. It is astonishing to think that such gigantic structures built with incredible engineering precision, were created using the methods available at the time. Hassaan answered every one of my questions with enthusiasm and great expertise. I am already looking forward to my next trip to Egypt and to discovering even more of its hidden wonders. One thing I already know for certain: I will definitely choose Hassaan as my tour guide again.
Response from the operator: I’m speechless. Thank you so much for this incredibly beautiful review. 🥹 It was truly an honor for me, Hassaan, to be your guide in Luxor. Hearing that I could bring the architecture and culture of ancient Egypt to life for you means everything to me. This is exactly why I love my job — to share the passion, stories, and wonders of our history with guests like you. You are so right, the hard work of archaeologists and the engineering of the ancient Egyptians is just astonishing. I’m so glad I could answer your questions and spark that desire to come back again and again. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Egypt for your next adventure! And I promise I’ll be here, ready to show you even more hidden wonders together. With all my gratitude, Hassaan ETERNAL EGYPT TOURS Team

Amazing tour
I have always loved ancient Egypt so visiting these incredible places was a dream come true. Hassaan made every site special by sharing interesting stories and facts in a way that was fun and easy to follow. He made history feel alive and never boring. My favorite place was the Valley of the Kings . The wall paintings inside the tombs were amazing and I really enjoyed learning about the stories and beliefs behind them. It was incredible to see so many colorful paintings that have survived for thousands of years and to understand what they meant. Walking through the tombs and seeing all the details up close was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. I also really enjoyed visiting the Temple of Hatshepsut. I was amazed by how beautiful and impressive it is, especially with a huge cliffs behind it. Learning about Queen Hatshepsut and her story made the visit even more interesting. Hassaan was friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions. He made the whole experience, fun and memorable.
Response from the operator: Thank you Kevin! ❤️ I’m truly happy to hear you loved the tour. Making history fun and easy to understand is my goal. Hope to see you and your family in Egypt again soon! Best, Hassaan

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Luxor in One Day East and West Bank Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Tour Luxor in One Day East and West Bank Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 in One Day East and West Bank Highlights take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 in One Day East and West Bank Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 in One Day East and West Bank Highlights?
+
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 in One Day East and West Bank Highlights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Luxor in One Day East and West Bank Highlights?
+
Around 2 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Luxor in One Day East and West Bank Highlights 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.
