Friendly and very knowledgeable God
I have been to Luxor and Karnack temples on five different tours, but never have I experienced a more knowledgeable and Pleasant guide than Sherry. She was enthusiastic about the subject matter and very eager to answer the questions that came from the group. I’m certain she would be an excellent guide for any English speaking group. I recommend her highly. The driver was also extremely Pleasant and his vehicle was very clean and nice.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and for choosing us again for your visit to Luxor and Karnak! We're delighted that Sherry's knowledge and enthusiasm made such a difference, especially after five previous tours. She will be thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed her answering the group's questions. We'll also pass your kind words on to our driver, who takes great pride in keeping his vehicle clean and comfortable. We hope to welcome you back to Egypt soon!"

An absolute highlight in Luxor. Thank you, Sherry!🙏👌
We had an incredible experience on this private tour! Our guide, Sherry, was absolutely wonderful, she made the day so much fun and possessed a massive depth of knowledge about Egyptian history, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. What really blew us away was her flexibility. Even though our flight was delayed by 2 hours, she waited for us at the airport, stayed in constant communication, and was incredibly understanding. Because of the delay, we couldn't start until 9:00 AM, but Sherry didn't let that rush us at all. We started at Karnak Temple, which is a mind-bogglingly impressive site, and then moved on to Luxor Temple after a quick break. While Luxor is the smaller of the two, it is equally magnificent. Throughout the entire tour, Sherry gave us plenty of time to take photos and enthusiastically answered every single question we had. It was a perfect, stress-free experience. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure guiding you, and we're so happy you enjoyed your day in Luxor. Wishing you safe travels and many happy memories of Egypt! 😊🌟

If you book any guide any Egypt, book Sherry!
Well I do not have enough words to say how great Sherry was. I can safely say out of all the guides we had in Egypt, she was by far the best! She was incredibly knowledgeable, a professional photographer (to say she took great pictures for us - knew the best spots, best angles), and took such great care of us. We had a early morning flight to Luxor, she allowed us some extra time before visiting Karnak to get something to eat and drink so we were awake and ready for the visit! And we had free time in each location after she explained everything to walk around to admire the incredible monuments and take any other pictures we wanted. If you need a tour guide in Luxor, she is the person to book! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Your kind words truly mean a lot to me. It was a pleasure showing you the beauty and history of Luxor, and we're delighted you enjoyed the tour, the photos, and the time spent exploring the sites. Thank you for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back to Egypt again in the future! 😊🙏🌟

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Luxor : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How does Private Tour Luxor : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple compare to similar tours in Luxor?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Luxor, with an Outty Ranking of 76. At $34 it sits above the typical similar option ($10), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and couples.
Who is Private Tour Luxor : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple best for?
+
It suits families and couples best, based on its 4-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Private Tour Luxor : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $34, above the $10 typical for similar experiences in Luxor.
How much does Private Tour Luxor : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple 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 : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 50 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 : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple?
+
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 : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple 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 : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple?
+
Around 18 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 : Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple 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 of Luxor private, Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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.
