    Private driver

    I had a great driver named Nash. I only wanted to be taken to the Hatshepsut Temple at a later time than what was offered, the tour operator was very helpful with my requests.

    West Bank magic

    This trip didn’t disappoint. Decided to book Valley of the kings and Hapshetsut temple last minute so went through this company as used before in Morocco. This again proved to be a good choice. A very affordable and personal way to visit any place of interest. Our guide and driver turned up promptly and we were greeted by our guide Dina Danial who immediately made us feel relaxed and in safe hands. She took the whole tour at our pace , pointing out facts of interest from local knowledge to her exceptional knowledge on ancient Egypt. We were not rushed during the tour and plenty of time was given for photo opportunities. On a number of occasions Dina offered us the opportunity to purchase extra tickets for areas not covered by entry but never a hard sell. As with most tours like this, there is a stop at a local “factory” and again no exception here. Stopped at an alabaster factory but although you are not hard pressured into buying, with any background story, you do feel compelled to purchase. I did at an obvious over inflated cost but the items were at least hand carved. Have to mention our driver too, who made us feel safe with his management of driving through crazy Luxor traffic. Returning in November and intend to use again and will be requesting Dina. For any of your tour needs I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company and will use again with confidence. A fabulous experience.

    Well worth a visit!

    Amazing tour of the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossus of Memni. Going into the tombs were just overwhelming and the detail in them was fascinating. Can’t imagine how this was built about 4000 years ago!

    private tour Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does private tour Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 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 Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels 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 Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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 Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels?

    +

    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 Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels 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 Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels?

    +

    Around 5 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 Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut temple day tour from Luxor hotels 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.
