    LUXOR Tour with The TRAVEL CONNECTION TOURS

    I did the Valley of the Kings Tour with The TRAVEL CONNECTION TOUR ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️, my second tour with them, and like the first excellent, punctual, a guide in Spanish with very good knowledge, I was picked up at the BEST VIEW PYRAMIDS hotel, where I stayed and everything was very coordinated, they are very clean and air-conditioned. The site is spectacular and do it with this agency more. 5-star service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💯 RECOMMENDED

    Response from the operator: Thank you for mentioning our seamless booking process! We aim to make everything easy for you.

    Knowledgeable Guide care about providing a best Egyptian experience

    Ayman is a very knowledgeable guide about ancient Egypt history and culture, and astrology. We had a very limited time to explore the valley and karnak temple after the morning balloon ride, but Ayman was able craft an itinerary to allowed us to see all the essentials. The car we ride in was the most clean and spacious Toyota touring van we've ever experienced in Egypt. To save us time from the long detour ride across the nile, he offered us with horse carriage in the later trip when we were back in the East Bank. Plus, the late lunch he offered us in the package at El Hussein was the best we have ever tasted grills in Egypt! Highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for trusting us to guide you through Egypt’s historical treasures. We’re so happy you had a great experience<3

    Solo female traveler in Egypt

    I searched for a company to take me on a private tour and chose The Travel Connection tours cause they had a lot of good reviews. I was staying at the Four Seasons hotel and when I booked The Travel Connection Tours they were very communicative and scheduled a day right away with me. They were prompt and timely. I was traveling solo and the tour guide made me feel extremely safe and well taken care of. I also booked the Nile Cruise with the company and the tour guide was great. All meals were included and were very tasty. I never had anything to want. He was very knowledgeable and also very nice. I felt like I could have stayed to live on the ship, I was so comfortable. I am very happy that I found them cause I was able to book all different types of tours with them at a very good price and I was always pleased. I recommend The Travel Connection Tours for all people from the USA.

    Response from the operator: you are welcome dear .

    Highly recommended! No tour company compares to the travel connection tours. Best safest tour company.

    I come from Sydney Australia. I booked with my wife Valley Of The Kings Tour with The Travel Connection Tours for our Honeymoon Trip. I stay with Marriott Hotel. The tour guide picked us up from the hotel. He takes us to the airport and the airport to Luxor. We find the tour guide with a sign with our name to take us to the Valley Of The Kings Queen Hubisu. Great organisation and professional. Our tour manager Mr Mohammed Khaled was very helpful, informative and was a brother to me while we stayed here. We came as tourists and we left like family. My wife and I love this place and organisation so much we want to move here with them. We will return again very soon. I recommend the travel connection tours to all Australians and the world. Tour guide speak great english and othrer languages very well. We take the night cruise for 4 nights with breakfast, lunch and dinner on the nile and it was just an amazing incredible experience. We had an amazing trip and we are very very satisfied beyond our belief. If you are coming to Egypt you must book with the travel connection tours to have the best experience and safest trip possible. Helped us to buy ticket from luxor to aswan and back to Cairo. We also booked a tour of the Pyramids of Giza also. Wow wow wow! Breathtaking. No competition the tour company are like family to me I can not explain how much fun we had, the food was wonderful, the the tour company were incredible and the tour itself was just beyond words and just absolutely incredible. Thank you The Travel Connection Tours. Highly recommend. All my friends and family are coming very shortly to this wonderful organisation. Highly Recommended!!!! Best price in Egypt! Safest in Egypt. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the love on social media! We’re thrilled you had a great trip.

    The Travel Connection Tours offer the BEST tours in Egypt for Europeans ✌🏼 highly recommend!

    I booked with the travel connection tours, nice cruise to Luxor, Aswan and I had a perfect time. I come from the UK and travelled alone solo as a woman. The tour guide spoke very good English and made me feel at home. He came on time and booked everything so I had no stress and felt very welcomed. I was staying in Marriott hotel and when I booked the tour guide and car was punctual with 5 star service. I am very happy with the company and people. When I come back from Aswan, I booked pyramids in Giza and I see all of Giza and I love this company. I recommend this company for all Of UK and Europe if you want to be in safe hands and have the best time in Egypt. The best company to book through is definitely the travel connection tours!

    Valley of Kings Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Valley of Kings Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 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 Valley of Kings Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Valley of Kings Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Valley of Kings Day Tour?

    +

    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 Valley of Kings Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Valley of Kings Day Tour?

    +

    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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Valley of Kings Day Tour 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), 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.

    What is included in Valley of Kings Day Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Valley of Kings Day Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Luxor. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Valley of Kings Day Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Valley of Kings Day Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Valley of Kings Day Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Luxor. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Valley of Kings Day Tour?

    +
