Unforgettable experience in Luxor!
Absolutely unforgettable experience! I took a day trip to Luxor from Cairo where my tour guide, Sama promptly picked me up from the arrival gate. Sama is extremely knowledgeable with good English and answered any questions I had with clarity and depth. Mohammed, our driver for the day did an amazing job navigating traffic and getting us to destinations promptly and safely. I had a late flight back to Cairo and Sama & Mohammed graciously found a few extra things to do with me to kill some time. I am over the moon with their hospitality and kindness. I would not choose another tour!

Must see locations but poor guiding
Great to see Valley of the Kings and Queens, and Hapshetsut temple. A must see when in Luxor. However the guide Fatma was low energy, gave minimal information, and did not mention to get an extra ticket for the Seti tomb which we would have liked to have seen even if it is a bit expensive. It seemed she had her own agenda and didn't care that we were excited to see as much as possible as it is our one and only chance to go there. We also were collected quite late considering there was a heatwave (8:30am) and so busy by the time we got there. It would have been better to go around 6:30am instead. We also had no interest in going to the alabaster workshop/store, but we were brought there anyway.

A superb visit. We...
A superb visit. We started really early at 0530 and had the temples to ourselves. Our guide Mahmoud was superb so informative and provided us with a real understanding for what we were looking at. We were not rushed and had time to take everything in. Having guide protected us from being hassled and I would recommend this approach throughout any trip to the key sites. Thank you Mahmoud F.

Luxor is a very beautiful country with it and its people
Luxor is one of the most beautiful tourist places that I visited. The queen Hatshepsut considers one of the most important queens in the Pharaonic era.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Valley of Kings, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Valley of Kings, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple Tour take?
+
Plan for about 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 Valley of Kings, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 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, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple 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, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Valley of Kings, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple Tour?
+
Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valley of Kings, Queens and Hatshepsut Temple 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 Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private), Luxury Sunrise Balloon Ride in Luxor with Hotel Pickup, Luxor Day Tour: Valley of Kings & Queens & Hatchepsut Temples. 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.
