    Good experience

    Arrived on time, guide was knowledgeable with very good English, minibus was clean, good briefing before we got there, allowed us to set pace to some extent, didn't try too hard to get us to go to shopping or alabaster carving places, they were suggested but we could refuse. At end of tour gave tips to driver and guide, they didn't hassle us for the tips so it wasn't too painful a process. Of course you have to go to this place, I am not reviewing the actual places visited, just the company. I would use them again. Booking, payment, all done online, communication very good.

    Valley Of The Kings Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Valley Of The Kings Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 The Kings 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 The Kings 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 3 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 The Kings 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 The Kings Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Valley Of The Kings Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 The Kings 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 The Kings Tour?

    +

    Included: Private air conditioned vehicle; Qualified Egyptologist tour guide; Entrance fees to all the mentioned sites; Entrance to three royal tombs at Valley of the Kings; and Pick up service from your Hotel or Nile Cruise and return. Not included: Any extra not mentioned in the itinerary; Tutankamun tomb (250 Egyptian Pound Per Ticket); and Tipping for your tour guide and driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Valley Of The Kings Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Valley Of The Kings 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 The Kings 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.

    Is Valley Of The Kings Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Valley Of The Kings Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
