Everything Luxor In One Day

I will share information with you that I not already listed under the tour information. - Expect a FULL day. We were picked up at 4AM and dropped off at 6PM. - The hot air balloon ride is highly dependent on near perfect conditions. Be mentally prepared if it doesn't work out. - A photo and video service during the balloon will be offered for an additional 25€ (the quality of pictures taken were great) - After the hot air balloon ride, we're surprised to continue with a private tour (with the famous Dr. Mo) - At the valley of the kings, although the ticket allows 3 tombs we only had time to see 2. - For Dr. Mo to tell us the story of King Tut, it was an additional $30USD/person. I didn't feel it was worth it. You can read the information off the informational board. - The place you will be brought for lunch is a tourist trap, about $20USD per person. - The tour brought us to hands on experiences- Alabaster Store, Perfume, and Papyrus. It was very cool, but every place we went I felt obligated to buy something, hopefully you can have better will power than me! Don't be afraid to negotiate!!! It was be better to split all the things we saw between 2-3 days. But if you only have one day like us, this is a great tour!

Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut

KENTARO_N, May 2026

カイロから寝台列車で早朝着、ルクソール半日プライベート観光 / Arrive early in the morning by sleeper train from Cairo, followed by a half-day private

カイロ市内から夕方に寝台列車で出発し、翌朝5:30ルクソール駅到着でプライベートツアーを予約しました。電車が少し遅延しましたが、予定通り合流し、王家の谷、ハトシェプスト神殿、王妃の谷、メムノン像を観光し午前中に終了致しました。当日中にアスワンへ移動しなければならなかったので、非常にスムーズに案内頂けました。早朝からスタートすると気温が涼しいので快適です。またルクソール行くときにはお願いしたいと思います。 I booked a private tour departing from Cairo in the evening by sleeper train and arriving at Luxor station at 5:30 the next morning. The train was slightly delayed, but we met up as planned and visited the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Queens, and the Memnon statues, finishing by noon. I had to travel to Aswan that same day, so the tour was very smooth. Starting early in the morning meant the temperature was cool and comfortable. I would definitely like to book this tour again when I go to Luxor.

Luxor East Bank Temples Tour

We had a wonderful day exploring the East Bank. Our tour guide Salwa was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We were picked up on time, she guided us through the Karnak and Luxor Temples. She explained the history and meaning of several drawings/ writings in through detail, took our photos and gave us time to take photos as we went along and also in the end. She was easy to chat to, really friendly and made our tour very enjoyable.

Fantastic experience

Best activity during our 10-day itinerary in Egypt - I fully recommend it to everyone. Pick up was easy at 4:30, and upon arrival we only had to wait for about 15 mins before we went up in the air. It is a truly unique experience and the sunrise made it even more special. Our captain gave us a minimal but humorous explanation of the view and handled the flight perfectly. 10 out of 10.

Recommended half day trip

Great half day excursion. With the newer road only takes about 4 hours. Hassan was a good guide. All three places were very worthwhile with well preserved and colourful carvings, especially at the artisans village where they were so complete and quite unique.

Excellent tour as described

We had an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and went into detail about the sights we visited. A stop was made at an alabaster factory, which seems like a tourist trap, but it was low pressure; overall the tour was hassle free, as described, and very enjoyable.

Rachel_S, Dec 2025

Amazing day in Luxor

A huge thank you to our driver Ali who was absolutely incredible! Very accommodating, super nice and always smiling, he accompanied us with great kindness throughout the entire day. Even though we didn’t book a guide, he still shared interesting information about Luxor and the sites we were going to visit by ourselves. He didn’t have to do that, but he did it with pleasure, which made our experience even more enriching. He was always perfectly on time to pick us up at every stop, and he made sure we could enjoy our day to the fullest, without any stress. Out of our whole trip, this was our favorite excursion — and that was largely thanks to him. We will keep an amazing memory of this day. Thank you again!

Amazing trip - Worth it.

Great trip! Read all the bad reviews before and was really worried but it turned out perfect. The Hot Air Baloon Ride was amazing and we felt very safe. After that we had Dr. Mo as our guide and he explained everything perfectly and not too long. We we‘re really flexible and it was a beautiful half day tour. Thank you so much. Definitely recommend.

Temples and tombs with Ahmed Omar

Ahmed Omar was a great guide for this full day tour of the temples and tombs. The private tour is recommended, as it allows for a more intimate learning experience. He always checked to see if I had any more questions. A very thoughtful guide. A nice lunch to finish the day.

This tour around the...

This tour around the pyramids was truly unforgettable! Our tour guide Osama was fantastic — knowledgeable, passionate, and very engaging. We got plenty of time to walk around and take photos. Osama was very patient during all our photo shoot and even participated and directed us in some of our poses. I highly recommend this tour.
