Is this tour suitable for children and elderly travellers? +
Yes — because this is a fully private tour, the pace is entirely adjusted to your group. We recommend comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. The sites involve moderate walking on uneven surfaces. Children are welcome, and we adapt the guide's commentary to suit all ages. Please let us know in advance if anyone in your group has mobility needs.
What is the best time of year to visit Luxor? +
Luxor can be visited year-round, but the most comfortable months are October through April, when temperatures are pleasant and the desert air is cool. Summer months (June–August) are very hot, though tours still run and sites are less crowded. Early morning visits — which this itinerary is designed around — make summer visits manageable even in the heat.

What Our Guests Say — Private Luxor Tours

★★★★★
It was an amazing trip and I'd 100% recommend it to anyone. The hot air balloon at sunrise was unreal — 1000% recommend doing it. The drive was just us and the driver, it was nice to see the non-tourist places along the way. An incredible experience from start to finish.

I had a perfect experience with Memnon Reisen. I booked the 2-day Luxor trip online, got fast feedback, and my perfect trip was organised from A to Z.
★★★★★
Great service with a great team. The guides were very professional, friendly and helpful — you can ask anything and they will help no matter what. The food was very tasty. We would never have had the same experience without them. Thanks Memnon Reisen!
★★★★★
Everything was perfectly organized. The driver Ali was very nice, polite and careful. Our guide Malik was exceptional — he knew everything about Egyptian history and spoke excellent German. Everything exceeded our expectations.
★★★★★
Our experience in Luxor was absolutely perfect! The hot air balloon ride was a once-in-a-lifetime experience — watching the sunrise over the Valley of the Kings and the Nile was breathtaking. Our guide Atif explained everything in detail. If you visit Egypt, you can trust Memnon Reisen for great experiences.
★★★★★
We've trusted Memnon Reisen twice now, on different trips (Luxor and Cairo), different years (2025 and 2026), and we've been very satisfied both times. We'll certainly use them again when we return to Egypt.
