We booked a private tour so that we didn't have to hang around in the heat waiting for other people, and I'm so glad that we did. Our guide phoned the day before to ask us what time we wanted to start the tour - we opted for a 7am start in order to avoid the heat. She was extremely knowledgeable, and her English was excellent. The tour was amazing, and we were able to dictate how long we spent at each site. I would definitely recommend doing this tour if staying in Luxor.

The Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut's Temple are incredible. Our guide was fabulous. She was a wonderful person and knew a lot about Egyptian history. I highly recommend this tour coupled with a tour of the East Bank on the same day. The private van is great. I am sure the air conditioning is a blessing in the summer months. I was there in Jan.

By the end you will know how to say Hatshepsut! It was so hot at the Valley of the Kings and the temple at Hatshepsut looks really quite modern but once you get up close it amazing that its 3000 years old.

Somewhere I have always wanted to see and it was certainly worth the wait. Our tour guide was very good and knowledgeable and answered all our questions expect a bit of hassle from vendors but if you don't want to buy then politely say no and move on. The heat was intense even at 6.30 in the morning so the tombs are a bit stuffy but really enjoyed it.

This was a good morning out, leaving the afternoon free; but an option for keen tourists could be to offer a longer visit or include the Valley of the Nobles.

The Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut Temple are very impressive. When we visited, Tut Ankh Amon's mummy was in display there so we got to see it as well.

Guide was great, but could have actually walked into the temples and tombs with us, providing commentary like other tour guides we observed inside. Ours waited for us outside of each site.

There are alot of other people everywhere you go and its really, really hot, but the tombs in Valley of the Kings are amazing. The decoration is incredible and its got a great atmosphere. Our guide was brilliant, he knew the best tombs to visit and told us heaps about them before we went inside. Also got to stop to buy some good quality Granite and Alabaster pieces and loved the air conditioned van.
