Kurz gesagt: Luxor West Bank Private Tour: Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple lasts 6 Stunden in Luxor, from $95.00 per person, with a licensed guide and hotel pick-up.
Überblick
Spend a focused half day on the West Bank of Luxor, where the pharaohs of the New Kingdom chose to be buried. With a private Egyptologist you can cover the main sites in about five to six hours and still stop wherever you like.
You drive to the Valley of the Kings, the rock-cut royal necropolis of ancient Thebes, and enter its painted tombs. Guides are not allowed inside the tombs, so yours explains what to look for before you go in. Next comes the colonnaded temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's first great female ruler, followed by a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon.
Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Luxor, entrance fees, bottled water for each guest, service charges and taxes are included. The ticket for Tutankhamun's tomb is optional and paid directly at the site.
The tour suits all ages. The price per person depends on group size and children pay less: see Prices by group size below.

Stop for photos at the two giant statues of Amenhotep III that once stood before his mortuary temple.
