Great experience, would definitely recommend
It was an amazing experience visiting ancient sites and enjoying the baloon ride over Luxor.
Special thanks to Samira and Sameh who made the experience really memorable, smooth and exciting!
I would definitely recommend the tour and the agency as everything was well organized, on time and professional.
Best,

Amazing experience
Amazing ballon ride, full private AC car, throughout the trip and private guide Ahmed, who was very knowledgeable and explained everything in simple story form. He accompanied us throughout our visit at all 3 tombs in the valley of death and the Habu temple. He also took a lot of photos while providing the tour which was a bonus. Gave us a lot of info on the life of the artists and took us to one of their house where you could buy hand made items from them directly.
Then we had our visit to Hatshepsut temple and Karnak temple, where he gave us an overview of the place at the entrance to then explore the place at our leisure.
Overall a lot to cover but it was worth it. My learning is to do Karnak temple on a separate trip as it’s too much to do in 1 trip.

Avoid
Don’t believe the other reviews!!! This company are con artists and Viator are no help either. We we collected at 23:00, driven for 30mins then the drivers stopped for 1.5 hours without any explanation. I contacted the tour guide directly asking what was going on and was rudely told to “be quiet” he then lied claiming a car crash caused them to stop, but no other vehicle on the road stopped. It later transpired they had not filled in the correct paper work. The drivers spoke broken English at best and just drove us around for 4 hours, as they were attempting to get through the checkpoints without being checked. We had a young child with us, and instead of trying to comfort or explain the situation the tour operator decided to blame us for asking questions. Ultimately after 4 hours we had to beg them to take us back to the hotel instead of trying to blag there way through checkpoints. This is not a safe tour, do not be fooled by the other reviews BEWARE.

Absolutely unforgettable! Stunning sunrise balloon ride
The best experience of my life! I’ve traveled a lot, but this tour was truly something special. Watching the sunrise over Luxor from a hot air balloon was absolutely breathtaking—one of those rare moments that takes your breath away. The photographer, Islam, was incredible, capturing the most stunning photos that I’ll treasure forever.
After the balloon ride, we had breakfast before heading to the Valley of the Kings with our guide, Ahmed Elsisi. He was amazing—so knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the history to life in a way that made the experience even more unforgettable. We also had lunch at a local restaurant, and it was hands down the best food I had in Egypt!
Everything about this tour was perfect, from start to finish. Our driver, who picked us up and took us back to our hotel, was so kind and professional, making the journey smooth and comfortable. If you’re thinking about booking this, don’t even hesitate—it’s an experience you’ll never forget!

Excellent highly recommend
Was a great trip today what amazing people!! The balloon ride was incredible thank you to Osman…. Great pilot knowledgeable and very reassuring for us nervous ones. The breakfast and lunch was authentic and very tasty, great bunch of people very friendly and welcoming.
Our guide was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable, nothing was rushed and very informative.
Driver was good too… only criticism would be that on the driving stops the toilets were not good at all, one area to work on or change stop destinations with better flushing toilets. We have all had a great day and are still talking about it. Thank you

Highlight of every Egypt trip
I made the trip to Luxor a second time.
Just because of the driver Bomba, with whom you feel safe throughout the journey, you have to give 5 stars.
The hot air balloon ride is simply sensational. An absolute highlight and must.
But it is best to rest well the day before and get some sleep during the day to get through the day physically.
The goals are also super interesting.
My guide last time, two years ago, was better than this time. He was good but back then we got a lot of exciting extra knowledge that will stay in your memory forever. This time it was the default program. The German language of the guide was excellent.
I strongly advise against going to the stonemason "museum." This is a pure sales show and unlike promised, the objects are not one-off products, handmade on site, but mass products that you can get at any stand in Hurghada or Luxor for half.
If you keep your eyes peeled, you see the same products on every corner and exclusivity is gone. Also promised alabaster stones, turn out to be plastic. It's best to tell the guide to skip this stop and go to the workers' village instead (it's even nicer than the Valley of the Kings! Insider tip from my first tour!)
I can recommend this tour to anyone who is physically fit!
The food was also very delicious and authentic. Both breakfast and lunch!

Not to be missed
You must book this. I’m well travelled and this is in the top 10 things I have ever done. Picked up from hotel at 11pm and slept in the car. Breakfast followed by Balloon ride at sunrise. Epic. Then met our guide Abdul and photographer Islam who record the day free of charge so you can concentrate on listening to Abdul who is an archaeological professor so most knowledgeable and not be taking photographs. What you see in the temples is mind blowing and the short river ride on the Nile is also a lovely little extra touch. This is highly recommended and well worth the extra for a private tour. I hope you get our driver Mr Rady, Abdul our guide and Islam our photographer.
