Beautiful experience
A beautiful experience we enjoyed the flight so much but we appreciated also the preparation and the sight of the flying balloons.

Very kind staff and people
Very kind staff and people. Not harassment at all (which is not usual in Egypt). This experience is a MUST, the best view of the valley of the kings from above.

Buena experiencia
Buena experiencia pero no había guia en español cuando es lo que habíamos contratado. De esto muy bien todo.

Great views, good experence!
Excellent experience. Were picked up from our hotel and on to ferry ride to go on the west side, from there another ride to the launch site. Had to wait around till there was a go ahead from some authority, at that point, all balloons started filling simultaneously and were were up in the air shortly. Regardless which company you use, most of them do the same thing and at the same time. Did not opt for video footage offered for USD $25 as we thought that was pricey. Overall good experience. Dropped off near Alibaba restaurant where we had decent breakfast

As stated in other...
As stated in other reviews, they say the pick-up time is 3:30 AM before you order. Shortly after I ordered they said the pick-up time was changed to 4:30 AM. Then they said it was moved to 5:30 AM. I belive they are doing this to move people to the cheaper option for them to have people on the second flight. After being quite strict about moving the pick-up time for two hours they said it was a mistake, and I was moved back to 4:30 AM. So be careful of that. Otherwise the pick-up and trip back to the hotel worked fine.

4/5. Almost perfect!
The balloon ride in Luxor is a must do!! That experience is a 5 out of 5! Communication was 3/5. We had settled on a pick up time for 530am with the understanding that there would be little waiting around. But eight hours before our pickup was rescheduled to 4:10am with the explanation being there was going to be bad weather. We did see later that the 7:30 balloons did lift off no problem. We would have preferred the extra sleep time

Epic
We had an amazing time. We've never had a hot air balloon ride before and were a bit apprehensive about what it would be like, but we needn't have been. From getting picked up from our hotel on the east bank to getting in the balloon on the West Bank was really slick, and the flight itself was such an amazing experience. We were offered either a 0400 pick up or a 0530 one and went for the latter start as we didn't want to have to get our children up too early - it worked out perfectly and we were back at the hotel just after 0800 in time for breakfast.

Nice Experience!
Our hot air balloon ride was fantastic! They are really good at their jobs. They were always on time, looked after us well, and made sure we were safe. The view from up there was amazing! We loved seeing everything from above and feeling the warmth of the balloon. The crew took good care of us and made sure we had fun while staying safe. We had a great time and would tell anyone to try it!
