Amazing day

The whole day was well organised. The balloon trip was an amazing experience. The pilot who flew the balloon handled the craft with such ease making it look easy which tells me he was highly experienced. Our guide Hassan was extremely knowledgeable, polite and provided in depth insight into all the sites we visited . Would recommend this tour and this guide

Amazing Day with a great guide

We did a full day Luxor tour with Abdul. It was an amazing experience. You can feel difference with a guide who loves his job and is excited about explaining things. He had my teenage sons attention the entire day. The tour covered so much but the day flew by. We got to see everything we wanted. We also added on the hot air balloon ride which was a highlight.

Great experience

Our Hot Air Balloon ride was cancelled due to weather. But the company rescheduled for next day. Also our day tour was covered thoroughly with Ahmed Aziz. Ahmed was through and very knowledgeable. The company should advise/promote buying the Luxor premium pass or combo to cover archeological sites at discounted rates, instead of buying each pass separately and paying full at each location. Lunch was local and tasty. Definitely recommend a day tour if you are short on time in Luxor.

Inolvidable

The balloon experience is amazing!! We saw the sunrise over the Nile. Then we took a tour with Ragab and we learnt a lot about ancient Egypt through him. He was very pacient with us because it was 40 degrees Celsius outside and we wanted to stop a little bit any 10 minutes. Even so, we visited Memnon, the Valley of the kings, Karnak temple, Hatshepsut temple and we enjoy a delicious lunch at Africa restaurant with a lovely view to the Nile River. Also Ragab is a great photographer 😊

Incredible. A life long dream brought to life by two great guys and a very well put together tour.

We had two guys with us both called Khalid. They were absolutely wonderful and lovely. Khalid 1 is an exceptional guide. He was a fountain of knowledge on all the things that he showed us today. And he showed us a lot!! He is a great story teller and also takes a real interest in listening to your questions and giving you all the information he has to answer them. We knew only a little about Luxor before this tour, but have come away feeling fascinated by what we have heard and learned today. Khalid 1 is a happy man who is very friendly and good company. He makes you feel relaxed and comfortable in his presence. He is a highly trained Egyptologist with 16 years of guiding experience and has also spent time on some archaeology digs, so we were very lucky to get him. It was an absolute pleasure to spend an afternoon with someone so passionate about ancient Egypt. Thank you for making it a special day for us, Khalid. Khalid 2 drove us everywhere and was such a kind hearted guy. On the way backed he bought us some sugar cane juice to give us a bit of an energy boost. He also very kindly went out of his way to take us to a supermarket and waited patiently while we stocked up on some supplies. What a legend! Thank you so much. The balloon ride in the morning is well worth the early start. Very peaceful flight and superb views.
