Worth it in the end, just maybe be prepared for long wait times and missing the actual sunrise
Yes, the overall view and experience is absolutely immaculate and completely worth it if you have the time in Luxor! The ballon ride was great, the staff were polite and our pilot was excellent. However our balloon was the last one to leave which was disappointing as we had paid the extra fee for the first sunrise flight. Our ballon for some reason wasn’t the slightest bit pumped and was deflated upon arrival. The pick up was quite early, we waited for 1 hour and 15 mins in a car before even getting the okay to move.

Amazing experience by NICE TOURS
Got upgraded to a pre-sunrise hit air balloon ride (even though i paid for a cheaper post-sunrise session). The upgrade also gave us a free breakfast and Egyptian dance show. Very value for money.

Great views
Planned to have a post sunrise ride - the night before got upgraded for free to the pre sunrise view (so turned out to be a bargain price!). Hot air balloon driver was a pilot too!! Don't dress warm coz it gets hot up there.

Perfect balloon
Nice view with a sunrise flight over the Nile and the temples of Luxor.
The flight commander was perfect and very funny.
We were entitled to breakfast following the activity.

Un poco decepcionante
El vuelo se retrasó por las condiciones meteorológicas. Puedo entender que nadie tiene la culpa de esto pero el precio de salir al amanecer es mas caro que el de la siguiente ronda, y al final no pudimos ver el amanecer desde el aire, que es por lo que pagas ese precio. Estuvimos esperando un buen rato más mientras salían dos tandas de globos antes que nosotros cuando el día anterior ya habíamos avisado que teníamos que estar a tiempo para engancharnos a la excursión que teníamos programada y nos aseguraron que no habría problema. El piloto nos llevó a muy poca altitud, osea que las vistas que teníamos serían comparables a como si te subieras a un edificio o colina un poco alta (nada parecido a las vistas que se muestran en fotos). Vimos otros globos que volaban muy alto, otros no tanto como el nuestro, no entiendo el motivo de ésto.
Lo único que me pareció reseñable es poder ver cómo se hinchan todos los globos a la vez, y como van saliendo. La estampa de colores en el cielo es muy bonita pero quedamos bastante desilusionados

Fantastic flight, terrible logistics, but there are no options
The flight is fantastic and I would give 9 stars for it (not 10 as the landing was mediocre among high voltage wires and the only thing they do quickly is ask for/demand tips. Views are beautiful Highly recommended. Their logistics is a nightmare and I would give 0 stars for that. The pickup is around 4 am, then all the vans with all the people in them wait for an hour in one spot till 5:50 and then they race like crazy to balloon flight starting point. All companies do that so there is no option. On the first day my flight was cancelled because of bad weather, which I am glad, as safety first. The next day I wanted to show up at the place where the vans wait at 5:15 but that was too hard for them to process, so I had to get up at 4, was picked up at 4:30 we drove for 5 minuted to the meeting point and waited in a van for over an hour to start the race at 5:50.

Balloon Experience in Luxor
The hot air balloon was great, of course, but it was also great that the Nile River cruise was automatically included as a means of transportation.
The hot air balloon captain was very friendly and the entertainment was great.
The flight was originally scheduled to start at 5:30, but they changed the time so that we could see the sunrise.

Viaje perfecto
El viaje en globo y los trayectos de ida y vuelta todo perfecto. Salimos en un segundo globo que estaba por inflar donde estaba el primero. Lo montaron en 5 min (literal) y volamos en una cesta de 20 personas. La diferencia de precio de lo que nos pedía nuestra agencia no dudaría en hacerlo de nuevo. Excelente
