Excellent value for money
Excellent tour. The driver picked us up from our hotel at 22.30 the night before and drove us in a comfortable, air conditioned car to Luxor. We stopped for breakfast there at 04.00 (omelette, cheese, salad, aubergine dish, bread) then went to the Hot Air Balloon ride. There was some waiting around here but we then went up in a big balloon with around 24 people. The pilot was friendly, made us feel safe and spoke English. We toured for about an hour, the sunrise views were incredible and we over-looked Ancient Egyptian ruins. Then we started a tour around Valley of the King's, Hapshepsut and Herbo (?sp) and they were all fantastic. The only part of the tour I felt a bit uncomfortable on was when they took us to an Alabaster house where they showed us how they made ancient pottery and then took us into a shop and made us feel like we couldn't leave unless we bought something, or left an 1000EGP tip. We then had lunch (chicken shwarma with lots of vegetable sides, Cucumber salad and fresh pita bread) and started the 5 hour drive back to Hurghada. The tour guide was very friendly and welcoming but I personally struggled to understand a lot of what she was saying (that could have been a problem with me) and she equally struggled to understand any of my questions, but it didn't ruin the tour. A photographer followed us along and took lots of photos the whole time which was helpful (yet to be sent them but sure we will be). A tiring day with the night drive and early start but well worth it for the sunrise balloon ride and being at the tourist attractions first thing in the morning before the rush hour and heat of the day. Be aware, you are expected to tip at most places, and the bizarres that you walk through on your way out the tourist attractions are quite pushy but this was expected. Our driver, Bomba, was friendly and helpful.

A fun and informative trip
What a great experience! Samira provided us with the rich and detailed history from several historic sites in Luxor. She was able to answer any questions and her English was very good. Bomba was our driver and was very polite, smiling and spoke good English. The journey from Hurghada was around 5 hours, we were picked up at half 10 and able to sleep a little in the car on the way to Luxor. We stopped half way for toilet breaks both ways. We were treated to a lovely breakfast around 3am and then driven to the air balloon site. Bring some water with you and a jacket as its cold at this time in the morning. The hot air balloon ride was fantastic, gorgeous sunrise and amazing views over luxor. You can leave your bags in the car while going on the air balloon ride but remember to bring money to tip the friendly crew. We were then driven to 3 different sites in Luxor, the tickets were included and Samira gave us as much information as you wished for. The temples were incredible. There are facilities you can use and you can purchase more refreshments as it can get very hot with little shade in places. We had a great lunch back at the breakfast stop around midday before being driven back to Hurghada. There's aircon in the car and Bomba can play fun music or let you sleep as it is a long day. Bring suncream, water, a hat, and as much energy as you can! Highly recommend this experience.

Amazing and breathtaking site you don’t see often full of history
The tour was amazing and breathtaking every site that we saw was just gorgeous and rich with history and the staff Bomba and Abdul were absolutely fantastic helped in anyway possible and provide you with food and drinks throughout the day making sure you don’t suffer during the heat of Egypt.
Would highly recommend this group if you want to see the sites of Luxor and have a great team backing you behind it get to see the real sites of Egypt in it’s full glory

Great experience!
This was an amazing tour! The hot air balloon at sunrise was hard to beat. We also had a fantastic tour guide, Ahmed, who has training as an Egyptologist, and provided a lot of context for the different sites we visited throughout the day. They also took lots of photos for us. We had a great time, and would do it again!

Je recommande
Nous avons réservé cette journée en ligne et sommes ravis de l’avoir fait ! Bomba notre chauffeur est venu directement à l’hôtel nous chercher et a été aux petits soins avec nous, tant pendant le trajet qu’en arrivant sur place en nous prennant en photo devant les colonnes de Memnon avant la foule.
Le petit déjeuner était très copieux et Bomba toujours aussi attentionné !
Une très belle rencontre et une journée que nous vous recommandons ! Les temples, les montgolfières, la vallée dès fois avec notre guide Maria sont dés souvenirs inoubliables ! Merci 🙏
