The driver was awful. Put us constantly at risk. We felt unsafe. Just left us alone in the car and wondered off without explanation in the muddle of the night. Stopped at places that had no toilets. Led my wife to a place to pee in the dirt when there were good facilities close by. Was constantly texting and on his phone while driving. Used inappropriate language around my wife. Left us without explanation for 2 hours on arrival to Luxor. You should not use this driver again. He had no respect for us or our safety!

Fantastic day with Legacy Tours
What a way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Great communication from start to finish from Legacy Tours. The private tour was truly that. Mohammad arrived at 23:00, in fact he was early. It is a long drive from Hurgada to Luxor but we managed to get some sleep. When we arrived we had breakfast at the Paris restaurant which was really nice. Remember drinks not included at breakfast or lunch but was cheap enough. The hot air balloon was amazing. Now I don’t like heights but it was one of the best experiences of my life. Legacy tour photographer was fantastic. Got all the shots and more. Onto the sun rise balloon experience and like I say it was a true experience. Pilots were informative and funny and the ground crew were unbelievable. After the hot air balloon We met our guide for the day. Professor Ahmed Elsisi. If you are lucky enough to get this guy you have done well. Informative, engaging a true gentleman. We then went to the Valley of the kings again Ahmed told us everything we needed to know. We were taken to Alabaster where we got to learn about the art and craftsmanship in making vases and statue. We also got a little try at helping them make some. Lunch was again at Paris restaurant which again was really nice. After lunch was the Nile cruise, again it was private and made special by Ahmed as we went on the top of the boat to see fantastic views. I just want to add here that Mohammed was still the one driving us round whilst Ahmed told us all the history of the Egyptians. We were also taken to see how paper was made from Papyrus and finally we went to Karnak temple which was impressive. A big thank you to Ahmed and Mohammed for making our day special.

Hurgada to Luxor
Trip
We booked a private tour from Hurgada to Luxor for our 20th wedding anniversary with legacy tours. We got picked up from our hotel in a private car by our lovely driver Mohammed. It was a long 3:45 drive but the car was comfortable and we did manage to get a bit of sleep seen as it was 11pm when we were picked up! When we arrived in Luxor we had our breakfast in a little cafe that included omelette, bead, cheese and salad. From there we were taken to our sunrise hot air balloon ride. WOW!! An absolutely amazing experience that I would 100% do again, the views were breathtaking. We even had a photographer taking some amazing pictures for us. After we had finished that we went back to the cafe where Mohammed was waiting for us and also our wonderful tour guide Professor Ahmed Elsisi . First we went to The Valley of The Kings and Ahmed was amazing at telling us all about it (well he is a professor in Egyptology!). From there we went to Alabaster and learned about how vases and statues are made and even got to have a go with some tools. We then went to Habubu Temple again a wonderful experience and Ahmed again told us everything that we needed to know and was very knowledgeable and every staff member we met said he was number 1 which we would certainly agree with!! We then went back to the cafe for lunch and had a lovely Egyptian lunch and a nice cold drink to cool down. After lunch we went to the Nile and had a lovely boat trip and Ahmed even got us to go up on the roof to have a sunbathe. Ahmed and Mohammed then took us to see how paper is made from papyrus. Our last stop was Karnak Temple, which is the largest temple and it was very hot but absolutely amazing. We are now back in the car for our 4:00 hr drive back to Hurgada. We are completely exhausted but it was worth every minute. We would highly recommend Professor Ahmed Elsisi as a tour guide, very friendly and knew everything about the places we visited (and in between).

Luxor Trip
We got picked up from the hotel in private cars, and was able to sleep all the way to Luxor. We woke up and had a lovely breakfast and got to go in the hot air balloons which was fabulous and done so smoothly! We then went with our egyptologist Ahmed Elsisi and he was fabulous taking us to the valley of the Kings and other places around Luxor. Ahmed took photos for us throughout the day and sent them to us on WhatsApp afterwards he was very knowledgeable and we all had such a fabulous day which ended with the most amazing meal we had in Egypt altogether also catering to myself as a vegan and the other guest! Hundred percent would recommend this trip!

An amazing day exploring ancient egypt
My wife and I went on this trip together. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We got picked up in a comfortable car with Aircon and had a seamless trip all the way to Luxor. With stops along the way to stretch our legs and relax. The driver was friendly and accommodating. When we got to Luxor we had a great breakfast before the hot air balloon. The highlight of the trip, a truly amazing experience. After the hot air balloon we met our guide and Egyptologist, Abdul, he was an amazing host. His English was really good and his knowledge was great. He was happy to answer any questions and was also incredibly kind buying as water and drinks multiple times in the trip. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

The best tour in ever!
From the beginning we knew we were in for the best time! The communication and planning were exceptional. Our driver, Sam, was truly incredible and made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the journey and tour. Our tour guide, Abdul, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided great insights and experiences throughout our tour. The highlight of the trip was definitely the hot air balloon, as it was a bucket list item for years and truly exceeded all expectations!!! Thank you!

Awful
Trip was cancelled on me twice each time 2 hours before collection and now we can longer do the trip because we go home Tuesday was told because of a military operation Just before piThe trip was canceled on me twice, each time 2 hours before collection, and now we can no longer do the trip because we go home Tuesday. I was told it was because of a military operation just before pick-up time. It was a joke from start to finish—a complete waste of time. Don’t waste your time booking this.

My name is Renata...
My name is Renata Szymanska Bak. I have recently booked a trip with my family online through viator, from our hotel (Hawaii Paradise Aqua Park Resort, Egypt) to Luxor, Egypt, with a balloon ride. I provided all booking information and i was prepared on time at my hotel entrance as the instructions stated, awaiting our pick up. However, the pick up never arrived. To strengthen my disatisfacfion, my calls to the provided phone numbers had been unanswered all day - before the trip. Once my hope dwindled, I asked hotel guidance. After finally contacting one of the numbers, we were told that there are no details of our booking, and that we need to wait till the next day for any informafion. Ending our trip and a happy holiday in Egypt.
