Amazing views from the sky and below - Enjoyed the tour. They pick you up from your location and take you to airport Once you land in Luxor Someone is there to pick you up to take you to the hotel. Then the air balloon people will pick you up early in the morning to take you on the hot air balloon ride, which is amazing. Once the hot air balloon ride is over here, two guy will be there to meet you to take you to the valleys of the king, and all the other places. My guide Esraa was very friendly and accommodating to what I wanted during the tour. She recommended an excellent restaurant to eat if you want try authentic food. I highly recommend this tour is definitely worth the money.

Day Trip in Luxor - We had a day trip in Luxor with Ahmed Bahaa. We went to visit the Valley of the Kings, the Hatchepsut temple and the Colossi of Memnon. The Tours were great, Ahmed had a great deal of knowledge about acient Egypt, was super friendly and had an amazing accent, which made it very easy to follow the narrative. We finished having a nice lunch in Luxor. Would recommed this tour with Ahmed Bahaa if you want to have a good time in Luxor, with all the key places.

Recommended for turning efficiently in scorching heat. - 【Good points】 ◆The Guided tour by Ahmed yossry is very good and Recommendation. He showed me kindly and politely. Drivers are also Recommended to drive safely. ◆Visit Attractions efficiently. ← It was very important because it was scorching heat!! ◆ The morning balloon is amazing. The landing was like an attraction. ◆ Before, during, and after the tour, you can contact each other via WhatsApp for peace of mind. I was happy to change the pick-up and drop-off point for the return trip. 【Negative points】 ◆The hotel I stayed at was a 3-star hotel, but it was a well-worn Maryland hotel. At best it's a long-established store, at worst it's a wreck.... This was a good memory.... I don't want to stay anymore... ◆ I thought it would come with a plastic bottle of water during the tour, but it was not provided during the tour. (I got some water at the stone shop I stopped by, but I understand it is something else.) We got off Cairo airport on the way back and got some water on the way to our hotel. We recommend preparing a lot of water. ※It can be purchased in various places, but it is about 10 times more expensive than the market. (That said, it is about 1L/50EGP.)

Do not hire guide Mreit again - My guide, Mreit, asked me to write a review, so I'm sharing my experience. I joined the "Private Day Trip to Luxor by Plane from Cairo" tour, departing from Cairo on the night of June 27 and experiencing the hot air balloon ride early on June 28. until the balloon ride, everything was excellent. However, after the balloon ride, some issues significantly affected my experience. First, the agency informed me that after the balloon ride, the guide and driver would pick me up at the balloon location to continue the tour. But no one showed up, and I had to contact the agency. They then told me to wait at the hotel until 9:00 AM for the guide and driver. so I ended up waiting outdoors in the hot weather for an hour before someone finally took me back to the hotel. Second, the itinerary included a ride on a traditional felucca sailing boat. However, the guide, Mreit said there was no wind that day and switched to a regular engine boat. The ride, originally supposed to last 30-45 minutes, was shortened to 10 minutes. After disembarking, I had to walk over 300 meters in the scorching sun to get to the car, which made me suspect that the guide had changed the itinerary on she own. Third, due to the hot weather and the 300-meter walk under the sun after getting off the boat, I wanted to rest for 15-20 minutes at the air-conditioned area near the entrance of the Temple of Karnak. The guide agreed but kept interrupting my rest, first asking me to write a review and then urging me every 3-4 minutes. Fourth, the itinerary mentioned watching the sunset in Luxor. My flight was at 9:30 PM, so I planned to leave for the airport at 7:15 PM. However, the guide, Mreit insisted that I had to arrive at the airport three hours early, claiming it was far away. In reality, the drive to the airport only took 15 minutes. Even if we left at 7 PM, it would have been fine. But because the guide was so insistent and bothersome, I decided to go to the airport early, missing the sunset. Given these issues, I reasonably suspect that the guide wanted to end the tour early and go home. Therefore, please do not hire guide Mreit again and let him rest at home instead! The two points are for the agency and the balloon ride; the guide Mreit ruined my entire travel experience.
