I will never ever forget this birthday - I can't begin to explain how brilliant this trip was. Luxor was a dream. The scenes within the balloon as the sun rose over luxor and seeing the valley and the scenery was amazing. Sequence of events meant I had to step out of one of the cars into another, and oh my god. To see the stars without light pollution. I was speechless. Those 10 seconds became one of the best moments of my birthday! Thank you to Abdul, who made the tour amazing, especially karnak temple. You are a credit to the team Abdul ❤️. Thank you to Boomba as the boys said your energy was very much appreciated. I appreciated how attentive you were Boomba, thank you. Thank you to my driver as I needed the quiet to try and sleep, and I felt he understood my needs as he always kept the light off. Thank you very much sir, much appreciated again. I also want to say thank you to the staff at the restaurant we ate at. I loved it, and I absolutely loved that we were given tahini ❤️ I hadn't had Tahini in years! Brought back fond memories. Thank you to you all who made my birthday one of the best birthdays I have had in my entire life. Shukran jazilan ealaa kuli shay' 'atamanaa lak al'afdal Cheyanne

Absolutely brilliant - Absolutely amazing day and the tour was fantastic! Details to know; 1) The drivers pick you up from the reception at the hotel, so you don't need to worry where you're meeting up. The drivers gives all details to the hotel reception so the hotel knows where you are at all times. So it is safe 2) The drivers (Bomba/Abanop) will stop during both directions so you can go to toilet and get some refreshments. Both drivers will stay with you during those breaks so no one will hassle you and we felt completely safe. It also gave us a chance to talk to the drivers. Bomba really went out of his way to make sure we felt safe and was enjoying ourselves. He also ensured we were drinking enough water during those breaks too 3) For breakfast and lunch we went to a wee restaurant called Paris restaurant. The lunch you had a choice of chicken, beef and fish with rice and salad. The amount of food on the table is a really good amount. We weren't able to eat it all but all the food was amazing. The drivers and tour guide also stayed with you at the time, and during each interaction with the cafe workers so they're was no miscommunication. Again the place felt very safe and Bomba went out of the way to ensure we felt comfortable 4) Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Her knowledge was at another level. She also allowed us to set the pace so it was a very knowledgeable but relaxing tour. She also stayed with us to prevent us from getting hassled when leaving each tour center. Again she ensured we were drinking enough water and keeping us safe from others approaching us. Overall I think this tour was absolutely amazing. The team has went out of their way to ensure that the tours are a high standard and safe tour. The tours was absolutely stunning. We got some really good photos, and have really good memories from the places we got to visit. Thank for the team for putting this all together!!

Amazing trip - I recommend this trip, everything was great, a nice driver will take you to the place and an excellent guide will take care of you throughout the trip. A balloon flight is something so great, you will feel like a bird in the clouds.

Unique Experience and Thank You Maria ! - Very Fun Experience and big Thank You to Maria our Tour guide. She was incredibly fun and brought so much joy during the visits. I would recommend her to anyone booking this trip. The two best experiences were flying in a Hot air Ballon above Luxor and being on a private boat on the Nile. The pictures made by the tour are free if sometimes you show the agency board on pictures. Would recommend for unique experience

Think carefully before booking - Unfortunately after reading so many positive reviews ours was not of the same experience! We were picked up by BomBa at 10.45pm which we now recognise as being far too early for the balloon trip. BomBa was very charming to start with and we felt happy with him as our driver. Things changed when half an hour into the journey we were asked to change vehicle and be hidden in a mini bus with a dozen Arabian men to cross a border for which we were presumably not permitted at that time of night. It was understandably quite unnerving and not explained to us before hand well enough. Once we arrived in Luxor (3.30am) in a dark and dingy street we woke a man and his small boy to put together a breakfast that we didn’t even really want or need. We tried to eat some whilst covered in flies. We were then told to sleep for an hour and a half until the balloon trip for which somebody else was picking us up. As we hated the flies we opted to sit back on the car but that left BomBa in the restaurant fast asleep, we had to wake him to find out what was going on and at that point thought the whole journey had been wasted as we stood in the pitch black not knowing what was going on. The balloon ride itself went well but after we were so tired we were not really capable of the rest on offer. We briefly made it to the valley of the kings but then asked to be brought back to Hurghada. We recognise that this is not a visible trip in that time frame but we’re mostly disappointed in the cost involved. The cost being £412 and then absolutely everywhere you go they expect to be tipped and even BomBa asked us to pay for the drinks at breakfast. It’s definitely not value for money and the biggest disappointment of our holiday. I challenged this with Viator but we were told that because we bought a souvenir then we must have enjoyed it. We did this under duress and just wanted to get back to our hotel as quick as possible. This is the first thing I’ve booked through Viator that was less than great!
