Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with Valley of Kings and the hot air balloon ride! Dr. Mo was an exceptional tour guide, truly a brilliant Egyptology professor, and an equally skilled hot air balloon pilot, making our trip unforgettable. The drivers were also fantastic, ensuring smooth and comfortable transfers throughout our journey. Just a heads-up for future travelers: if you're paying by card, confirm they bring the machine with them. This was a truly five-star adventure we'll cherish forever!

SCAMMERS! They charged double the price upon arrival the balloon area saying that they were not enough people. Try other better companies

These guys are scammers. I was informed that my appointment time might be cancelled. And so they tried to upsell me an earlier appointment time for $25 more. I told them I dont want upsold and to let me know soon if they will cancel the trip so I can plan my day. i said if they are going to take a while to tell me, then I prefer to cancel the trip because I could find another booking. He tried to upsell $10 extra to make sure the trip will go. Very sharky! I was informed that the trip would not go and that he could cancel my booking. I said yes and then book another tour. Then he would not can

Balloon Ride – Honestly, it was a very disappointing experience. They kept us waiting for over an hour in the field, and when our turn finally came, it was the last ride of the morning. By then the sun was already up, the weather was hot, and the magical sunrise view was gone. While others were already returning home, we were just taking off. Definitely not worth it. Luxor All Day Tour – This was even worse. They took us for breakfast at Ali Baba Café, which clearly seemed like a commission stop. For just one omelet and a Pepsi, the bill was 350 EGP (~8 USD)! Later, at the Valley of the Kings,

The hot air balloon ride in Luxor was absolutely phenomenal. The views were breathtaking—we floated over the Nile, the West Bank, and even had a stunning perspective of Hatshepsut’s Temple from above. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The only downside, and the reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars, was the timing. I specifically asked when we’d be back at the hotel and was told by 8:00am, but we didn’t return until 9:30am. Unfortunately, this caused us to miss another activity we had planned. Aside from that scheduling issue, the ride itself was magical and unforgettable.
