A fabulous tour, amazing experience and well worth it!
From the moment I was collected from my hotel at the start to being delivered to the next at the end, I was well looked after by my facilitator/guide, Mohamed, from Let’s Discover Egypt Tours.
I was even upgraded after my original cruise boat had a malfunction before departure. The Signature Royal Olivia was a lovely boat, my room was very nice and the service was excellent.
Shout out to Francis, the Maitre’d, who, along with the chefs, catered to my food allergy like a champion. The guides (and drivers) at all of the locations were professional and courteous. After my hot air balloon ride was cancelled, Mohamed came all the way from Aswan to Luxor to guide me through my last day of the tour... now that’s some excellent customer service. I highly recommend this experience with this very professional company.

Awesome
Amazing cruise. Great support from Mona Rahin throughout the whole trip. Our personal guide, Ahmed, was also incredible. Boat is very comfortable, great room and spacius bathroom. Food is great. I highly recommend this tour. All tours are included, except the balloon ride(highly recommended) and the Abu Simbel tour(I could not do it due to my return flight time). One small recommendation for the boat is to have more shaded areas on top, as it was extremely hot in May. But minor inconvenience, not to discourage taking this trip.

Sensational experience – Professional pilot and fantastic views!
An absolutely fantastic experience! It’s important to know that the company sets the start time. After some back-and-forth, we agreed on a 4:15 AM hotel pickup (originally planned for later). We actually took off shortly after sunrise around 5:30 AM. Although we were among the later launches, it didn't take away from the experience at all—the colors of the morning sky were stunning.
The pilot was sensational, clearly very experienced and professional. A big plus was the basket size; we were in a smaller basket with only 20 people, rather than the usual 32, which made it feel much more personal. We reached an altitude of 3,350 ft and enjoyed perfect weather conditions during our 40-minute flight. The landing was incredibly smooth.
Don't let the fixed start times stress you out; the experience is breathtaking no matter when you launch. A very reliable company and highly recommended!

Unforgettable Day In Luxor!!!
Unforgettable experience!! Wife and I did the private full day tour of Luxor with Remon as our guide. Remon provided an awesome experience we will never forget. He was the perfect host, providing in depth knowledge from both his studies in Egyptology and his experience growing up in the region. We could not be happier with the comfort and expertise extended to us throughout the day on our journey through the amazing history. Karnak Temple was our favorite but all stops in the Valley of Kings, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and Colossi of Memnon were just as astonishing. The boat ride and lunch was a great addition that is recommended. Thank you Remon and his driver for memories we'll never forget!!

Amazing experience, a must do in Luxor
Initially cancelled due too wind, but rebooked for the following day and luckily the weather improved and the flight went ahead. It was an amazing experience, very well organised, and the crew was super professional and accommodating. I took the sunrise ride and I'd recommend it to everyone who is visiting Luxor. You won't regret!

A MUST (for the travel girlies)
This was the coolest thing we did. I was worried that there wouldn’t be any other balloons for sick pictures like the ones you see on Pinterest but there were plenty. The operators were kind and professional. They picked us up from our hotel and communicated with us via WhatsApp. We showed up in the dark and were in the air for sunrise as well as some time after. Gorgeous views of the temples, the Nile, and lots of Luxor farmland. Everything was very safe. Definitely recommend.

Talaat our king!
Talaat our king! Extremely personable tour guide, was a fantastic experience overall. Very knowledgeable and organized everything so all we had to do was enjoy and bear the heat.
Sailing was more like 2 days but the accommodations are 4 days. Food is fantastic pool was a huge bonus. Lots of canopy cover on the upper level

What an incredible expeience
A well organised and incredible experience!
All of our drivers and guides were professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We were kept well informed of flights, pick up times and itinerary for the day ahead.
Be prepared for long days, with early morning (4-5AM start) and late evenings (10-11PM), but well worth it to beat the heat and tourists! We were well fed and hydrated throughout the day, with breakfast, snacks and water. The included lunches provided a great variety of food which tasted absolutely divine.

A quality trust-worthy must in Luxor
Such an amazing experience from beginning to end: great communication, on-time pick up, upgrade to sunrise trip (booked 2nd trip at half price), long time in the air as the sun rises, drop off including a felucca ride.
Do not doubt it and grab a deal, you won’t regret it!! 🙌🏼

Not seeing something you are looking for?
From the roar of the burner as the balloon inflates to the tranquil glide over tombs and temples, Egypt hot-air balloon rides offer a new perspective on an ancient country. The former capital of Luxor is the signature spot for aerial magic. You’ll set off before dawn to capture the early morning light and, as you drift over the West Bank monuments, your pilot explains exactly what you’re seeing. Many Egypt balloon ride packages include hotel transfers, coffee, tea, and cake on landing, plus a flight certificate—it’s the perfect way to make lifetime memories.
