Espectacular
The trip was incredible, the cruise ship was very comfortable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Mona was our host and was always on top of things to make sure everything went smoothly and on time—highly recommended! Our best guide was Nasser in Luxor; he taught us so much and is a very kind and special person.

Uplifting experience!
We seemed to be a bit behind on the launch, but it was good to know they were waiting for confirmation on our safety. We ended up floating longer than expected, which was really nice. The flight was amazing! It was calm and peaceful and incredibly beautiful. The staff worked hard to stabilize the landing and helped (even lifted!) people out of the basket if needed.

Great tour to see the first pyramids
Really enjoyed the tour to see the first pyramids ever built. The sites are less busy and touristy compared to Giza. Hazem was a great guide and shared lot of interesting information. Recommend the tour for anyone interested to learn more about the pyramids.

Amazing Nile Cruise and Balloon tour
It was an amazing trip with my family to celebrate our wedding anniversary. At first, we weren’t completely sure about the 5-star cruise, so there was a bit of confusion.
However, Let’s Discover Egypt Tour and Viator were very helpful in sorting everything out. It turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to meet travelers from different countries and to learn about Egypt’s rich history through its temples and ancient tombs. The balloon tour was definitely a highlight, an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this trip.

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.

We had a great time....
We had a great time. Special thanks also to our tour guide Talaat. He did all his best to make this trip a great success. Relaxed and humorous guy.
The cruise 4 days/ 3 nights has quite a tight schedule but we saw kind of all highlights in this short time. Can really recommend it.

Once in a lifetime trip.
We took a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and the ship was outstanding!! We sailed on the Amwaj, 4 days 3 nights, it was clean and very comfortable. They had Great food, staff was friendly and attentive. They even surprised us at dinner with a birthday cake on my husband’s birthday.
Our private guide thru the 4 days was Ahmed. He was an excellent guide, friendly, and very well versed in Egyptian culture. Ahmed looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and safe. He stayed on schedule and even offered us Egyptian coffee, which was outstanding.
Also included with our booking was a balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise. It was absolutely beautiful and so worth it.
This was a once in a lifetime trip, and we would definitely recommend this cruise. Make sure to ask for the best guide they have; Ahmed 😊

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.

Great Tour - Highly Recommend
This was an EXCEPTIONAL tour. Everything went seamlessly from our hotel pickup, to our flights, to meeting our guide Dina at the Luxor airport. The logistics were simple and easy to follow. There was great communication from the tour company in the days prior. We got to experience more today than we expected. Our tour guide, Dina, was exceptional. She was so friendly, attentive to our needs and wishes, and incredibly knowledgeable. If you have the chance to request Dina as your guide, I highly suggest that you do. She is a treasure for this tour company

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!! 🙌🏼

Get Mohamed Awad if possible!
I had such a wonderful tour with Mohamed Awad, he is such a smart man. He really knows his history, he explains things so smooth and effortless.
Communication was on point, he messaged me the night before giving me clear instructions and where he would meet me. He offered to start early if I would like. I was picked up promptly from my hotel lobby in a nice clean air conditioned vehicle. We stopped for water, at the time Mohamed went over our day. He offered to allow me to customize our stops (great option to include). We set the itinerary and got our day started. He explained key details at each of our stops and didn’t mind repeating himself for things I didn’t catch on to right away. He took pictures for me as this was a private tour and I am traveling solo. He always offered me free time but I felt he was so thorough I really didn’t need it. I told him I was hungry, he was fine with us stopping. We stopped by this restaurant that was really good, with great customer service. I truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend this to anyone. I am a solo female traveler and I felt save and in good hands. Mohamed exceeded my expectations.

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.
