Itâs a great experience. A must try for at least once if you are here. Very efficient. Would say it is very safe. They know what they are doing. Overall very good and well spent experience.

Pleasant experience. Very professional Ballon pilot and crew. They came on time. Kept us informed all the time.
View from Ballon was great. Captain Hisham was very professional.
Crew was very hardworking and had to struggle to anchor the balloon.

A must do experience in Luxor. Our guide was really kind and our pilot was amazing. Totally worth it!

Our driver was on time for pick up. The hot air balloon ride was great, but the landing was a little too hard. I totally understand the weather played a part. It was great to see the Valley of the Kings from the sky. I would recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Outside of the amazing hot air balloon ride expect complete disorganization from beginning to end. Lack of communication with pick-up person, they just randomly put you into baskets (there were over 40 our day) with no rhyme or reason, there is no set wait area, kids accosted many patrons looking for money, the drop off after was just as disorganized.
Pros: gorgeous 360â° views of the sunrise, Luxor valley, farmlands, valley of the nobles, Ramses' temple ruins, etc.
Cons: everything else, total disorganization
Matthew_T, Oct 2025
If you're interested in the best views of the valley of kings and the surrounding area, nothing beats this tour. Or guide/pilot demonstrated incredible control, precision and accurately launching,guiding and landing our balloon. He set it down on a dime. đ

This is a must when visiting Luxor, it is an awesome experience đ Mr Mohammed and Mr Ziad were right on time with the schedule and our Pilot, captain Mohamed was the best in flying us high and safe. The best balloon ride ever â¤ď¸đ

Is a must when in Luxor.
Totally unforgettable. Takes about 3 hours. The ride is only 30 to 45 minutes. But worth it.
Mamunur_R, Jul 2025
Everything was good upto Ballon ride then after the Ballon landing things totally changed, they gave us old/broken car no AC (the pickup car was fine). Also with 3 children, we were following their own staffs pickup and drop, rather than dropping us in hote they picked 2 more person then again went back to Ballon landing place whereas they supposed to drop us in hotel with AC car. At the end we have reached hotel after 1.5 hour and it was very exhausting for children as they woke up 4 am. Also we were told some snack and water, nothing was offered.

A incredible adventure! An amazing view and experience! The guide was very informative and the landing was so smooth! Our favorite activity during our stay in Egypt!
Miguel_R, Jul 2025
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 wonât regret it!! đđź
Nieyaaz_A, Jun 2025
Very organised and effective guide/operator ⌠i donât think anyone should be complaining! A truly magical experience seeing valley of kings from 1000ft. A definite must for all passing through Luxor

VIP Hot air
Balloon trip! Personal driver pick up at ship and guide, Saeed was so personal, informational and engaging. Caring that we had the best experience and return to our ship within the ships schedule. This sunrise experience was a once in a lifetime event in Egypt with Egypt Tours! Our Pilot Abdul was Wonderful! Thank you for the best time!!
Johanna_G, Mar 2025
The trip in the early morning was nice. They picked up us in time.
But wie just stayed 30 minutes in the air and there was no breakfast/tea like promissed.
James_M, Feb 2025
The balloon ride was brilliant - very professional pilot and reputable operator, fantastic views.
We were picked up from our hotel on the West Bank on time (6.30am) and dropped back promptly after the flight. It was good going after sunrise as saw the first balloons take off on our way to the site, and had only a short wait at the take off site for our departure.
Mark_B, Jan 2025
Fantastic balloon ride. Picked up on time, a little chaotic at the take off site. The ride over the valleys was fantastic, the pilot did a good job in rotating the balloon so all could get a good view and some photo's. Picked up quickly by the team and transported back in time for breakfast. What more could you ask for.
Cheryl_B, Jan 2025
Everything was well organised - from hotel pick up to drop off! Incredible balloon ride and views - 100% recommend!
JS_T, Jan 2025
No logistics whatsoever, the transfer was delayed by 80 minutes, no communication with the organizer and then lies on his part, everything quickly without any information, coffee, tea or the promised cake for breakfast were just a dream. The flight itself was great. The balloon captain was nice and polite. He was professional. I sincerely advise against this organizer.
Ameer_B, Dec 2024
This was by far our most memorable experience on our trip. Absolutely amazing. The company was professional. The crews were jovial and easy going. Would recommend without hesitation.
J_C, Dec 2024
It was spectacular!!! No words to describe this experience, it's something that you must do if you stay in Luxor!!!
Gerardo_M, Dec 2024
Amazing experience, very recommended.
The views are incredible.
Very professional people. They pick up us at the hotel and bring us back!
Sasha_D, Dec 2024
Its was great. I was scared to try this but Im so grateful i did. It was a beautiful experience with the best staff.
robert_w, Nov 2024
Really Excellant trip. Picked up on time and returned safely. Went on second flight so there wasnât much waiting about as balloon already inflated. Value for money wise it was outstanding. Views are superb
Prachi_M, Nov 2024
The actual balloon ride was great. But the stuff before and after wasn't. Waiting in the boat, then the taxi.
Yang_L, Nov 2024
Very nice balloon ride, even I have fear of higth very much, I didnât had any problems during the entire ride. We had a very good captain and all went very well. Or was my first balloon ride and it was a very positive experience!
Jing_Y, Nov 2024
Picked us on time, and helped us get bus ticket. Overall, itâs a nice trip with great experience . Save us a lot of energy in doing research. Recommend this for anyone who donât want to buy the ticket by themselves.
yinwa_l, Oct 2024
They upgraded my hot air balloon trip to a sunrise ride but unfortunately due to bad weather it was canceled. They were offered me to try next morning but I have to left Luxor in the morning. So they were full refund at the same day. Honest tour operator.
Alvaro_G, Oct 2024
It was a nice experience, the guide were puntual to pick us up in the cruise and took us to the ballon point. Maybe they could be more friendly and kind, but this is not a major issue. The pilot never said a word, he could explain more things about the fly, the ballon, etc...
Anthony_F, Aug 2024
This was a number one thing for me to accomplish in Luxor. You couldn't ask for a better price. I know there are mixed reviews for this tour, but everything ran smoothly from my perspective, and I was able to see beautiful Luxor from the air at sunrise. The tour operator got us to the launch site on time, without incident, and arrived safely back at my hotel when it was over. I definitely recommend this tour when your in Luxor.
