The best experience I had in Luxor, amazing!!!! - This was AMAZING. The transfer was well organized, they were friendly and had a good spirit, we departed with the balloon just when the sun was coming up, and the pilot was really skilled in navigating the balloon, i was quite impressed! We had enough space in the basket and the pilot was telling us what we saw and was turning the balloon so we could see it from all sides. and the view, wooooow!! 11/10!!

Amazing amazing amazing ! Do it !! - One of - if not THE - most amazing experiences of my life. Allow around 4 hours in total including transfers - around 45 minutes aloft. Pick up from hotel included a motor boat trip across the Nile to a minibus waiting on the West Bank - this felt like a bonus experience with the dawn call to prayer echoing across the valley. Even watching the balloons set up and inflate is a breathtaking experience - the skill and experience of the ground crew and pilot (who said he flew Airbus jets for a domestic airline as his day job). Landing (very gentle) was in the desert south of the monuments area and we were picket up by minibus shortly after.

An Egyptian balloon ride to remember! - Spectacular from start to end, we had to wait for air traffic control to give the go ahead, as soon as received the staff, team gave the greatest high fives, shouts, sprang into action to inflate the balloons it was a joy to watch. Our guide Hassan was fab, funny, enthusiastic. Our pilot Ramadan was awesome, the trip exceeded my expectations and this was my first ride. Great views, great team, staff and excellent pilot. Thank you,

Brilliant ballooning - I’ve never been ballooning before and this trip totally met my expectations. So exciting when the klaxon sounds to confirm the conditions are good for flying all the balloons start inflating. The hustle bustle and excitement of watching 43 balloons set off was epic. Ramadan our pilot was great, checking we were all comfortable and happy. Super smooth landing in a little field in a village with the crew there to help land the balloon. Loved every minute

A first time wonderful experience - We really enjoyed this experience and felt we were in safe hands at all times, although by the time we got to the site many balloons were already up and the sun was already rising. They did upgrade us to a 20 man balloon for no extra cost (most are 35). Being short and older I did struggle to get in and out of the basket but I was very kindly helped in and out. Wonderful views and the pilot gave us a full description of the sites below. Take off and landing was incredibly gentle and not scary at all. They only use the best Don Cameron balloons made in the UK, in which they pride themselves. The staff work incredibly hard and they deserve a tip at the end. Transfers were great but a bit of waiting around, especially on the boat. Wear trousers and trainers or walking boots They take photos and then try to sell them to you at the end (I was gullible) - they aren’t great quality (on a usb) and not worth $20

Go Viator and save a bundle! - While on a Viking tour/cruise we took this alternative tour. Left our ship later than the Viking balloon ride crowd, returned before them, and we ALL went off at about the same time - while saving considerable $$$. Nothing against Viking, but this was way less $$$ for exactly the same experience. The Viator folks were in touch with us from the day before, verifying all our info, as well as pickup time and re-arrival at the ship. Superb job all around.

Great Balloon ride - We had a wonderful ride coordinated by Khalid and Captain Abdu. I was a bit nervous, but they kept it light and fun. The ride was gorgeous with the sunrise on the monuments and the fields below. The balloon ride was smooth and I would definitely recommend it!

A good first time experience! - It was a good ride with organised Khaled and Captain Rakeb. The total in air flight time is usually 20-25 minutes with around 10 min high up and rest of the time taking off and landing below. Thrilling and good first time experience. Would say the time in the sky high up could’ve been 5-7 minutes more. Overall an experience not to miss in Luxor!

We landed in a field, in front of a depraved peasant being trampled on his crops... - The start was a bit weird... the flame was different from the other balloons and we could see that ours would gall to right itself. The flight was nice, we saw the sunrise. On the other hand, the landing took place in a field under the detested gaze of the peasant. We trampled on his culture, we're sorry for him. Too bad it ends like this. We took this company which is more expensive than the others thinking it was more qualitative, but no difference. We didn't even fly over the Valley of Kings or the Queen's Temple.
