Luxor's Golden Dawn: 2-Day Ancient Marvels & Balloon Ride

Be very careful as this operator is not super forthcoming with information once you book. Very unresponsive to WhatsApp when we asked for a timeline of our two day trip and especially when it came to the hot air balloon ride. We booked the sunrise balloon ride or at least that is what the add online indicated but that did not happen. We were finally messaged at 10:30pm the night prior to our booked and told pick up would be 5:40. Obviously not early enough to make the 6:30 sunrise as pickup for that is at 4:00. Every single person in the shuttle and on the boat thought the same as us, that we booked the sunrise trip so we are confident that it wasn’t just a miscommunication for mix up on our end. I am confident that this is an every day occurrence that when the sunrise trip is full this operator just puts people on the next one later in the morning. Maybe they don’t but the fact there is very little communication prior to the booking leads me to believe it’s not exactly an accident as there is only so much room every day for actual sunrise trips. With that said the trip we did was great but just not what we booked. As there is no shortage of tour operators I would not book through this one again.

The company and Dr Mo lack accountability and organization. Booked a sunrise hot air balloon ride with a two day tour of Luxor. The hot air balloon ride was sold as a sunrise hot air balloon ride, not the ride after the sunrises. The description does not match what all English speaking foreign people on our boat this morning believed they had booked. The day I booked the tour I sent a message via the viator app to ensure our itinerary was set and the transfers from the airport were set. It took 2 days for the company to respond. Dr Mo was not responsive to WhatsApp messages either. The day before the hot air balloon ride my fiancé and I did not know when we were being picked up for the hot air balloon ride until 10:30 at night. I had sent several messages inquiring. I had been on one before that didn’t go due to wind. The pickup was 4 am and I wanted to be ready. We watched the sunrise on a boat on the Nile which was to transfer us to transport to the hot air balloon field and saw all of the other balloons take off. Everyone on our boat had received the very same impression that they were buying a sunrise tour. When messaged with my disappointment that he had scammed all of us into believing we had a sunrise tour, he messaged that it would have cost more and left at 4 am. At no point was this communicated. I would not use DR Mo tours ever again. I live in Cairo and will not be bringing any friends or family through his company. I will ensure that the international community that I am a part of will know of my experience and beware. Upside, The tour guide, Hassan, and our driver, Mohammed, were great.

Amazing experience, the pilot and crew were friendly and professional. Felt completely safe in their capable hands. Worth the early start! Thoroughly recommend.

Had a great time enjoyed the sunset and the lunch made my time in Egypt a good one and can’t wait to visit again

thank you DrMo Tours for perfect trip in Luxor, really its amazing tours and moments i cannot never forget with you,, again thanks DrMo Tours :)

Disappointing driver demanding tips nonstop. He even followed us after getting dropped off asking us to withdraw cash from an ATM for more tips. Might as well have hired a local taxi instead.

Great pick up experience. We had an amazing drive to our hotel with a great conversation with out driver. He made us feel welcome and shared a bit about his beautiful city.

Prompt pickup and a great driver! I felt safe the whole ride and they helped me with my luggage. I would definitely use them again

The driver picked us up in front of the station and saved us the headache of the taxi drivers. Definitely recommend it. The car was clean and had a good AC.

Driver was on time and helped us with the baggage. The car was comfortable, clean and had air conditioning.
