Everything went according to schedule and it was a wonderful experience. I contacted the company in advance and they helped me with all possible information and questions I had. Khalid, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and was an amazing guide. He could answer all possible questions we had and knew exactly where to take pictures that were worth while. The lunch was amazing to say the least and we could not finish our food. The restaurant where we had lunch had clean bathrooms and was overall a clean restaurant. Our driver was cautious and a good driver. Thank you Khalid for making our trip wonderful and insightful!

Had an absolutely amazing time with this tour. Started off bright and early where they picked us up from our hotel and took us to the balloon launch site. This alone made the tour worth while, watching probably 30-40 balloons all launch at once and to see the sun rise over Luxor. This was our first time in a balloon and naturally have a fear of heights, but I can assure you it was one of the most comfortable peaceful things we've experienced and very glad to have done it. Upon landing, we were met with our tour guide, Ali. He was absolutely fantastic, spoke well and was quite knowledgable. We headed off to the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. Ali didn't rush us at all, explaining everything of interest before being respectful and giving us however much time we wanted for ourselves for photos and private exploration. It was great to have a private driver and private guide amidst all the chaos with other large tour groups. Allowed us to move quick and easily around the city. As with any tour, we stopped at a souvenir shop. Really had no complaints as we found it interesting and a tangent to the history learned at the sites. Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend this tour to anyone planning on visiting Luxor. We were only here for 3 days, but this tour alone really had us feeling satisfied with our time here. Thank you Ali and thank you Luxor Travels for an amazing experience.

If I can describe with one single word my experience with Mansour, I will describe it as EXCELLENT he is extremely knowledgeable in Egyptian History and Language. He has a complete understanding and knowledge of every historical site that we visited. He took the time to explain to us everything so we had a clear understanding of what we were looking at. He is truly an Egyptian historian. Thank you so much for a very informative tour. The Driver Ramadan was very professional and courteous. Thank you very much. And finally the Ballon Ride .. it was AWESOME. The ballon captain Osama was great !! This is a must do ride, it was incredible experience overlooking the Valley of the Kings. Thank you. Highly recommended Tour Operator

Great day in Luxor. Hassan was fantastic as a guide and adapted to our plans. Very knowledgeable and proud of his city. He was on time and planned our day really well. We would very highly recommend.

The balloon portion of this trip was disappointing- we took off after sunset as they were monitoring the winds. We also drifted East so did not go over any historical sites, just farmland. The second portion of the trip with our guide Khalid totally made up for it though! With advanced degrees in Egyptology and hieroglyphics he explained so much from the many essential Luxor sites and was so helpful and accommodating. He took some great photos for us (knows all the fun angles). I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide any time!!

Had a fantastic day with Ragab which included a wonderful balloon flight at sunrise then a tour of the important sites of Luxor . He gently introduced us to the various topics without giving us a lecture. We were entertained for the whole day absorbing information without realising it. He has a great understanding of the ancient Egyptians, instantly answering any question we threw at him but keeping things on a light note. It was one of the best tours we’ve been on.

Rajab is the best tour guide to do any tour with he is friendly, informative, easy going with a great sense of humour and we sad when the day ended. The hot air balloon trip is an absolute must when in Luxor, it was quite simply breathtaking the Valley of the Kings, Luxor and Karnak Temples were simply outstanding a return to Luxor is definitely on the cards and I will definitely be contacting Rajab on any further tours of this beautiful area

The sunrise hot air balloon ride with the King Tut Balloons company was phenomenal. Our guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable, courteous and funny! Definitely recommend this company if you are interested in a hot air balloon ride to get a good view of the West Bank of Luxor or if it is first experience riding one. After the hot air balloon ride we met up with our guide and Egyptologist Ragab who gave us an excellent tour of the East and West Bank in Luxor. He was very knowledgeable, answered any question we had and is also a great photographer/knows the good places to get pictures. I would definitely recommend Ragab and this tour if you are wanting to experience Luxor and its history, which was perfect for us since we were in town for a short amount of time.
