Pick up time was communicated in advance. For hot air balloon, we had a lot of air time which made for a memorable early morning. Our guide Sayed Salim was knowledgeable, friendly and set up a full day of tours well. He provided interesting descriptions of each site and allowed for sufficient free time for us to explore and enjoy the sites. We ended our day at an authentic Egyptian restaurant which was a great experience. Excellent tour and value for money.

We started the day very early with a ride to the hot air balloon launch site. The balloon ride over Luxor and its ancient monuments was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting—it’s truly a must-do activity. Afterwards, we visited the Colossi of Memnon, where we heard a short story about their history and had some free time. From there, we continued to the impressive Hatshepsut Temple, which was a highlight of the morning. Next, we explored the Valley of the Kings. The ticket includes entry to three tombs, but we also added a visit to the tomb of King Tutankhamun. Although small, it was very special to see. The day continued with visits to Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, both of which were absolutely fascinating. While all of these sites are incredible, I would personally recommend splitting them over two days. Doing everything in one day felt overwhelming, especially with the intense August heat. That said, our guide was excellent eather way.

The tour experience was great. Tour guide Bagdady was very responsible and introduced a lot of knowledge that we didn't know before. If you have time, be sure to come and participate.
