We had to wait an hour for the boat crossing and then we’re the last balloon to take off. The flight though was incredible.

Super great organisation, amazing flight, nothing to say, it was a 10/10! Thanks to Mohamed, great pilot that was willing to share a lot with us.

We had an amazing experience with this hot air balloon team in Luxor! They were incredibly kind and professional from start to finish. Our flight was delayed at the last minute, and they kindly made a gesture to reschedule our balloon session so we wouldn’t miss it, something we truly appreciated. The ride itself was breathtaking, with stunning views over the temples and the Nile. Everything was perfectly organized and felt very safe. Highly recommend this wonderful team for an unforgettable experience in Luxor

Everything was good organised. Pick up on time in the morning, comfortable van for the transportation and the hot air balloon ride was amazing. I definitely recommend it!

Great, you need to be patient because it could take longer than your think waiting for the balloon to be ready and take off

Wow, what can I say from the very beginning everything went well. We were picked up at 5:30 at reception but a very nice welcoming guide unfortunately cannot remember his name. We took a coach to the marina and a boat across the Nile which was beautiful watching the balloons from a distance was truly magical when we arrived we chose to have our Experience filmed by Mohammed and his crew. They made us feel very comfortable everybody is really friendly. I’m very helpful. Balloon experience itself was truly amazing with breathtaking views of Egypt. I would highly recommend this trip. Not only is it great value for money it’s an experience she will remember forever. Thank you so much to everybody that made it happen. Leanne & Laura xx

The experience was fantastic the views were stunning and the pilot very informative in pointing out the landmarks and temples and monuments of the area. The only downside was we felt a little crowded in our section of the basket. 4 people would have been better instead of the balloon operator squeezing another person in there. This should not reflect badly on Nice Tours as this was outside of their control. Pick up from our Hotel was perfect, a boat ride over to the West Bank and transport to the balloon take off area was seamless. All transfers were smooth. Great value for money and an unforgettable experience.
