Terrible because we were not picked up so did not get to go on this experience! We waited in our hotel reception, the pick up point from 3am to 4.30am and no one came to collect us! The stated time for pick up was 3.30am but we did not receive confirmation! I tried to contact the tour operator and left an email the previous day. The phone no. given for customer questions was not an Egyptian one. I had given our hotel phone no. for our contact if not being informed by email which I could be reached!

Itinerary
Your stay in Luxor would not quite be the same without a bird’s eye view of the city from a hot air balloons. After convenient, pre-dawn pickup from your Luxor hotel or cruise ship, cross the River Nile to the West Bank – where your hot air balloon awaits. After a safety briefing and introduction to your ground crew and pilot, you will climb into the balloon's basket and get ready for lift off. Then it’s time for takeoff. Away from the daytime crowds, you will drift peacefully over the west Bank of Luxor and sights such as the monuments of Thebes. As the early morning sun rises over the East Bank, the city and the surrounding mountains will be illuminated in stunning golden hues. Your expert guide will also regale you with insights on history as you take in landmarks such as Queen Hatshepsut's Temple and Karnak, among other important structures. After landing, you will be transported back to your hotel, enriched with the beauty of Egypt from the most enchanting perspective.

Worst company ever. They scammed my money. An keep lying about refund. I’ve reached out many times a they keep making exscuses. Then finally for my 320 dollar ticket they refunded me 1.20$ just to add salt to the wound.
The balloon flight was amazing! The views were incredible and all the staff was so kind with me and my 8 friends. They picked up us at the boat in the morning and offered us a little breakfast, then we take a faluca and arrived to the balloon station. The day was incredible and we enjoyed every minute 🥰. We recommend absolutely this experience, a must if you are in Luxor… the ancient temple views are unforgettable. Thank you to all the staff and team!!
Pickup was spot on. Pilot was outstanding and the flight amazing. The crew was very hard working all.
WORTH THE PRICE! The pickup was smooth. I think we were the first one who got collected as a group and waited in a que for others. At the beginning we taught that we will miss the sunrise, but we got in time to the balloon. We got in time up in the air and the view from up was really stunning. Thank you!!
It was a marvellous experience for me, the price was great, the duration of the balloon in the air was great, as long as the management does not change, this company is number one.
The trip was nice and worth the money. But before take off we had to wait quite a long tome, so be ready for thet. Also we did not received the promised water but had some tea before.
It was a well organized adventure with friendly guides and very kind staff! The communication with the team is efficient. The logistics arranged precisely! Excellent choice for an activity in Luxor.
We were on the sunrise-ride, and it was amazing! All well organized, from the hotel-lobby until the drop-off after the ride. Beautiful view and good crew. Fam did a great job and we always felt very safe. I would do that again, definitely. One of the highlights of our Egypt-trip!
The trip was amazing. We have taken great photos of all historical sights of Luxor from above. The organisation was swift and smooth
I used Cheap Trips services in Luxor for a Hot Air Balloon activity and it was the highlight of my visit. The pick up driver was super on time and they made me feel safe at all time. I highly recommend them :)
The Hot Ballon was amazing and fun Everything was great especially Fam was very supportive and helpful and take care of everything 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing tour with fantastics views! The team was good organised and the captain - Anter - made us feel safe on board of the balloon. Special thanks goes also to Fam.
We are recomending this tour 100%. It was a splended tour. The trip organaiser wanted to know how it was going all the way.
Good pre-trip communication. On-time pickup from hotel. Safety briefing en-route. Exciting pre-dawn launch and fabulous views over Luxor west bank. Highly recommend.
it was very attractive the sunrise was very adorable and the ride was very great it took us around 1 hour and the view of the temples from the top was very fantastic i strongly recommend doing this ride
Excellent trip we had a magical experience. We were collected from our West Bank hotel promptly and after a short wait taken to the launch site. The pilot briefed us well and we had an amazing sunrise trip
Don’t book this tour. I paid for it, and the guide never came to pick me up. I requested a refund and still haven’t received a response or my money back after 3 days. Still waiting
this was very amazing thanks to my friend it was superb also he recommended me this company to deal with as their service was very perfect, and they provide this tour with the best price, very strongly recommend
The driver was at the hotel on time. The flight is really great. We do not feel the takeoff and the landing was smooth. The panorama is exceptional with a view of the sunrise and the various historical sites of Luxor. Change of scenery guaranteed!
our trip starts with the tour leader he picked us with a minivan then we catch the motorboat I enjoyed the weather it was very great and then we fly up with the professional captain he was very great and the view was breathtaking highly recommend
It was a very wonderful trip! I booked this trip after reading about comments saying that it is a great adventure and it was really a magical adventure. They picked me up on time and I had a wonderful sunrise in the morning. It was a smooth trip and a great adventure. Definitely I recommend this trip
It was a sweet sunrise experience we booked from Shiba Tours and I love thanking Merna for helping us get a reservation a few hours before the trip
Nice con! We treat tourists like cattle. We had booked months in advance for a flight with sunrise We took off at 6:45 when the sunrise is at 6:20 - we were the last balloon And as we took off late there was no wind and we didn't even get past the Valley of the Kings... Our dream was ruined The attitude of the organizers was abhorrent Business to flee We are money pumps
Impresionante experiencia. Disfrute desde ver cómo inflaban los globos hasta el final Totalmente recomendado. Y a un muy buen precio!
Spain: Balearic Islands Tour of the islands of Ibiza (Fziachour), Menorca and Formentera (By) Majorca Island (2024). The 10 most beautiful islands in Spain
It has been an amazing experience! Unmatched. We really wanted to do the Valley of the Kings in a balloon, but it far exceeded our expectations
Super good organization. They pick you up wherever you ask them to, in our case on the cruise. And we left in the balloon at dawn. The views of Luxor are super beautiful. We recommend it 100%
Fantastic! Excellent price and organization. It's a spectacle to see them all inflate the hot air balloons together, competing to see who can fly first. The dawn flight is highly recommended.
The balloon ride was great. Our organizer Fam did everything to our satisfaction. Pick-up on time, escort to the balloon and pick-up after landing. The balloon ride itself is recommended to anyone who wants to experience the sunrise on the Nile with a view of 3000 years of history.
We took this balloon trip with this company. Everything was perfect, they contacted us before our arrival to coordinate everything. They met our expectations 1000%. We will surely repeat and I recommend them 100%. Thanks a lot !!!
Excellent service. They picked us up at the hotel at the agreed time, the experience is magical, the attention was incredible, they gave us a coffee and a sweet on the way. They behaved top. I recommend them 100
Excellent trip, very good pilots, incredible view. I didn't speak English and fam coordinated everything on Wasap in Spanish until they went to pick me up at the hotel.
We ordered with guide in Spanish and the guide was in English, we claimed and we were told "sorry". The tour offers you a bottle of water and we never got it. And most importantly, we had a reservation with this operator for that day and the night a few hours from the tour cancelled us, I had to go out to look for another excursion and I happened to find place with them but at a much more expensive price, they abuse the little time the tourist has to do things.
