10/10 experience, highly recommend if you have time in Luxor. No regrets whatsoever
Published on Nov, 2024
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.
Excellent Tour Guide Egyptologist Mansour
Published on Nov, 2024
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.

Sunrise balloon flight and a great tour
Published on Jan, 2024
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.
Simply the best day
Published on Jan, 2024
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
