5.00It was wonderful! I was caught at the right time and I was able to take the balloon ride in the first hour to not be late for the next tour.
It was an amazing experience!

5.00Our private sunrise hot air balloon experience in Luxor was one of the highlights of our Egypt trip. Everything was smooth from start to finish, including the hotel pickup and transfer to the launch site. The staff was professional, organized, and made the entire experience feel safe and relaxed. Watching the sunrise over Luxor from a private balloon was incredible. Seeing the Nile, temples, and countryside from above in the early morning light was unforgettable. Having a private basket made it feel much more exclusive and peaceful compared to the larger group balloons nearby. The pilot was experienced and professional, and the flight itself lasted around 45 minutes with amazing views the entire time. The landing was smooth, and the overall experience felt very well run. If you’re visiting Luxor and want something truly memorable, I would absolutely recommend doing the VIP private balloon ride. It was worth it for the experience, privacy, and views alone.
Great ballon trip over Luxor

5.00Everything was great. Picked up by guide Islam who explained everything perfectly helped everyone get to balloon and back to the proper van when we finished. The balloon ride was beautiful, the pilot pointed out landmarks from the air and turned the balloon around so everyone could see the different features. The landing was as smooth as could be. Overall great trip!

5.00Great guide and very well organized. We were picked up on time and after picking up some more guests from nearby hotels we went straight to the ferry and then to a waiting car and then straight to the balloon site. The flying was fantastic and very friendly pilot. A great experience!
Must try Luxor !!

5.00Pick 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 Ali 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.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

5.00The activity went very well! The day before we had a whatsapp message the day before to organize the pickup. It is a special organization but extremely well-honed! Then we were on the takeoff site followed by a flight of about 40 min The return is also well organized we were dropped off at our hotel!
Don't hesitate to use Egypt Getaway Tours, an excellent tour company.

5.00Our trip to Egypt with Egypt Getaway Tours was truly unforgettable. Traveling as a group of family and friends, everything was perfectly organised — between Cairo,Luxor and Aswan . What made the experience special was how easy and comfortable they made everything feel. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, the transport was always on time, and the team was quick to help with any request. We didn’t just see Egypt — we felt it. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a smooth, memorable, and meaningful trip. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

5.00Me and my friends had an amazing time during our tour. Mohammed was our guide. While he drove us to the hot air balloons, he drove very safely and his car was nice and clean. This is an experience you can’t miss 100%!! I’ll definitely book with Mohammed again in the future and recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor.
