Solo sunrise traveled - It was a fantastic experience and definitely worth the price. I felt very safe as a solid traveler and taken care of. The guide was wonderful and gave great information. It was a long day so make sure to rest before you go!

The best tour I booked in Egypt - Very well organized. It was the best tour we did in Egypt. On time and they guaranteed we were in the air for sunrise (only three or four balloons were able to do so). The view over the valley of the kings was breathtaking! The balloon pilot was super mindful of who was a bit afraid of heights and always explaining what he was doing and what we were seeing. On our way back, we took a feluca back to the East bank which was nice and included in the price! They also offer the option to get photos ans video for an additional USD 10. To mention as well that our trip was cancelled due to safety conditions. They offered the trip for the next day, a full refund or a voucher. Super profissional. Will recommend!!

Great Experience - The hot air balloon ride was offered as an extra tour on our Viking Cruise and it was well worth the money. We woke up at 3:30 a.m. to get ready, took a small boat across The Nile (which was very cool), loaded into passenger vans and drove to the launch site. It was still dark when we loaded into hot air balloons which can hold about 20-25 people each. This is obviously a popular tour because there must have been 20 balloons in the air that morning, which makes for a great photo. We sailed over the Valley of the Kings and we could see The Nile in the background. We must have taken 200 pictures each. We were only in the air for about 30-40 minutes and we were back on the ship in time for breakfast.

Ride wonderful, organization needs improvement. - The ride itself was wonderful, but it was very chaotic before and after the ride. One was taken from the hotel to the departure point. Once there, the many cars were divided into small groups, so nobody really knew where to go, who to belong to or who to listen to. The same concept was used again after the flight itself. We didn't notice anything about the cake and the drinks we mentioned ourselves.

ARMED ROBBERY - The experience was dire. To begin with, they came to pick us up at the hotel late. The activity should have started at 5:30 and we arrived at the site at 6:10 in the morning. All the hot air balloons of the other companies were active, while we were separated from our group and waited about an hour, so we could visualize how others rode in the activity and not us, the only thing that was told was that we would not have activity after waiting more than an hour, we tried to talk to those responsible and they gave excuses and on top of that they were angry for demanding explanations and money. I attach that the sky was clear , there was no wind and we watched as several balloons from other companies took off when we traveled by van for our hotel , we left with anger and disgust at not being able to enjoy an experience which WE HAVE PAID for !! We expect our money and an apology from those responsible, given that we felt badly about their treatment.
