A must do experience in Luxor. I recommend the sunrise option, pick up from hotel and transfer to launch site all went very smoothly. Tea/coffee/refreshments provided. plenty time in the air to take in the most incredible views over the desert and valley of the kings. Smooth landing. it all felt very safe and I highly recommend!!

The Hot Air balloon experience was truly one for the books. The entire team from ground up until we took flight and landed we're very helpful, professional and extremely experienced. On the day we were to go on the hot air balloon, due to unpleasant weather conditions it was cancelled, but the entire team of klook, Stephanie from the customer support and local operator made it possible for us to reschedule our experience and go for it the next day and truly was one of the best experiences ever. Truly a cherish worthy memory.

Pickup from the hotel was on time, followed by a peaceful boat ride across the Nile to the West Bank with tea served onboard. The hot air balloon ride itself was incredible, watching the sunrise over Luxor was truly magical. The guide, captain, and crew were all professional and made the whole experience feel safe and memorable. Highly recommended!

Pick up from the hotel was on time and drop us back after. The experience itself was great. Safety was their utmost priority. Instructions were clearly provided. It lifted just right after sunrise and the views of the valley and the village were incredible up above.

Great 4.0

I enjoyed the West Bank tour. Ayman, our guide, was quite the talker and his jokes were hilarious. However, regarding the hot air balloon tour, it felt like I was put at the back of the line, possibly because I'm Asian. People who arrived later flew before me. The view was great, but that aspect was disappointing.

We had a wonderful experience! They picked us up by car at 5 AM, and we transferred at the Luxor train station square to join other tour participants in a shared ride to the balloon launch site. The sunrise around 6:50 AM in late October was stunning. Our family participated and had a truly valuable experience. The platform was stable, so it wasn't scary at all. Tipping wasn't forced, so we didn't feel pressured. However, it's definitely worth tipping!!
