I was so grateful for the guide's efforts to explain everything to me, even though I don't speak English well. I really appreciate you making me feel comfortable. I hope to have this opportunity again with my friends next time.

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.

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!!

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.

Not for people who want to sleep in. I needed to be ready in hotel lobby by 4:35 a.m. Not complaining, just informing. The ride and views were spectacular. The staff were polite and professional. Overall a worthwhile excursion

The tour was great. It was very organized. Mr. Ayman our tour guide is very good and nice, a good photographer too. The lunch was good too. We have a good driver too Mr. Haysam. In some cases like mine, I book this tour as a group but it turns to be a private tour😊
