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.
