Traveler reviews
1 verified traveler reviews for Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
A fantastic trip to The Valley of the Kings, but marred by the irritations of the organised items.
The reason I have copied this review onto here, is that GetYourGuide have buried it underneath lots of 5 star reviews, and my message is therefore unlikely to be seen. The issue with all of the trips is that they are sub-contracted and then re sub-contrtacted. The Valley of the Kings is fantastic, and is a must see. The worst aspects of this trip were the balloon trip, Felucca trip and the food. The balloon trip was cancelled - which wasn't a problem because of poor weather for launching, but the reimbursement process for cancellation was. I was offered 20USD per person as a refund. This implies that this was the cost! Clearly this wasn't accepted. Find out before you pay - "what happens if it's cancelled - what is the refund against the cost paid. - and what is the cost paid" The Felluca ttrip was 35 minutes long and was just a trip into the middle of the Nile whilst the sun went down. Find out "how long the trip is in terms of time." Food. We were taken to a restaurant for lunch. This was fine, overlooking the Nile. We then returned 4 hours later to have dinner; which was in the same restaurant, having the exact same set meal - this was not fine. The hotel was good. Again, ask which hotel hou are going to before you pay: not just "a hotel." The trip to the Valley was wonderful. The auxilliary elements werre extremely irritating.

Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
