The tour guide, Hassan,...
The tour guide, Hassan, was excellent. Very informative without it being an information overload and a good sense of humous. Only negative comment was that lunch and dinner on day one were very average with drinks completely overpriced for the tourist. A fantastic overall experience visiting Luxor, bring plenty of small notes as everyone from security guards to the men checking your entrance tickets is after a tip!

Probably the best All In Package you can do if you have time to overnight in Luxor.
This package is the real deal. It includes so many activities. The price was very very reasonable. We had a private transfers and dedicated driver, 4hrs each way from Hurgharda then between all activities, private tour of all 4 of Luxor's major sites over 2 days. Our guide had a real passion for his subject and impartet an unbelievable amount of knowledge as we walked each archaeological or historical site. There were no queues at any site. Golf buggies take you to base camp at the Valley sites, a nice and welcome breeze! Take plenty of water, repellent and sun protection. Be aware, the mozzies are pretty aggressive! Overnight accommodation, all food for both days, a private falluca ride on the Nile in the evening and an incredible balloon flight over the Valley of the Kings at dawn. You will need water and entrance fees only on this trip... including local currency for the toilets! If you tip everywhere it is hugely appreciated. You generally get what you pay for in life, obviously! I would 100% do this exact same trip again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend it high enough. Very well constructed trip with a nonstop itinerary... bring decent walking shoes! Enjoy!

Great experience! Memorable! Great Fathy as a guide!
The experience with my guide Fathy was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better one! The whole experience from the hot balloon over the valley of the kings in Luxor to visiting the different temples and tombs and the Nile feluca ride made my day memorable! Fathy was always there with me and he’s an expert in Egyptian history and culture and taught me so much and answered to all my questions during the day! He could even speak some Italian which made it even nicer! Highly recommend booking him as a guide for this tour in Luxor!

Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca cost?
+
Prices start at $220 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 373 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca?
+
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 Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca?
+
Around 131 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hurghada: Over Day Tour to Luxor & Balloon Ride & Felucca 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
