Traveler reviews
1 verified traveler reviews for Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
The tour is good, but the guides themselves may change their satisfaction.
It is very convenient as you can tour the highlights of both the east and west coasts of Luxor at once, and board a hot air balloon in the morning. The tour itself was good, but the fact that the guide takes you to souvenir shops wherever you go, it took a bit longer than you might expect, deducts a few points. We probably finished the tour about two hours early.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your 4-star review and for sharing your experience. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed visiting both the East and West Banks of Luxor and that the hot air balloon ride added to your experience. Our goal is always to help guests make the most of their time and discover the highlights of Luxor in a convenient way. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the duration of the tour. We understand that some guests prefer to spend more time at the historical sites and less time at shopping stops. Your comments are valuable and will help us continue improving our tours and guest experience. Thank you for choosing Egypt VIP Tours. We hope to welcome you back to Egypt again in the future. Warm regards, Egypt VIP Tours

Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $61 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 Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 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 Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure?
+
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 Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure 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.
What is included in Luxor: Guided Full-Day Tour with a 45-Minute Balloon Adventure?

Not included: Tipping; Entrance fees (Optional); and Guide (Optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
