    Great Tour Guide, But Poor Organization

    Let me write a short review for one of my Egypt tour guides. So, I visited tour to Edful and Qom. And if you are that person who likes adventure, then you would like this. Otherwise, pretty sure you won't. I got picked up last minute, super earlier than I was expected. But the person did tell me that that was going to happen.So the person who picked me up was a 19-year-old, super reckless driver. I mean, he's a 19-year-old. Um, didn't understand what I was saying or asking because he didn't speak English. He only took me to very expensive, um, places. And the whole thing was a scam. Except the tour to the temple. So once we got to the temple, I met the tour for that temple. Especially the tour, the best tour that I've ever had in the whole trip with Mahmood

    Glorious Sunrise Ballon Ride

    Beautiful sunrise balloon ride. We experienced the inflating of the balloon and then the 45 minute ride and then the deflating of the balloon and disembarking the basket. The view was beyond spectacular with both high an low altitudes. The crew was fun with singing and drums as we took flight. The initial communication was delayed which caused a 1 hour wait. The car was NOT luxury as mentioned in the advertisement.

    Fully customizable day at Luxor

    Mo is a very knowledgeable tour guide (PhD Egyptologist) and takes great photos. He even let me use his phone when my phone's battery died, which I appreciated. I would not have been able to see as much on my tight schedule without booking the tour. Our driver was great. My balloon ride was cancelled within 24 hours due to strong wind - if this happens the ride is only $40 so instead of asking for refund would recommend asking to substitute other experiences such as Valley of Queens/Medinet Habu. For VoQ be sure to add on Queen Nefertari tomb if budget allows ($60) as its value is priceless with its stunning colors. King Tut tomb add-on also worth it. I wish we had skipped the tout shops (would advise skipping perfume shop) and regret not spending that time at Hatshepsut. I agreed to just looking at Hatshepsut temple exterior but it is difficult to see any detail from the outside because the security barriers prevent you from coming close. The felucca ride is also weather dependent - my sailboat experienced no wind and was at standstill. Nonetheless, it was a nice way to end the evening as the captain let the sail down for a nice sunset photo op while I dipped toes in the Nile. The workaround was a motorboat that tugged us back to shore. The tour allows full customization by charging an additional $25/site -- for example, Ramesseum, Carter House, Temple of Seti I, Valley of Nobles. The add-ons added up and felt a little pricey since many of these sites are within minutes of each other and admission fees are not included. Lunch charge of $25 also pricey given local lunch prices (200-300 Egyptian pounds) although the food at Paris restaurant was delicious and served in tagines. Overall, I would choose to do the tour again because I appreciated the deep knowledge of Dr Mo as a university teacher; I liked the nuances he was able to share about each site. I was also extremely short on time (in Luxor for 1.5 days) so the tour's a la carte nature met my needs. Things that could be improved would be the tour agency shifting from business mindset to aiming to provide the best value for consumer. Dr Mo checked in with me several times during the trip to make sure I was having a good time and made adjustments; I believe he is responsive to feedback and strives to improve, which I appreciate.

    not our favorite tour company

    We did a lot of different day tours with different companies during our time in Egypt and this was probably our least favorite for a number of specific reasons. First, the pickup was about 45 minutes late, and we missed the sunrise for the hot air balloon ride, we were waiting and wandering back and forth from our hotel room to the lobby to see if we could find our ride, and I was not able to reach anyone to help guide me. Later we were picked up by a guide who did a nice job but did seemed rushed and tried to get us to skip one of the temples, as well as to move the boat ride to lunch time to shorten the day. Also we were forced to eat lunch from a restaurant that we didn't pick and it was very expensive and not the best. Given how much we paid for the tour, I didn't like the feeling that we were being an inconvenience when asking to see the temples that were slated as part of the tour. We wouldn't recommend this tour as there are others that are probably better value and have better customer service/care.

    Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer, Thank you for comment, sorry for the misunderstanding we went to pick you up on time but you was waiting at your room. Any way we apologize about what happened with you. we are looking to improve our service that is why your comment very important for us. Best regards Dr Mo Tours

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does One Day Sunrise Balloon, Sunset Felucca ride, Luxor full-day tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 One Day Sunrise Balloon, Sunset Felucca ride, Luxor full-day tour take?

    +

    Is One Day Sunrise Balloon, Sunset Felucca ride, Luxor full-day tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 67 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 One Day Sunrise Balloon, Sunset Felucca ride, Luxor full-day tour?

    +

    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 One Day Sunrise Balloon, Sunset Felucca ride, Luxor full-day tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    How far in advance should I book One Day Sunrise Balloon, Sunset Felucca ride, Luxor full-day tour?

    +

    Around 23 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does One Day Sunrise Balloon, Sunset Felucca ride, Luxor full-day tour start and how do I get there?

    +

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?

    +
