    Disappointed

    First disappointment the balloon ride was not available but was not informed until the last minute no refund provided secondly the guide was charging us extra for everything one meal which is supposed to be not more than 2$ was told for 25$ dish koshari which which was supposed to be not more than 2ti 5$ was quoted 10$ and surprisingly the guide told us no menu card available so that we don’t see the price of dishes. No felluca ride was provided so totally the feeling of disappointment would request Viator pls identify and validate the activities before taking a booking so much of inconvenience we went to Laksar only for the balloon ride Totally Disappointed will never use this app again

    Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca cost?

    +

    Prices start at $179 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 Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca 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 Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (1/5 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 Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset 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 Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca 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 Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca?

    +

    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 Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset 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 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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 Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca?

    +

    Included: Luxor Full Day tour East bank & west bank; Hot Air Balloon, in the sky of Luxor; Pick up Service from your hotel & return; Flight certificate; and Guide. Not included: Tipping; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Is Private Full-Day Tour with Balloon and Sunset Felucca wheelchair or stroller accessible?
