They haven't picked us up, we lost the day to them
They haven't shown up to pick us up, they haven't contacted us. We've lost activity trusting Viator
Response from the operator: Hello, We’re truly sorry to hear about what happened. We always confirm the pickup time and location with all our guests before the activity, so there might have been a misunderstanding or an issue with the contact details. Please share your booking information with us so we can review what happened and offer you a proper solution. Our goal is always to ensure that every guest fully enjoys the hot air balloon experience. Kind regards

The temple is great, it's shocking, and the balloons are beautiful.
Temples and balloons were shocking, went to several temples and tombs, balloons and a little episode, the night before the booking balloon suddenly said cancelled, to add 10 knife to it, I contacted customer service after it, it was not easy. There's a lot of local tipping culture. Ask whatever you want. It's hard to tell if it's true.
Response from the operator: 非常感谢您分享您的体验。我们很高兴听到您觉得神庙和热气球之旅令人震撼,也感谢您选择与我们一起探索卢克索。 关于热气球的时间调整,请理解航班安排有时需要根据天气和安全情况进行变动。任何升级或更早的航班都是可选的,我们很遗憾如果沟通中让您感到不便。 至于当地的小费文化,我们理解这对部分游客来说可能会有些困惑。我们会继续提醒合作伙伴保持专业和透明,以便为客人提供更舒适的体验。 再次感谢您的宝贵意见,这将帮助我们不断改进服务。希望未来还能再次欢迎您,带来更加顺畅和难忘的旅行。

Experience of Medium Medium
This is not a watch "sunrise" journey, the actual time of rising is already after sunrise. The staff is polite, the driver is enthusiastic and fun, and it is always a good trip.

Hot balloon experience
We had a great experience and the best time of my life. We felt safe and comfortable. Hossam picked us up from the hotel on time and stayed with us the whole trip going the extra mile for the whole group. We can’t thank him enough for the hospitality and company. Would definitely book through them again.

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding in Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding in Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding in Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 0.7 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding in Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 9 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding in Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding in Luxor?
+
Around 3 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 0.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding 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.
What is included in Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ridding in Luxor?
