Best of Luxor in 2 Days Hotel,Tours,Felucca,Camel&Balloon by Plane from Cairo

Posted By : Claudia_L
The sights are beautiful and worth seeing; the hot air balloon ride was one of my favourite experiences of the holiday.

However, the price is far too high for what is on offer. The first day ends at midday (the fact that there is a light show in the evening was forgotten - after I proved it, I was driven there, but had to pay the costs myself), the second day basically only starts at midday (the hot air balloon ride in the morning is with a completely different provider; afterwards you have to check out and wait restlessly in the lobby for at least an hour). The entrance fees are not included and even when I asked in advance I didn't find out how much they would be. I needed about 150USD extra (just to do what is listed in the plan). If you take a private driver instead and follow the plan exactly, you get the same experience, more flexibility and costs of only about 1/3.

I would also like to point out that you have to expect a certain amount of everyday sexism (each of the people involved pointed out to me that I was a beautiful woman and would make a good wife) and that there is a certain amount of chaos here and there, so you always have to keep an eye on what is on the plan yourself.

If you want to experience Luxor at its best…. You need to book this tour. But wait … not just with anybody … if you decide to do it ask for Hatem and Mido. Those two will make your experience in Luxor one of the best moments in Egypt. Hatem is very knowledgeable and patient. He will give you enough information and background so you understand the history behind the temples and places you visit. He made our 18th year anniversary memorable and special!!
If you book this .. ask for Hatem!!

What an amazing couple of days, so much packed into the two days, our guide Hatem was excellent, very knowledgable & informative and despite having visited the sites of Luxor a couple of times previously, thanks to Hatem I learnt so many new details. The ballon flight was fabulous, the felluca trip was very entertaining thanks to the captain, our driver in Luxor was also brilliant and it was amazing how much we did in two days. Also the two lunches we had were delicious, Highly recommended and particularly to those who want to see as much as possible in a short time. Also the support in advance and throughout from our contact (Salwa) was superb.
Thank you to all for making a such a perfect and memorable experience ⭐️ ❤️

I want to say both my drivers in Cairo and in Luxor (Mido) were wonderful. I felt safe with them.
My guide Hatem was experienced and knowledgeable about every place we visited. I highly recommend him to everyone taking this tour. If you truly want to walk away knowing more about this area and it’s history ask for him.
The balloon ride was amazing as well as the boat ride and food. My accommodations were very nice and comfortable.
The only thing that could have been different was to have both plane rides by same carrier. Other than that perfect. Thank you for the memories.

Luxor was a wonderful experience thanks to our tour guide Hatem! He was knowledgeable, considerate and so very thoughtful. Every step of the way was so well planned out. Seeing Luxor through his eyes was a beautiful experience and I highly recommend requesting Hatem as your tour guide no matter what agency you sign up with. He is very passionate about his work and it made our experience all the better.

Our hot air balloon ride was coordinated by star balloons in Luxor and their team is simply the most considerate, efficient and well organized group I’ve ever met. The experience was very safe and I felt very taken care of. They timed it so we could watch the sunset in the sky. Amazing experience!

Selim was our driver for transport to and from Cairo airport. On the way back our flight was delayed and we only reached Cairo at 1am. We thought we would have to call an Uber but no, he was waiting for us in the other side. Wow!!

Spent a wonderful day with Mohammed el Khady. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we were having a good time and enjoying our experience. Our second day was with Hatem and he also was wonderful, super knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. I highly recommend this tour and Mohammed and Hatem.

This was an amazing two days. Day one was with Mohamed. We toured Luxor Temple and Temple of Hatshepsut. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Fabulous day. Our second day was a hot air balloon ride, Valley of the Kings, felucca ride, Banana Island, etc. Our guide on the second day was Hatem. He was also incredible. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best possible trip ever. He even arranged a private boat ride for us to Banana Island when he noticed my boyfriend and I were really trying to have a romantic vacation. This little extra time to ourselves was incredibly memorable. Mohamed and Hatem were two of the best tour guides I have ever had!

Mona was wonderful, she is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. She had such a good attitude and was very concerned with us having a good time. We loved the entire experience. Our driver Ahmed was also very lovely he made us feel safe when we were driving. The temples are amazing and the hot air Ballon is one of the best experiences ever. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

It was an extraordinary experience I’d recommend to anyone visiting Egypt.
My best&most reliable contacts I’d be thankful to are Hatem ( my tour guide ) & Mido ( my driver ). They went beyond their roles to help solve a big miss understanding that would have left a bad taste to me about the trip but thanks to them, everything was solved on time and in a proper hospitality way.
I will always remember them, their kindness & honesty.
Thank you, Hatem in primis & Mido!
The Baloon trip was breathtaking and the landing was so smooth we never even realised that was it!
The temples & Valley of the Kings are impressive, everything is kept accurate & clean!
As a solo woman traveller, I’ve found Egypt overall and especially, this trip package to Luxor to be a very safe & beautiful place on Earth!
Thank you, tour guides to have organised it perfectly!
