I’m so happy I booked this tour it was an easy way to see all Luxor has in one day. I wanted a trip that covered all the best places to go in one day and I got it. Our guide Salma was excellent, really knowledgeable and good at her job. She made the experience fun and enjoyable I really recommend her. It was good to have a guide and insight so you know what you’re looking at. I went with my mum on my birthday and Egypt and Luxor is truly amazing and did not disappoint. Merna communicated with us about the tour on WhatsApp’s which was really nice to get an idea of the day and times.

I had a great day at the Pyramids. I visited Memphis, Saqqara and the Giza Plateau. The organization of tour was very good and Esraa, the same guide I already met in another tour, confirmed to be very nice and professional. She's very passionate about her job and explained to me all the details of the Egyptian history with a contagious enthusiasm. The driver was very nice too and contributed to make me spend a good day. I highly recommend this tour experience.

The balloon trip was great in one word. The communication was excellent. Given the weather forecast (little to no wind) we were informed the evening before the trip about what could possibly happen. In case of cancellation the money would be refunded. Fortunately everything went through and we enjoyed the view. This is a real recommendation. #Marolla
