“We really enjoyed the balloon experience as this was a first for both of us. Back to earth in a field, which was ok. Worthwhile the early rise. Breakfast in the cave was ok. Visit to the pyramids was ok. If I'm honest the experience was padded out a bit with visits to gift areas etc., which i get but took too long. Be prepared for a long trip - approx. 8 hrs in length. from start to finish.”
