“Well, it was pretty flawless. I guess one thing to take seriously is that it IS cold in the morning! We were very happy that we heeded the warning and dressed in layers. AND… it gets hot as the sun comes up so you start breaking out the sunscreen, peeling off the layers and wearing the big hats by 10 am. But it was an amazing day!”

“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.”

We definitely appreciated the pickup and drop-off right from our hotel and keeping the same vehicle the duration of the tour so we could keep our backpack in the van during activities. Our balloon pilot was very professional and very experienced. He gave us so much more history and information than we expected. The English skills of our guides and the balloon pilot were excellent. All events kept our 10- and 16-year-old sins engaged throughout the day. We would definitely recommend…”
