Review of the $270 Hurghada to Luxor tour with a hot-air balloon, temples, Valley of the Kings, felucca ride, hotel, meals, and guide.

“We really loved our experience. Our driver was the best driver in egypt! The first driver to not drive like a psycho and was given the best hospitality. We loved him. The way everything was planned out was great. We really didn't want a tour guide because we like to see things we want to see but we ended up still having a tour guide, he was good the first day then a complete different person the second day so it was strange to us. He was very informative but we didn't like how we were always taken to a place where they wanted to make us buy an overpriced…”

“Our adventure began right on time with a convenient pick-up from our hotel. We were comfortably seated in a van with about a dozen fellow travelers, and the journey to the desert was smooth and enjoyable, taking around five hours. Upon arrival, we were welcomed warmly and given some time to relax and cool down. The organizer thoughtfully explained the itinerary, which included a delicious lunch to start our experience on a high note. After lunch, our group of six was paired with a knowledgeable guide, and we set off in a well-equipped jeep. The journey through the desert was absolutely breathtaking, with numerous stunning stops along the way. Each…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 89 reviews · 2 days · from $170

Spend two days in Luxor from Hurghada with temple tours, a sunrise hot air balloon, Egyptian meals, private transport, and a hotel stay.

“Our journey started in the evening with our tour guide, Marwa Fatafeat Elsoker, who was excellent. She explained everything in detail with clear wording, she is very friendly and open minded person I highly recommend booking her as your English guide. The journey with our driver, Islam, was very smooth, and we reached Luxor ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our stay at the Maryland Hotel. The service was poor, and the room was dirty and dusty. I was unable to sleep at night due to concerns about bed bugs and itching. Overall, the tour itself was perfect.”
