Everything was perfect and smooth. We were picked up on time at 4.30 am and taken by a comfortable vehicle to a motorboat where we waited for other guests and were served a breakfast snack. After crossing to the other side of the river bank we were split into groups and driven to the launch sites where we awaited our flight. Seeing the many balloons being pumped up was an incredible sight itself and we were always accompanied by a guide. We were given a safety briefing before getting into our own balloon for take off and we felt safe at all time under the command of our professional pilot.
The views are just incredible, countryside, monuments and the river Nile, all against the lovely rdawn backdrop. We flew with varying altitudes and crossed the Nile giving us a perfect view of traditional houses and farmland and the pilot rotated the balloon now and again so everyone got a fair share of the views.
Our landing was safe with ground staff ensuring the balloon was well secured everyone got off safely. We were then whisked back to our hotel in time for breakfast.
This was one of our best tours, we were kept in touch at all times, messages were promptly replied to and at no time were we hassle for tips.
A must do for an incredibly low price and thank you to Cheap Tours for making our trip so memorable. 5 stars
