About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nickbS3939MM0 contributionsGreat value for money but frustratingly disorganized and scammy at timesThe trip was really good value for money since you're not booking directly with a cruise line here: Love Cheap Trips finds you an unsold room on a cruise at the last minute and their representative messages you with information along the way. However, this meant that the organization and communication was really poor at times. I booked my trip weeks in advance but didn't receive any communication from LCT until a couple of days before takeoff (after I told them I would cancel if I didn't hear from them), and the itinerary was completely different than the listing. At the last minute LCT said that two guided temple excursions they promised were now no longer included, and I'd have to pay extra if I wanted them. I almost missed the boat takeoff because LCT didn't even know what boat I was supposed to be on or where it would dock until ~45 minutes before takeoff. The rep kept sending me an incorrect location pin for the boat so I was frantically walking around the Aswan waterfront for ~40 minutes being harassed by locals at every step. This isn't necessarily the fault of LCT, but the cruise and guides LCT booked for me also had their moments of scams and disorganization. For example, we had to visit a temple at 5:30am on the cruise and then sat on anchor for like 5 hours later in the day. Why wake us up so early for no reason? The Luxor guide also took me to an expensive, tourist trap lunch and made me pay him in cash afterwards for it instead of paying at the restaurant. Thus, allowing him to pressure me to give a big tip. He tried to fool me into thinking I miscounted despite me being extremely clear what I was giving him. He then tried to pressure me into giving additional tip "for the driver" even though the tip was obviously meant to be split between them (and was a fairly generous tip). He also tried to get me to write the review in front of him before he attempted the tip scams at the end. However, I still think a Nile Cruise is an iconic, and perhaps essential, part of the Egypt experience. The buffet was solid, cruising along the Nile is magical, and the temples are amazing despite the behavior of the guides and locals. There were other affordable, similar cruises on TripAdvisor that unfortunately didn't match the schedule I needed. I would go with those if they're available, or pay extra if you want to avoid the headaches of this cruise. But if you don't mind that for a discount, go for it. Hopefully the logistics will improve over time.Written 4 February 2025

The balloon ride was great.
Our organizer Fam did everything to our satisfaction.
Pick-up on time, escort to the balloon and pick-up after landing.
The balloon ride itself is recommended to anyone who wants to experience the sunrise on the Nile with a view of 3000 years of history.

The driver was at the hotel on time. The flight is really great. We do not feel the takeoff and the landing was smooth. The panorama is exceptional with a view of the sunrise and the various historical sites of Luxor. Change of scenery guaranteed!

The balloon flight was amazing! The views were incredible and all the staff was so kind with me and my 8 friends. They picked up us at the boat in the morning and offered us a little breakfast, then we take a faluca and arrived to the balloon station.
The day was incredible and we enjoyed every minute 🥰. We recommend absolutely this experience, a must if you are in Luxor… the ancient temple views are unforgettable.
Thank you to all the staff and team!!

Nice con!
We treat tourists like cattle.
We had booked months in advance for a flight with sunrise
We took off at 6:45 when the sunrise is at 6:20 - we were the last balloon
And as we took off late there was no wind and we didn't even get past the Valley of the Kings...
Our dream was ruined
The attitude of the organizers was abhorrent
Business to flee
We are money pumps

Worst company ever. They scammed my money. An keep lying about refund. I’ve reached out many times a they keep making exscuses. Then finally for my 320 dollar ticket they refunded me 1.20$ just to add salt to the wound.

Terrible because we were not picked up so did not get to go on this experience!
We waited in our hotel reception, the pick up point from 3am to 4.30am and no one came to collect us! The stated time for pick up was 3.30am but we did not receive confirmation!
I tried to contact the tour operator and left an email the previous day. The phone no. given for customer questions was not an Egyptian one. I had given our hotel phone no. for our contact if not being informed by email which I could be reached!

WORTH THE PRICE!
The pickup was smooth. I think we were the first one who got collected as a group and waited in a que for others. At the beginning we taught that we will miss the sunrise, but we got in time to the balloon. We got in time up in the air and the view from up was really stunning.
Thank you!!

It was a marvellous experience for me, the price was great, the duration of the balloon in the air was great, as long as the management does not change, this company is number one.

Did it happen to you to pay the tickets and not be picked up from the hotel or the company forgot about you? We are here outside the hotel waiting for 30 minuts and none came to pick us up.
