Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Luxor West Bank and Nile River
Luxor, Egypt

My Review
I would strongly recommend this trip if going to Luxor! The guide picked us up on time at our hotel and the whole process was seamless. Good clear instructions of what is expected of you in terms of safety. I am usually a bit scared of heights but that all seemed to disappear when the balloon was in the air. The view is amazing and you can hear people talking on the ground as well as animals. I would take a hat as when the fire is blasting it can get really hot. We were in the air for just over an hour and its worth every penny!!! We were back in our hotel in time for breakfast. If you go to Luxor make sure you do 2 things - visit the Valley of the Kings and do the hot air balloon ride!!!!

Pyramids Sound and Light Show with Private Transport

My Review
Was a great experience!!! Was picked up and driven through the hectic, heavy Cairo traffic. Our fantastic guide got us our tickets and showed us the way. The show itself is a bit dated but entertaining. We learned something about the pyramids and the sphinx as well as having a chuckle at the dramatic dialogue. One amazing thing was the fantastic sky full of stars and we saw 5 shooting stars over the pyramids during the show. Take a jacket as it gets cold or hire a blanket on site for 1EGY Pound. We were taken home in time for dinner. Worth doing!

Do your self a favour and book this transfer. Cairo airport arrivals is up there with Delhi and Mumbai in terms of business and hecticness! We were met and taken through the mad crowd to our comfortable car. Do this especially if its your 1st time to Cairo as the immense hassle from touts takes a bit of getting used to.

Grand Canyon West Rim Day Trip by Coach, Helicopter and Boat with Optional Skywalk
Las Vegas, Nevada

My Review
Although when you arrive at the West Rim the instructions given are pretty vague, the trip to the bottom of the canyon was amazing! The bus driver told us to be back by 2:30, but the helicopter ride got us back at 3:30, something that was out of our control. Our driver was very rude to us and the others on our return, even after we explained that it was not our fault. This kind of spoiled it for us. That being said, the view from the helicopter was spectacular and the young male guide on the raft below was very nice and full of great information. We floated down the river in silence, which was the highlight, as it has to be seen to be believed. If there was better communication between the helicopter company and the bus company, this day would have been perfect. The fact that the bus driver was so rude to us put a dark cloud over the whole thing. Go for the view, and I hope your driver is nicer!!

Wow! It's over fast, so pay attention! It's worth every penny! You can't go to Vegas without seeing it from the sky. We could see people eating their dinner in the Stratosphere! Top marks to the tour company! They picked us up from our hotel and they were very organized. By the way, you can have as much champagne as you want beforehand!
