Title of the experience totally false

I had asked for our experience at 4 o’clock. We were picked up at 5:50 in an old vehicle filled with mosquitoes (we love it). To finally be in the hot air balloon at 7am. So the sun was already up... in the hot air balloon it was like a factory (28 people + the pilot). Being a group, we were separated in it. The luxury vehicle? Really??? The right joke! And what about the guide who has only thought to tell us time and again not to forget his tips to him and the driver. And guys, you don’t get paid by the tour operator or what? I estimate that at 50€ per person, the guide is already paid by his employer. In short very bad organization throughout the morning. Totally disappointed.

Disappointing

Really disappointing. Pickup was not at 4:00 a.m. as stated in the description but at 6:30 a.m. We arrived around 7:00 a.m. at the balloon launch site and were told it would take another hour before we could fly. In the meantime, we saw around 20-25 balloons taking off. At 8:00 a.m., we were told to board our balloon, only to learn 15 minutes later that we were not granted permission to fly as it was already too warm. While it’s not entirely the company’s fault, they should state that pickup times can vary and that it’s possible you may not be able to fly. If they had picked us up at 4:00 a.m., as advertised, or even 5:00 a.m., we could have gone on the flight since many balloons had already taken off by that time. The only positive aspect was the tour afterward, and they refunded us the money on the same day.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry that your hot air balloon experience did not go as planned and understand how disappointing this must have been. We sincerely apologize for the difference between the advertised pickup time and the actual pickup, as well as for the long wait at the launch site. We understand that missing the opportunity to fly, especially after seeing other balloons take off, was extremely frustrating. While flight permissions are determined by the aviation authorities and weather conditions, we agree that guests should have clearer information about possible schedule changes and the possibility of cancellations due to operational or weather-related factors. Your feedback is valuable, and we will review how we communicate these details to future guests. We are pleased that you enjoyed the tour afterward and that your refund was processed promptly. Although we are glad we could resolve the refund quickly, we know this could not replace the experience you were hoping for. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with the experience you originally expected on a future visit. Kind regards, Egypt VIP Tours
