Trip was worth it to be in a hot air balloon hovering over the pyramids! We felt completely safe and our captain and crew were very efficient overall. The provided lunch was just ok. Felt like more communication could have been provided as to when our driver was ready to take us to lunch or not. Spent some time just waiting around without instructions. As well there was confusion at the end on who would be continuing on for the pyramid tour so we had to figure that out among ourselves. Some additional guidance/organization would have been nice. Otherwise, I loved the experience and felt like it was worth the trip.
