We really enjoyed this adventure! We were picked up on time (at 5 a.m.), driven to a nice place where we were served a light breakfast and then we watched the balloons being filled and prepared. We climbed in and took off. The view, mountains and villages and sunrise, was wonderful. After a smooth landing we had a delicious Morrocan breakfast. So we really enjoyed this half-day adventure, felt safe all the time and met very friendly people. We definitely recommend this great event!

The day was perfect, the pickup was very smooth, and the stops along the way were interesting The guide who took us to the waterfalls was super friendly, and at the end he showed us photos of the village covered in snow this winter, as well as a few of the ski resort in the Atlas Mountains. It seemed almost unreal compared to today’s fantastic weather.

Great tour! The best part is from the visit to the waterfalls through to lunch at the restaurants on the water. The first part, with the panoramic terrace above the bazaar and the argan oil demonstration, is pretty commercial and you could probably skip it. If you take the tour in Italian, be aware that no one speaks it.

It was a pleasant trip with beautiful view from Atlas Mountains. It was interesting to see the house of a Berber family. The tour guide was kind and helpful. It was an experience to have lunch on the river bank.

An incredible experience above Marrakech! The hot air balloon ride was superb, with magnificent views at sunrise. The pilot was very professional and reassuring; we felt safe the entire time. The organization was perfect from start to finish—everything was well-prepared and ran smoothly. And to top it off, the breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. An experience I highly recommend! 🌅🎈

Said, our driver, was very kind and took good care of us during the trip and upon our arrival. The staff gave us a very warm welcome. The flight was a wonderful experience; the weather was on our side, allowing us to enjoy a magnificent sunset. And to top it off, we had a delicious and hearty Berber breakfast. I highly recommend it. Thank you to everyone—the organization was perfect. Laetitia
