What are people saying about Marrakech

Ballooning Marrakech
We travelled in August so was lovely and warm, may want a second layer out of peak season. Wear closed shoes, we landed in a field full of spiky plants! Pick up was on time, journey wasn’t too long. Upon arrival you’ll be offered a chance to buy drone footage of your trip, priced about £25, whilst having a cup of Moroccan tea or coffee. Flight was nearly an hour. It was stunning and peaceful, staff and pilot were all friendly. You don’t have to help putting balloon up or down like you do most places in England, which added to the experience in the UK when we went with Virgin. Breakfast was edible but not great. Our pickup was 0450 and we arrived back at hotel before 1000. Overall was great, worth the £100 each or so.

Brilliant experience- well organised
This was a wonderful experience, it was very well organised and the staff were phenomenal. We opted to go for the photo and video package as an extra on the day, so no need to book in advance. It was well priced and the photographer/videographer was so nice. 😊

Sunrise on the Sahara
I booked this tour for my daughter and granddaughter and they had a fabulous experience. Nothing like a sunrise on the Sahara. A bit of additional information: hot air balloon tours are generally very early in the morning and weather sensitive - a somewhat fluid but doable situation. You will not know the exact pickup time until the night before because of the weather. Plus they may not be able to physically pick you up at your hotel because of road access issues. Very important to communicate with the Tour Agency to make certain you understand the exact pickup location and time. If you need assistance, ask your hotel to lend a hand.

Unforgetable
AMAZING is the only word I can use to describe this experience! The hot air balloon ride was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our balloon pilot was an amazing woman who navigated that balloon like a boss. She made us feel completely safe and confident throughout the flight. We were picked up just down the street from our riad. Since we had a group of 10, we filled most of the shuttle van. The drive from Marrakech was only about 30 minutes, making for an easy early-morning trip. We arrived around 5:30 a.m., just before sunrise, and were welcomed with a light breakfast while we waited to board. Once it was time, we were taken to the launch site, where the balloon had just returned with an earlier group. The basket was divided into four compartments, with five passengers in each section, so everyone had plenty of space and great views. Takeoff was an adventure in itself! The pilot instructed us to hold onto the side rails and squat down as the balloon lifted off. Once we were in the air, the flight was incredibly smooth, peaceful, and absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sunrise over the Moroccan landscape was unforgettable. The landing was just as easy. We once again squatted as instructed, and it was a surprisingly gentle and smooth touchdown. After the flight, we returned for a delicious traditional Moroccan breakfast, which was the perfect ending to an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this tour; it was one of the highlights of our trip to Marrakech. Caution: where close-toe shoes. The ground on the walk from the van to the balloon is filled with dried prickly thorn-like plants

Start your day by taking in the beautiful landscape of the Atlas Mountains and the expansive Moroccan Sahara—the largest desert in the world—on a Marrakech hot-air balloon ride. Rides typically take place at sunrise and let you float over the scenery in a small group or your own private balloon. Some excursions include breakfast and additional activities such as camel rides.
