We had an amazing day in the mountains with Ismail. We saw the beautiful five valleys, tons of nature and enjoyed breakfast, lunch, tea and coffee in scenic settings. The lunch was cooked by two Berber women and served on a rooftop overlooking a valley. This was the best food we’ve had on our trip so far. Highly recommend this tour.

This is absolutely a must do in Marrakech!! The whole experience was amazing. The balloon ride was breathtaking. The whole excursion was incredible from the hotel pickup and drop off to the authentic breakfast shared with my new friends. Definitely do this!!

Amazing experience exploring southern Morocco. Picked up directly from Place Mellah in Marrakech (very close to our hotel), we travelled towards our first main destination of Aït Benhaddou. The town was visually interesting and we were told a lot about its construction and position in the film industry. Honestly it was the highlight from the day. Sid an amazing place. Kalaat M’Gouna (Flower City) was our evening stop and the hotel we stayed in was well equipped, but could do with a bit of a face lift. Nonetheless, there were good views of the area and the terrace was a good spot to relax in the sun. It has also has a pool, but it is basically an ice bath. Staff were friendly. A relatively early get up at 7:30 and we made our way for a humble breakfast before jumping back in the van. We stopped at Todra Gorge and had a local guide for here and Tinghir, where we wandered through and entered a Berber house. They explained to us about carpet and tapestry making in the village. You are under no obligation to buy anything (the carpet-seller even said this), but for those who may want to purchase something and do not have the space to fit for the suitcases, they do send it internationally. There was a buffet lunch in Ferkla El Oulia and a stop for souvenirs in Melaab (we dressed in traditional Berber wear and had a group photo in the road). We had many stops along the way in our group, which broke up the journey nicely. We reached Merzouga in the mid- to late afternoon. We had to leave whatever belongings we needed for the camp outside a building. The vans cannot transport them across the Sahara to the luxury camp we stayed in. This may be slightly disconcerting for people, but trust them. They do this everyday. The process was organised chaos, but we received them at the camp later with no problem. While the bags were being transported with 4x4, we took an hour camel ride to a dune for some sand-boarding while we waited for our quad bikes to arrive. I am a bit of an adventure seeker and sadly we couldn’t ride the buggies a bit quicker, but I understand the safety elements and how difficult it is for the locals. We took them to a sunset spot before riding them back to camp. The tents in Merzouga were unreal. Accommodation was idyllic and we got bumped up to Premium, which was a nice surprise. The food was class and we had a beer and chilled in the camp and danced with the locals. Early get up for the final day: 4:30 a.m. 5 a.m: Breakfast — 5:30 a.m.: Camel ride to the see the sunrise. Back to the Merzouga town to collect our luggage. We said goodbye to our group and driver (Youssef), who were heading to Agadir, and jumped in another car to Fez with (Lüzy - I am sorry I cannot spell it). This day, we knew would long, but after a pitstop in Er-Rteb, we went all the way to Zaida. Amazing scenery through the Atlas Mountains on the way. Food was a kebab / butchers. Before reaching Ifrane (town where King Mohamed VI likes to sejourn and it is incredibly clean / honestly makes you feel like you are in the French Alps), we had a chance to see a group of macaques off-road. Then Lüzy drove us all the way to our hotel and ensured we had a hotel manager / employee to pick us up and walk us to our hotel. The old town of Fes is a medina and is therefore walled and almost impossible for cars to get in! The trip overall was 10/10. We enjoyed every minute of our excursion from start to finish. The activities were varied, the accommodation and food were very good, but for me it was the conversations with people in our group or local Moroccans that made it. We always felt respected, safe and well-looked after. See below more about our drivers: Youssef (our main driver) was very welcoming. His motto for us was: “Your job is to enjoy Morocco.” He was always in a good mood and if we had a problem/question, he would answer or ensure that he found an answer. He was exactly what you needed as an intermediary. We left to join another car on the third day, and he ensured to give us his number if any problems occur. Very reliable. He waited with us until the exchange happened. Youssef was also a great driver and knew the roads so well. Top bloke. Lüzy was also a great guy and told us a few things about the area from Merzouga to Fez. He was flexible when we asked him to keep driving and he was happy to do so. He also took me to a pharmacy and was on the phone to the accommodation to arrange pick up. Tom and Paloma

Marvellous experience of seeing the sunrise from the balloon with beautiful views of the Moroccan plains surrounded by mountains and other balloons. The transfer to and from the site, early morning tea and breakfast added to the experience. Would recommend for a unique experience.

Amazing experience overall, flight was smooth and the views were stunning. The breakfast was basic but tasty. Would have liked to have had some information on what we could view but this didn’t take anything away from the experience. Pick up was on time with a text 15 mins before to say how long. We were not dropped back at our hotel however but at the end of the road meaning we had to cross the very busy main road.

We had a great experience on our recent 3-day trip to Merzouga (the Sahara) from Marrakesh. Our guide, Ismael, and our fellow adventurers made the long drive over the Atlas Mountains and the cool spots we visited along the way quite enjoyable. Highlights were the stop over at Ait-Ben-Haddou, UNESCO heritage site and backdrop for dozens of famous movies, the Tundra gorge, Palm oases, and the mountain scenery as we crossed over into the desert. Once we arrived in Merzouga, the trip became EPIC. We boarded our camels, mine was named Bob Marley, and began our trek to the high end tent camp. Great food, beautiful accommodations, sand boarding, stars for days, and even a working shower! The tour guides even surprised me on my birthday with a cake they somehow procured in the desert. The next morning we rode back to the highway on ATVs in a surreal sunrise Mad Max-esque experience. Our fellow adventurers from Canada, Germany, Italy, and France made for a great group. Ismael spoke everyone's language! Impressive all around - highly recommend.

First class from start to finish. Great communication. Received WhatsApp message day before flight telling where to get pickup and time Driver on morning sent message to confirm pickup and picture of van and reg of vehicle. Everyone was so kind and professional and breakfast was also good. Balloon flight was fantastic and would highly recommended it to anyone.

Wow outstanding!! My first time in a Hot air ballon and I would 100% go again. I didn't want to come down, the peace you feel up there is amazing. Smooth and you didn't even feel lile you were off the ground. It was a privilege to have Lina as our captain, the whole experience was well planned and brilliant. If you go for the Sunrise trip check the temperature and make sure you dress in layers, it does get warmer when you are up in the air with the sun out but its only slight.
