The balloon ride itself...

emmamarshall0403, Jan 2026

The balloon ride itself was really good and would highly recommend it. The transfer was poor, arrived late, drove like a manic, got lost afew times, hit a massive hole that caused a loss of power so mini bus wouldn't work, had to then wait for a replacement. Also poorly organised and lack of communication for transfers back so people were left hanging around for ages waiting.

Beautiful and Peaceful morning over the Atlas Mountains

Kate_H, Jul 2025

Despite poor communication for confirmation and pick up via what’s app it was a beautiful experience. Expect an early pick up, 4:45 am for 6 am flight. We were one of the first balloons to take flight as many other companies took off late and missed the actual sunrise. Our pilot was great and the breakfast after was fantastic. Thank you

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your comment and Our deep apologise for the communication problem

Short Marrakech sunrise balloon ride

David_S, Jan 2025

Well worth it, despite several really annoying factors due to disorganisation, miscommunication, and terrible attitude. Pick up was set for 6am. By 6.25, still nothing. Eventually, van arrived at 6.45. Other people collected after that up until 7.25, all of whom had been told 6am. Driver blamed "too many pickups". Not ideal on a freezing January morning. Balloon pilot, Cameron from Albuquerque, was brilliant, explained things clearly with enthusiasm & humour. Balloon ride was excellent, really exciting and a highlight of the trip. After the flight, this was spoiled by confusion over buses, the included breakfast being refused, angry and uncooperative attitudes and general "f" you feeling to the whole thing. Such a shame, since the main event was brilliant. Another of many experiences in Morroco ruined by utterly abysmal customer service.

thank you and we apologise for any confusion

Inadmissible

zacharia_m, Jun 2025

Paris, 5 June 2025 Attention Viator Customer Service, Madam, sir, I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with a service booked through your platform. I had booked a special event – a balloon flight for two people – scheduled for May 31, 2025 at 6:00 a.m., to celebrate my wedding anniversary. However, the night before, I still had not received the pick-up schedule. By contacting the local provider myself, I learned – without any prior notification from Viator – that the activity had been cancelled. I had to take many steps to get a reprogramming, which turned out to be false and non-compliant, for the following reasons: The service provider arrived at 6:20 am, instead of the scheduled time at 6:00 am; We arrived at 7:20 am at the launch site, after sunrise; I missed the balloon inflation, a key moment in the experience; There was no clear communication from either the claimant or Viator. These facts clearly constitute a breach of contract, with moral damage, given the symbolic nature of the day. Therefore, I am making a formal request: Full or partial reimbursement of the non-compliant activity; Or, failing that, immediate commercial compensation (purchase order, credit, etc.). ⚠️ If I do not receive a positive response within 5 working days, I will take the following actions: Disputing the payment (chargeback) with my bank; Publication of a detailed public review on Trustpilot, TripAdvisor and Google; Referral to a consumer association, such as UFC-Que Choisir.

hello sir 1- the fact is flight cancellation due to weather factor is not in our control 2- free rescheduling is a service we provide at no extra charge 3- there is discretion at any point that we need to fly at sunrise time according to many safety reasons include wind and weather facts 4- the most important is to do a safe flight which our main target 5- we wish you a happy anniversary lastly our advise next time when you you are planning celebrating a very special event , we recommend you book a private flight not a group collective ones

Merveilleux ...

Evan_A, Mar 2025

Merveilleux ! 🌟 Au départ, j’étais un peu sceptique étant donné que c’était l’offre la moins chère, mais au final, l’expérience s’est révélée identique à celle des concurrents, voire meilleure ! Chauffeur en même en avance, aucun compromis sur la qualité, tout était parfait. Un excellent rapport qualité-prix, je recommande les yeux fermés à 100 % !

Response from Host, Jan 2026

thank you so much , it was a great pleasure to have you on board our balloons
