Picked up on time friendly guide. Kept informed before Base camp great had fire pits going as bit chilly before the balon ride mybe take light jumper. Breakast was good boiled eggs local breath cakes jam ans soft cheese marrocan tea and coffee no English tea tho but enjoyed it Yeh would go again
Amazing and best part of our trip to Morocco .. well organized, hot air balloon operator was excellent and beautiful at sunrise seeing all of the balloons begin to fill in the ground. Highly highly recommend. Flight time is fairly long as well so lots of time to enjoy being up in the sky. The max height is 500 meters due to an airport near by so if seeking a super high flight like in turkey you may want to opt for a different option.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the sunrise hot-air-balloon experience and found our team and operator well organized. We appreciate your note about the flight height and airport restrictions—it’s helpful for future travelers. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable Morocco experience. — Morocco Mosaic Tours

We had the most amazing experience. Absolutely 5 star. Communication: Full 5 stars. It was timely and kept us up-to-date. Pick-up: Right on time at 04.15am. The driver called 20 mins ahead of arrival and kept us updated about his whereabouts. Drive: Safe driving to and from the ballooning site. Pre-flight: Had plenty of tea and coffee in the tent. Kay, our captain provided pre-flight instructions. We had ample time to witness all the preparations and the filling up of balloons with hot air. Flight: Amazing experience. We were 18 people in the basket + the captain, Kay. Lift off was gentle, followed by 50 minutes of a smooth flight. Touch down was gentle. Post-flight: We had a lovely breakfast in chilly morning. Good selection of warm and cold foods. Overall a very well organised trip. Thank you to the whole team.

Very quick to respond, and very experienced!
Adnan was incredibly kind and guided us from beginning to end. He explained everything very clearly to us. Thanks to him, we had the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic experience. The dinner was excellent, and the evening show was magnificent.
This activity is a must do if you are in Marrakech. Everything went smoothly from the hotel pickup to the breakfast to the hot air balloon ride itself. It was a 10/10 experience. I highly recommend it.
