Each basket accommodates up to 16 people, and there’s ample room for you to sightsee comfortably as you fly.

Take photos of the rocky valleys and peaks as your pilot steers your balloon over the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

1.00Received a message night before that the flight is not happening and didn’t request cancellation on their side leaving me to open a case with Viator to verify and try to recover the money we paid for the tour - the right thing was to issue refund right away, given the circumstances.

5.00We looked at various balloon companies before settling on Marrakech by Air, we weren't disappointed, pick up communication was spot on, they were on time and everything ran to schedule, the balloon accent as the sun appeared over the mountains was breathtaking, it was everything we'd imagined it would be, our pilot Sancho was very competent and entertaining, he put everyone at ease from the moment we got in the basket. Marrakech by Air, would definitely recommend them.
Professional, friendly and well run company

5.00Excellent customer service - good equipment and made the right decisions when the weather was poor first thing. They started breakfast and we waited for the wind to drop and skies to clear. Other providers pushed on and probably didn't have the best or longest flight. We certainly did with these guys. Would recommend and certainly book again.
