Micato Safaris Google Reviews

What an amazing experience I’ve had in India. “The Soul of India” was full of adventure, culture, history, incredible hotels and amazing food. From jeweled palaces to impressive forts, opulent gardens to mesmerizing vistas; India knows a thing or two about enjoying the finer things in life and so does Micato! In August, 1994 I had the pleasure of dining with Mr. and Mrs. Pinto in their home in Nairobi prior to my Micato safari in Kenya and Tanzania for my honeymoon. It was during a conversation that evening that I found out Micato also offered safaris and trips throughout India. I knew someday I would make this a reality. I am grateful that the time was right in March/April, 2022. There were very few Western tourists given the mandatory quarantine requirement had just been lifted in February. I cannot imagine a more caring, professional, knowledgeable and fun tour leader for this adventure. Puneet’s sense of humor made the trip a laugh a minute. The next thing around the corner was bigger and better than the last. He ensured there were surprises along the way. His guidance with food selections was unsurpassed. When possible, he offered options and we easily made group decisions. Also, his minor tweaks of the itinerary along the way made the flow even better. We always knew when to be ready for each departure and what to expect. He had a gift for knowing when the time was right to move on. His knowledge of the history of India was astonishing. We experienced an amazing sampling of hotels from the Oberon and Taj groups. Each room was ornate, comfortable and well appointed. The level of service at each stop was incredible and they were always willing to please. Our dining options were varied and the wait staff always efficient and kind. What a shock to walk into an ocean view suite in Mumbai! The time in each of the six stops and the length of the overall trip was just right. We had the perfect mix of early morning adventures and time for relaxation, usually in the heat of the day. I’d can’t pick just one favorite morning experience among the sunrise over the Taj, morning game drive, hot air ballooning or the sunrise boat ride on the Ganges. The buses were all well-appointed and the internal flights easy to navigate with Puneet by our side. Laundry was an incredible inclusion! My guess is Micato is the only tour group to offer this. If I knew how easy this was at each hotel, I would have packed very differently. I did one bag per hotel, except for Mumbai since we weren’t there long before departing. I thoroughly enjoyed Sula wine and Kingfisher beer with my meals during the journey. Thank you for including them. No need to buy my own gifts. Everything we need to remember our trip is packed in our bags from the frequent gifts we received from Micato and the staff at the hotels. Thank you so much for the memories. Overall, this trip far exceeded my expectations. Micato has such high marks as a tour group for a reason. Everything was executed to perfection and each hotel was unique and enhanced the experience. Travel between cities was seamless and our drivers all knew how to avoid other vehicles, motorbikes, rickshaws, bicycles, cows, goats and dogs in the road! This was a perfect introduction to India!
