Micato Safaris Google Reviews

We have just returned from the most incredible journey of our travel history: The Magic of India by Micato. Micato is world renowned for their luxury African safaris. Perhaps less well known is the extraordinary job they do creating and executing tours of India. When I say that this journey is the most incredible of our travel history, that means a lot because we have traveled to 109 countries either via land tours or cruising. This tour far exceeded our anticipation. I sell travel for a living, and I never thought I would be fortunate enough to visit India through Micato. When our Crystal World Cruise unexpectedly ended in Mumbai, we decided to contact Micato, specifically Marion Miller, who knows EVERYTHING about India and manages the India tours at Micato. Within a short couple of weeks, Marion put together an incredible Golden Triangle tour of India for us and another couple who are good friends. Let me tell you the ways Micato is different from other India Tour countries: 1. All the internal flights were managed by Micato and we were upgraded. 2. Our marvelous guide, Raj, actually met us at the port in Mumbai and flew with us to Agra. 3. We were met at the Agra Airport by our amazing driver, Iqbal, in a spacious van with reclining leather seats, and driven to our first hotel, the Oberoi Amarvilas. We were welcomed. With flower leis and a welcoming ceremony. Our suite was extraordinary! All these creature comforts were beyond our imagination. We had a sunset visit to the Taj Mahal and then dinner to cap this marvelous day. Our second day was equally memorable. Raj was with us every moment that we left the hotel and we always used the comfortable transportation driven by Iqbal. 4. The third day we were driven to Jaipur, the amazing Pink City. Again we were accompanied by Raj and driven by Iqbal. Our hotel, the Rambagh Palace greeted us with a sprinkling of rose petals. The hotel truly was a palace, and our suite even had a formal dining room. An example of the extraordinary care by the hotel: my husband has large feet (full disclosure) and the slippers provided by hotel did not fit. Unbeknownst to us, the hotel checked his shoe size and sent someone to a shop to buy him slippers. This level of thoughtfulness was just one of many. Each day there were beautiful pillow gifts from Micato. Laundry was included at every hotel. Our activities in each city were well thought out and unique. Raj was extremely knowledgeable and his narrative enhanced the experience. 5. From Jaipur, we were driven to New Delhi, where we stayed at another fabulous Oberoi hotel. The days were full of unique opportunities! A local representative from Micato picked us up at 3 am for the drive to the airport to make our 6:30 am flight, and again our wonderful Iqbal was the driver. 6. Unlike other tour companies, Micato does not restrict you to a specific restaurant in each hotel, and does not limit what dishes you order. 7. Although I have booked guests for years with Micato, I never thought I would have the opportunity to experience them as a guest. They are truly the Gold Standard, whether in India or in African Safaris. No other company comes close. We had not one moment of stress about arrangements or transportation. The caliber of guide, driver, vehicle, hotel and food was beyond our dreams! Thank you for an extraordinary experience!
