An excellent tour! - All the positive reviews are accurate! Muzaffar is an excellent guide and a generous host. The tour covers alot of ground but the pace feels relaxed and thoughtful. Muzaffar brings the city and its history to life, I highly recommend.

Kolkata revisited after 62 years! - I searched for tours of Kolkata and discovered Muzaffar’s tours which had excellent reviews. I got in touch via WhatsApp and he responded immediately. It was important for me to see specific sites as I was born in Kolkata and was returning after 62 years so wanted to visit all the main sites but also ones specific to when I lived there. Muzaffar was happy to include any places I wanted to visit so I booked. My adult daughter and I were picked up punctually from our hotel in a very comfortable a/c SUV. Bottled water was supplied and delicious snacks and very good Indian coffee at the Indian Coffee Shop - a must stop. A lovely touch was being bought the poet Gitanjsli’s small book of poetry with the original Bengali on one page and English translation on the other. Also a beautiful bouquet each from the flower market. Muzaffar was very knowledgeable on Kolkata and went out of his way to find the address where I lived as a young child which really made the tour. He also took us to Nizams restaurant, the inventors of the kati roll - absolutely delicious. We did the 8 hr tour which overran to accommodate some of the places I wanted to visit. I have no hesitation in recommending Muzaffar and his driver who looked after us and gave us an exceptional tour of Kolkata. Thank you Muzaffar.

A great way to see lots of the city in just one day - We saw so much of the city in one day, including places we would unlikely have visited on our own such as the flower market and pottery area. We loved every single place on the tour, even though they were very different. Shormita was a knowledgeable and engaging guide and was passionate about this history and culture of the city.

An Amazing Journey to the City of Joy - It was an absolute pleasure to have Muzaffar as our guide. His professionalism and knowledge of Kolkata truly enhanced our experience, as he shared fascinating insights about the city. His recommendation for an authentic Kolkata restaurant was spot on. Muzaffar was also incredibly accommodating, giving us the time we needed to fully take in the sights and immerse ourselves in the vibrant spirit of Kolkata. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and I’m already looking forward to another unforgettable vacation in this wonderful City of Joy. You made my time here even more memorable. Thank you and stay blessed, Muzaffar!

An Incredible Way to Experience Kolkata! - I cannot recommend this tour more highly, as it's a great way to see Kolkata's highlights. Although I only spent three days in Kolkata, I left there feeling like I really knew the place I'd visited thanks to this tour. Muzaffar is extremely welcoming, accommodating, and knowledgeable about Kolkata. He kindly greeted me with snacks and plenty of water to help me push through the summer heat. I appreciated his willingness to indulge my curious questions and adapt to my needs, like spending more time at the Victoria Memorial or helping me find a phone charger at a local market when mine broke. Having just returned from traveling Asia for nearly a month, I can easily say that Muzzaffar was one of my best tour guides I've had! I also appreciate his driver's timely, door-to-door service and deft ability to navigate Kolkata's traffic. (Regrettably, I don't remember his name.) Thanks again for a wonderful tour! I hope to revisit Kolkata someday and will be sure to reach out if I do.

Funtastic Glimpses of Kolkatta - Though the city was in the midst of a heat wave (it rained the next day), my first visit to Kolkatta was super cool and comprehensive, thanks to the enthusiasm, knowledge and courtesy of Muzzafar Khan. We covered most of our itinerary, winding our way through crowded streets and markets due to his easy expertise. He truly knows Kolkatta,  and more than that, his passion about the city comes through when he shares anecdotes about its rich colonial past or about its culturally vibrant present.  Would recommend his guided tour to anyone who is looking for a comprehensive introduction to this city, get a real feel of  its rhythm and flow in a short time.
