Discovering Kolkata Through the Eyes of a Bengali Brother. - I’m Bangladeshi and this was my first time to South Asia’s cultural heart and greatest city. Subrata, my amazing guide, was pleasantly surprised and thrilled that I happened to be a fellow Bengali brother so we spoke in Bangla throughout the tour. As this tour was private, it was customised to my liking. We stopped at the major attractions and had a light lunch at the legendary Indian Coffee House, before stopping at some clothes stores for some much needed shopping therapy, and purchased sweets at a Balaram and Mullick branch before ending the tour.

Great compact tour - A really pleasant world wind tour of the city, perfect if you only have one day and want to get a sense of the place! Would recommend to solo travellers needing some company

Great tour in Kolkata. - Great way to see the main sights in Kolkata. Our guide was with good knowledge and well prepared for every question what our 7 year old asked. The driver was great with a clean and nice car. Thanks for your great day.

Great day taking in the highlights - This was a good way to get a quick view of the city. The mix of temples, riverfront, markets and monuments was good. My guide Subrata was knowledgeable and great conversation. I especially enjoyed Hatkhola, the production area for the deity statuary you see everywhere and to Indian Coffee House. Had a great old world feel.

The best of Kolkata, brought to life by Samik! - We enjoyed exploring the best of Kolkata!!! Our guide, Samik, did an excellent job providing historical context for each part of the tour. He has EXCELLENT English and answered our questions intelligently and thoughtfully. He adapted portions of the tour itinerary to our liking and added some aspects related to Diwali (the current festival)! He took me to a place where my father spent time 80 years ago! He is the ultimate guide!

A lovely day around the City of Joy. - What a fabulous way to experience the city of joy! We were picked up on time and accompanied by our knowledgeable and friendly guide. The tour was customised to ensure we got to see the best of Kolkata and hear about the historic and spiritual significance of the monuments and buildings. We throughly enjoyed a South Indian lunch and a delicious filter coffee. We strongly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get the highlights of Kolkata in a day.

Fantastic Tour - We had a wonderful day with Saikat. The tour takes in all the main sights and Saikat is very knowledgeable which makes such a difference. Whether you are tight on time and need a whistle stop tour or you want to get your bearings with a knowledgeable local guide, this is the tour for you.

Ok - We visited all the main places on the itinerary, which I enjoyed. Guide and driver were nice. My issue was with the vehicle, it was so so hot in the back as air conditioning didn’t reach the back. Guide had to offer me to swap to the front which I don’t prefer, given the chaos of driving in Kolkata and all the honking. I think with the price of this tour they should have provided a better car rather than giving a low budget car- perhaps as I was a single traveller they did this? Even though I paid £85. Still, it did make my Experinece very bad during the extreme heat. I would therefore not use this company again when I come with my tour groups.
