This tour was the perfect introduction to the vibrant spirit of Kolkata! - Mr Ritwick is an accomplished guide who generously share his wealth of knowledge to frame interesting context to point of interest. In just a single day, we gained a deep understanding of Kolkata’s rich culture, history, and local life. He is also a great cameraman who takes good picture for you. The tour takes you to various interesting places and the day is done in a flash. The phrase "Time flies when you are having fun" comes to mind.

A great way to see Kolkata - Aditi, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The sites we visited were varied and very interesting. Aditi was open to anything else that we may have wanted to see. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

A wonderful day in Kolkata! - A very full day, made very interesting with the information from our guide Debasree. Very efficient service and pickup at the locations by our driver Shiv. An excellent way to take in a lot of what Kolkata has to offer in a short space of time.

Kolkata - The Sounds and sights of Kolkata was an incredible experience. Our guide Aditi, was very knowledgeable about all places that we went MotherHouse, Parashnath Jain Temple just to name a few. She was very helpful in getting us to understand the culture of the different religions. She didn’t rush us through any places. Great tour all round.

Kolkata's welcoming day tour - The booking of the trip went smoothly, we got our confirmation and contact details in a couple of minutes. On the day of the tour, January 4th our lovely guide waited for us at the hotel and the driver came punctually to pick us up. We visited all of the places as in description and we had enough time to enjoy everything. We got to know a lot about the history, culture and spirituality of Kolkata. The guide and driver were so polite and they were taking good care of us. We absolutely had an amazing day with them and therefore we would recommend this day trip always. Our kind regards to them (trip on January 4th from Elgin Fairlawn hotel).

Good tour - Guide had excellent knowledge and we enjoyed the tour. Great selection of things to see. We didn't get any visit to a sweetshop as per the itinerary. Slightly disappointed that he told us the company had made an error and only included to get garden tickets- but he'd got us memorial ones. On checking back at the hotel I realised it wasn't true. But had paid him for the tickets anyway. Enjoyed our day.

A fascinating day in Kolkata - We both admired very much, the Jain Temple. After that the flower market and the place where they made the statues really stood out. Our guide was wonderful! The only problem with a tour like this is that the traffic is so bad that it takes way longer than it should.
