Informative and fun - Anirban was a great ambassador for the city of Kolkata. We learned a lot about the history of the city and also current day to day life. We had chai and butter toast, saw British heritage buildings as well as many temples, walked across Howrath bridge and went through the flower market. We saw artisans preparing statues for upcoming festivals. Learned about Hindi gods and goddeses Anirban was very knowledgeable and a great guide.

A great introduction to Kolkata - Muzaffar is such a lovely and knowledgeable guide. I learnt so much about the history and culture of Kolkata. It was great travelling on all the different modes of transport - especially the ferry and seeing the different parts of the city. Even the rain didn’t dampen the experience.

City of Joy…came alive - Muzaffar was amazing! My brothers and I had a fantastic time exploring the city. We covered so many different spots: the architecture, the flower market, the ferry ride, the pottery, mother house and finally college street. Truely the City of Joy!

Absolutely Amazing! - Absolutely recommended! Muzaffar took me on a fun walk around Kolkata's historic quarter, including the remnants of the East India company. We also visited the flower market under the Howrah bridge and took a yellow cab to Kumartuli which was fascinating seeing Durga come to life in the hands of such experienced craftsmen.

Informative tour with kind guide - This was a really fun day. I learned so much about Kolkata in both its recent and older history. Of note, Muzaffar did a great job highlighting idiosyncratic elements of Indian life in the city that otherwise would have eluded me such as people hiring people to wait in line to exchange 2,000 rupee bills that were made defunct a few months ago. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to understand Kolkata in both present and past.

Amazing Tour! - My parents came to Kolkata in the end of February to attend my wedding. During that time, I arranged this city tour for them to see some of the most famous sites of Kolkata with a local. After the tour, my parents asked me to write this review in their name. They loved every moment of their Kolkata tour. Muzaffar is an amazing tour guide who makes sure that his clients have a great experience. He is friendly, reliable and very knowledgeable. He took my parents to so many places places and went above and beyond to ensure they had everything they needed. They highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits the city!

Fun and eye-opening power walk around Kolkata - Absolutely recommend. Muzaffar took us on a fun and enlightening walk around Kolkata's historic quarter, including the architectural remnants of the East India company. We also visited the flower market under the Howrah bridge and took a ferry to a village downriver with a long history of artisanal craftsmanship, and intriguing historic buildings of its own. A great introduction to the city

Fantastic Experience! - We had an excellent trip with Muzaffar. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and has excellent service skills. We saw parts of the city in great detail. He goes at the pace that you want, and we had a ferry ride, hand-rickshaw ride, tram ride and Kolkata yellow taxi ride, apart from all that is mentioned in the tour. The entire tour is unhurried, and that is the best part. I would certainly recommend Tour de Kolkata to all visitors and even locals.
