Def recommend this walking tour in Calcutta - A very enjoyable walking tour with Bratati. Articulate and very knowledgeable. We learnt so much about the history of Calcutta.
Great value. Take a hat.
(We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the starting point for the extra cost of the cab)

Knowledgeable and interesting guide - We just returned from a wonderful trip ending in Kolkata. While there, we booked the guide services of Anirban through Bratati for two whole days. During these days we covered all that we wanted to see in Kolkata. Anirban was very knowledgeable and interesting and it enhanced the sight-seeing experience. We learnt a lot about the city and its storied past. The drivers were good too. Would highly recommend their services. At the end, Bratati gifted me a souvenir of Kolkata which was very sweet. Thanks for a wonderful introduction to your city 🥰

Oh Calcutta! A Delightful Pre Pujo Visit! - Doing the Calcutta city tour with Ms Bratati Saha turned out to be far more rewarding than we had anticipated. Ms Saha is knowledgable, articulate and excellent company. The historical and anecdotal nuggets that she shared were a delight to listen to and greatly enriched our trip. She was punctual and proceeded to show us the city in a relaxed, unhurried pace. Her personal connect with the keepers of Calcutta's history ensured that we could visit each place without a hitch. She would be our go to guide for not just Calcutta but places around Calcutta too.

IMMACULATE EXPERIENCE EXTRAORDINAIRE - IT WAS INDEED OUR GOOD FORTUNE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE THE PLEASURE OF SEEING CALCUTTA THRU A NATIVE'S, INSIGHTFUL EYES ! EVEN THOUGH BROTOTI CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY CLOSE FAMILY, WE WERE AMAZED WITH HER CHOICE OF LOCATIONS AND HER GRASP OF LOCAL FOLKLORE AND HISTORY. WE VISITED THE JAIN TEMPLE, MARBLE PALACE, KUMHAARTOLI, ST. JOHNS, VICTORIA ETC APART FROM SOME OF THE TOTALLY UNKNOWN GEMS OF CALCUTTA. I WISH IT NEVER ENDED. WILL SURELY BE BACK WITH HER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

My exceptional guide in Kolkata India - The experience was exceptional. My guide listen to me and what I wanted to do. He took me to places I wanted to see and also places I didn’t know that I wanted to see. It turned out really great and I would absolutely use that guide again. My guide name was Anirban Dey. He and his wife Bratati are both government licensed guides. It made my time in Kolkata so much more productive and fun

An interesting day in Kolkata - Interesting tour of Kolkata. I was in the city only for a couple of days and personally would not have had time to see so many places. My guide Mr. Pal told me a variety of interesting things. I gained a lot of knowledge about history, local persons, religion, etc. A big thank to him. Our driver also drove smoothly through the busy streets and alleys of Kolkata. I would have liked to get more tips in advance on giving tips. I come from a country where there is no tipping culture and I had come to India only a day earlier, so I didn't know about the practices and the magnitude of tips. I felt like I was doing everything wrong and I think that affected the atmosphere. Left a bit of a miserable mood. But had a nice day in hot and bustling Kolkata. I recommend the company and the tour.
