Peace and comfort - Had a fantastic 8-hour roundtrip to Shantiniketan with our friendly driver and Mukherjee, who accompanied us. Despite Covid-19 restrictions at the university, Mukherjee made sure we enjoyed the visit by being with us. He joined us at the Saturday market, helping us get fair deals. The tour company's dedication to our comfort was evident. The journey was smooth, and having Mukherjee with us made exploring Shantiniketan extra enjoyable. Highly recommend for a stress-free and culturally rich experience—five stars well-deserved!

The music was fantastic. - The university and museum was closed. Had to peep through the fences to see anything. Got a few photos with the help of the guide. He also co-opted the help of a very knowledgeable local guide. The trip was long and the traffic through the towns was taxing. However because of the guide it became enjoyable. He was sensitive to the type of guests we were and played the most beautiful music for us. All Tagore, the founder of Shantiniketan, music. He translated the lyrics and the time went by. That in fact was the highlight of the tour.

Informative and pleasant. - Excellent choice and pleasant reprieve after Sights and Sounds of Kolkata. The campus and museum was closed but that deficiency was made up by the excellent guide Mr T Mukerjee. He was informative and sensitive to the nature of his guests. He played and translated the most beautiful music and lyrics written by Tagore throughout the 8 hour drive to and from Kolkata. It was the highlight of the tour.

Informative and pleasant. - The campus was closed, so was the museum. Our views were through the iron fences. However our guide Mukerjee was great and made up for these deficiencies. He was well informed and entertained us with beautiful music of Tagore during the eight hours to and from Shantiniketan. The music and the translation of songs were the highlight of the trip.

Very enjoyable trip to Shantiniketan - I went to Shantiniketan on a day trip with Kolkata Trips on 18 September 2023.I was a solo traveller and was a bit apprehensive about such a long car journey on the same day. But Mr Tirthankar Mukherjee was very reassuring. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip as well as the journey. My trip guide entertained me throughout the journey both to and from with wonderful music and videos which of course, was Rabindra Sangeet! In addition, Mr Mukherjee was extremely kind and hospitable and treated me to both breakfast and lunch, for which I am so grateful. Kolkata Trips is great!
