Take a day off and get to know Kolkata - A full day might be long however the city is big and places of interest are plenty. Small walks in between refreshing and boat tour lovely but short. I recommend 45 min. Delicious lunch. Professional and friendly guide.

5Senses does it AGAIN! - I had a long layover in Kolkata and 5Senses worked with me to arrange a tour that would fit my schedule. My Cultural Ambassador Anirban (“tour guide”) met me at the airport, we hopped in the car and it. It takes about an hour to get into the city so this definitely beat taxi or Uber. Anirban took me to several locations of cultural significance and I truly got a feel for Kolkata, the cultural capital of India. Anirban was clearly knowledgeable and personable. I would definitely do this if you want a guided way through a very complex city.

The Bengali lunch was amazing. The tour ended over a nice boat ride on the Ganges River. A fitting end to a fabulous day.

City tour of Kolkata with Guide - Our Kolkata experiance was conducted by a very engaging young man Abhishek Roy whose knowledge of the area and command of English was excellent. We started quite early and finished, at our request, around 4:30. Our tour included comercial district, St Johns church, various monuments, museums always with good detailed history. Lunch was at local restraunt with a varied choice of regional food. It was only my wife and self running out of steam that prevented more being revealed. Overall a very interesting tour.

City tour - The full day city tour of Kolkata with Abhishek was very satisfying. Not only was he a great company, he also knows so much about the history and traditions of Kolkata that we could unravel what’s happening in the city. We also enjoyed the pipe organ in St John’s church. What a fantastic experience! The boat ride on the river was fantastic. We also had a great time in the museum where abhishek brought alive the exhibitis. This is a great way to explore kolkata if you have a full day.

City of joy tour! - The full day city tour of Kolkata is a great way to experience Kolkata. In one day, I got to see important landmarks as well as got a great flavor of the city. Abhishek was a fantastic guide. We started at the memorial founder of Kolkata. Then we visited magnificent architecturally beautiful buildings like the Writers, Victoria memorial and Raj Bhavan. Lunch was a simple local cuisine and tastefully prepared. The cruise over the Ganga river was really the highlight of this trip for me. Simply amazing and a must do for every traveler to Kolkata!
