One day to see Kolkata and get a feel for life in the city. - Chandrae was amazing !! I think I saw all of Kolkata from the working class to the elite…. From Catholic to Buddhist to Jewish places of worship… from Mother Theresa’s home to beautiful apartment buildings to wholesalers to ceramic creators to markets. Lunch was wonderful. Indian food made without spices and dessert was spectacular.

So much to see, great experience - Very interesting and history rich city. I went with my dad and we got everything we wanted from our quick one day tour Kolkata. Our guide (Subrata!) was very accommodating and hospitable as well as knowledgeable of all subjects. We got to see Mother's House and see special parts of the convent not open to the public. We were very happy with our experience

Kolkata Day trip with Chandrayee - Chandrayee was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. She contacted me prior to the tour to confirm, which was very helpful. She planned the day very well and we were able to make over a dozen stops, including time for a good lunch, without feeling rushed. We drove through some spots, but stopped at at least six places to explore in more detail. She had good information on what we were seeing and we had an interesting day. She also took some wonderful photographs of us and followed up after we were dropped off at our hotel. I am happy to recommend Chandrayee as a guide to other tourists for an interesting day .

A good day in old Kolkata - A nice tour in the old Kolkata. The guide accommodated our request to see in addition the flower market and brought us to have a tea at Oberoi Grand Hotel, which actually made the tour complete and very exciting. A bustling morning in the Sunday flower market is unforgettable. Despite the heat, we managed to see a lot of things, complemented by a lot of information shared by the guide.
