Don't miss this tour while in Kolkata - A very original tour that makes you appreciate the history and culture of the city and many other aspects difficult to discover by yourself. Shrijit is very passionate about this city and very open and we had a lot of fun touring with him by every kind of public transport. We highly recommend. Carlo and Michela from Italy

feel the heart and history of Calcutta - wonderful experience with this exciting guide and passionate about his city of Calcutta. An original tour that really makes feel the history of the city. I highly recommend.

More than recommended - The tour was magnificent, the guide was magnificent and the explanations were magnificent. It has been a pleasure to enjoy the tour that the guide has taken us on

An amazing tour - This was an amazing tour - Shrijit has so much knowledge about and passion for his city. It was fun taking all the different transport (take small change with you!) and we went at our own pace. We were taken to places we never would have discovered on our own and now have a real understanding of the history and culture of Kolkata.

Great creative tour in Kolkata - The cinematic experience, thought and designed by Shrijit (aka Arko), aims at portraying the many personas of Kolkata throughout the years. Shrijit ably took us through the multifaceted history of Kolkata from 1690 to the present days, like if it was a character of a Pirandello's novel. We visited the pulsating heart of the city and learned the stories of the many people that contributed to the charisma of the city as it is now. We stopped by some of the main landmarks, such as the Writers' Building, and walked in some of the most active areas, e.g. Kumartuli and College street. Unique tour, totally worthy, highly recommended.

Unique, Spectacular and Immersive - Shrijit took us by surprise. Every word on the tour was well researched and he took us back in time as he brought history alive on the porches, in the alleys, and face to face with the institutions of Kolkatta. No amount of appreciation can do justice to the exceptional tour he took us on....filled with prose, poetry, and real stories. We loved how the soul of this city was bared to us and the hours flew by. Truly, we could do this over and over again!

A must in kolkata - Was unsure how this tour would pan out with the narrative. But I need not have worried. orco was a fantastic guide through the time line of Kolkata. All through the areas we visited the narration of the story followed the history and his passion for his city of Kolkata. Honestly this was one of the best tours we have ever taken. If you are visiting Kolkata this tour is a must. No rushing had time time to answer questions and a genuine nice man. Gary and Jo from the UK

The exciting kolkata walking tour - It was truly a special and captivating walking tour, immersing oneself in the rich Indian and Bangla cultures. Shrijit is professional and communicates effectively in English. He exhibits a deep understanding of historical places and local cuisine. Additionally, he is easygoing and comfortable to be around. I highly recommend this tour.

As authentic as one can get of Kolkata - The time spent with Shrijit is memorable and the best thing that happened on this journey. To see Kolkata through the eyes of shrijit and engage in a conversation with him is intriguing, he knows the city from native and cosmopolitan lenses, he discusses history and geography with you. The random Hindi words he uses are cute in his accent while he talks in English. Shrijit is comforting and if you're really curious about anything, then just ask him and he would love to talk about it. The more you're keen about this city, the more he will talk to you. Shrijit is a wonderful guide and he gets along very well. Most importantly, he is a concerned and passionate human being, he doesn't show you the city simply to please you as a tourist, he rejoices in it's beauty and his heart aches when he sees things that hurt. He tries his best to give you an authentic picture of the place. If you're keen to know Kolkata, he is the person to show it to you with warmth and passion. I loved every moment I spent with him in this city.

Good for a history buff - This tour is for those looking for a very VERY in-depth explanation on all things Kolkata. We did make it to a handful of sites however we found the stories and explanations to be extremely long-winded and frankly a bit boring. With that said, this was our own personal take on the tour. I’m sure others will love the long and detailed history lessons and explanations of Kolkata. The other “red flag” of this tour was every time we got on a mode of transportation (taxi, tuk tuk) or sat down for food, we were expected to pay and the rates were high. An Uber across town would cost us INR 300 and a taxi INR 200 for a five minute ride… we paid more for this experience than anything in Kolkata. For perspective, total transportation cost for the four people on our tour was ~$10 USD and combined we paid $150 USD for the tour. We didn’t expect as it wasn’t disclaimed in the tour posting and after paying so much for the tour. Transportation should have been included.
