Perfect Personalized Kolkata Tour - We had a great time, With a very knowledgeable guide Mr Pal. We never had a lot of time so we were specific where we wanted to go which was very well organised. We were never rushed , we enjoyed each place and some others that we were also shown. I would highly recommend Calcutta Private tour communication was efficient and we enjoyed the sights and sounds of Kolkata

Unforgettable tour in Kolkata through the eyes of a woman - I have spent a couple of days in Kolkata with some friends. We wanted not only to visit the main sites but also to get a little taste of everyday life in the city. That's exactly what we got. We couldn't be happier of our choice. Bratati, our extremely professional, prepared and cheerful guide, made it possible for us to see and experience Kolkata through the eyes of a woman. Thanks to her suggestions, we had the opportunity to use public transport (metro, bus, ferry, cab) on a Sunday morning and taste not only a very good coffee and a wonderful chai but also some of the best Bengali sweets. We hope to travel to Kolkata again soon! :-)

Excellent 6 hour private tour - My wife & I travel a lot, enjoy learning about the history and culture of the cities we visit and use mostly private guides. Anirban was an exceptional guide on our day visit to Kolkata during a 9 hour layover. Not only did he provide us with interesting historical and cultural information he was quite engaging to ensure that we were comfortable with our many stops and not overly exhausted from a very, very full day (that we requested). For example, he helped us navigate the huge and bustling flower market that could've been overwhelming but made it fascinating with his knowledge and skill so that we will remember it for a very very long time. Again, we've been to many open markets all over the world and this visit was superb. Additionally, Anirban's demeanor was warm and extremely welcoming. His English was fluent, and his accent was easy to follow (at least to our American ears). It was a pleasure to spend the day learning from him. If you are touring Kolkata, we can't recommend him enough.

Best Kolkata tour guide! - Saha is the best tour guide we’ve ever encountered. We feel so lucky that we got to do 2 tours in Kolkata with her. She really goes above and beyond helping you with requests, and knows a lot about the different places. She knows where to take the best pictures and where to buy fair price. Her english accent is really good and easy to understand for people from whom it is not their first lenguage. We hope to come back and arrange more tours with her and her team.

"Enriching Kolkata Journey with Anirban: A Guided Exploration of Heritage and History" - It was an incredible experience with Anirban as my tour guide in Kolkata. His wealth of experience and vast knowledge brought the city's heritage and ancient history to life. I could feel the vibrant atmosphere and appreciate the importance of the heritage buildings. Anirban's guidance truly enhanced my Kolkata trip! With his continuous guidance, I can feel – "History speaks" here. He is truly recommendable .

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.
