This was an excellent way of seeing a lot of the major tourism cites in Kolkata with a good tour guide and private car. We were blessed with Aditi and Noni as our tour guide and driver respectively. Both were phenomenal, caring, charismatic, and able to answer any questions we both had. We really enjoyed our experience with them both and highly recommend!

This tour gave us everything we wanted (and more) as we only had a couple of days to stay in Kolkata. In just this single day we covered all the key historical and cultural sits. Our guide was astonishingly knowledgable and gave us so much information on the city’s culture, history religious elements and geographic importance. I highly recommend this day trip.

We found this to be an excellent tour. Our guide, Nemai, was knowledgeable, friendly, and articulate. Our driver, Sumit, was patient and we felt very safe with him. One thing we were pleased with was that Nemai asked us at the start of the tour for a list of the things that we were interested in. This is the first time in a number of tours in India that a guide was willing to deviate from a set itinerary. Interestingly, our lists nearly matched and the things that he added were very much to our liking. We will definitely recommend him to friends and work colleagues travelling to Kolkata.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review of your Kolkata tour with us. It is wonderful to know that our guide Nemai met your expectations and could add value to your trip. Will surely pass on the compliments to both the guide and driver. We always make it a point to understand the guest's interests and tailor the experience to cover those interest areas. We look forward to being able to serve you or your friends in the future. Best regards, Suyash Gupta Email: agra@travelbureauindia.com Mobile: +91 9027711144

Great tour! Saw lots and lots of different parts of the city we likely would not have visited without a guide. Comfortable car and water was provided. Tour was adaptable to our interests / preferences as well -- we spent as much time as we wanted at the different stops, got snacks when needed, walked around, asked questions, etc. It didn't take quite as long as listed on the website, but we were quite tired by the end nonetheless. Knowledgable guide and helpful driver made for a great experience.
