My guide was Nemai and the driver was Akash. They were excellent! They were very kind and professional. Nemai was knowledgeable and attentive. I had a great time. We visited many places. Thank you Nemai and Akash for an amazing tour!! I do think the tour is VERY expensive. $151 for the tour for one person in Kolkata (over Rs 12,000) is abnormally expensive for what you get for the tour. Nothing was fancy about it. It was a basic tour. I would highly recommend the tour company adjust the price, specially if it is for one visitor. I took a similar trip another day and it was a fraction of that.

Bratati was an incredible guide! My time in Kolkata was fantastic, and she ensured that I was comfortable throughout. She allowed for a flexible itinerary that met my requests and interests. Her vast knowledge of her native Kolkata is outstanding and one can sense her passion for her city's history. I truly recommend this activity for anyone interested in learning of India's colonial heritage, as you will be pleasantly surprised. And I cannot recommend Bratati's company enough. Our driver, Tarak, was respectful, punctual, and drove us around the city safely. 10/10 activity.

Our guide was great, he was fully accommodating to our needs. He helped us buy train tickets and gave us lots of information about Calcutta. We ate with him in a delicious Bengali restaurant, and there he also told us about the food and culture. A great day with a great guide and a safe and friendly driver!! Highly recommended!!!

5 out of 5 stars

The guide was great: calm, informative, and showed us a broad array of sites. The communication and organization beforehand (nothing to do with the guide) wasn’t great but in the end all worked out well. I would recommend!

5 out of 5 stars

What a fantastic tour and especially a very good guide, told a lot about important sights and buildings that we visited. Nice mix of temples, street scene, markets, river etc. The name of the guide was Paramananda Sen.
