Our guide prosenjit da was great! Although our group was a mix of people who have lived In Kolkata and those who are new, we all enjoyed learning about history.

My guide (Paramananda) was excellent. He listened to what we wanted to do, gave his advice and suggestions, and helped design the most efficient schedule to fit it all in. He is very knowledgeable, has a very pleasant manner and his help at the various sites was invaluable in getting the most out of the experience in a limited time.

It was a fantastic experience in Kolkata. The guide and the driver came to pick me up at the airport and sent me off at the same place which was an optional. Also, the guide gave me flexibility of selecting the places to visit. Outside was very hot, but it was comfortable seating in a car with A/C during the time moving from points to points. Very pleasant trip.
