A totally wonderful tour visiting so many places we would never discover on our own! Both Anushtup and Mayukh were brilliant👏👏👏

Nandita Chandra is one of the best tour guides we have ever experienced. She is an actor by trade, which imbued her stories with a fresh perspective. She was extremely knowledgeable, and encouraged inquires. Her command of India's history was amazing - and she made the stories come alive. This is the tour to take to see the real lives of local people, and to learn some things that *probably* weren't included in your History 101. If you're looking for adventure, this is the tour for you! It includes rides on a local bus, cab, and boat - hang on to your hat! This is definitely a 5 star tour. Take it!!!

An amazing tour that included some really interesting parts of the city I don’t think I would have visited on my own. Paulami was fantastic, she provided so much information on the history of kolkata and more importantly did it in an engaging and fun way. A must do!

A super unique tour involving cinematic storytelling! I’ve never been on a tour that involved seeing so many different parts of a city. There were taxis, buses, and ferries, it felt very encompassing! Paulami is a fantastic guide, she brings so much local guidance and personality to the experience and really made it stand out. I had a great time and I highly recommend!!

Excellent alternative option to get to know Kolkata. An essential walk to get to know the behind-the-scenes of the city, its people, its culture and history. Our guide, Polo, was very clear and answered all our questions.

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

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.

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.
