Kolkata's Soul: Private Half-Day Transformative Tour

This highly recommended private tour of Kolkata offers a truly enriching and memorable experience, with Muzaffar as an absolutely fantastic guide. Guide and Experience Muzaffar is an extremely knowledgeable guide, articulate and passionate about the history, culture, and details of Kolkata and India in general. He answered all our probably weird questions, making the entire experience engaging and fun. We learned a significant amount about the city and we would not have been able to set up such a tour by ourselves. Muzaffar provides an exceptional service and is nice, kind, friendly, and very flexible, easily adjusting the tour to our personal preferences and requests. The driver is also to praise for navigating the Kolkata traffic. Tour Highlights The tour hits all the main sites but can be customized. This is what we visited: We started by a memorable and humbling visite at Mother Teresa house museum and tomb. Our guide also took us to three Jain temples in Kolkata (Dadabari and Mahavira Temple), spread over three complexes. We then went to New Market, a massive olf covered market where you can find everything from needle to diamond. Quite an experience. We bought some spices and tea. We visited the old english district with massive buildings and later the park around Victoria Memorial (opted for not going inside) and St Paul's Cathedral. The Flower Market was quite an authentic experience with Muzaffar guiding us through the narrow streets below the Howrah Bridge. The peaceful visit to the "potter's district in Kumartuli to see amazing clay sculptures being created for the festivals and learning about it was for me the highlight. We also went to College Street for coffee and snacks at the Indian Coffee House and were gifted a poetry book by Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel prize of litterature. Value This private tour is really the most effective way to see the city. The high quality of the experience, especially with Muzaffar, will save you time and headache if this is your first time in India and a little apprehensive to discover such a big city.

The tour was super! The tour guide, Muzaffar was very knowledgeable and a great company. The dri era was great as well in the Kolkata traffic.

This was an amazing tour. Muzaffar was extremely knowledgeable and flexible with the itinerary so we could concentrate what we wanted to see. All amenities were provided.

I booked a half day tour with Mr. Muzaffar, it was such a wonderful experience to explore Kolkata. He arrived on time and the tour was well managed and everything went as per the plan.His knowledge of the area has given us an understanding of the ancient history. He provided us with an excellent professional tour which exceeded our expectations.

Our guide Muzaffar took us on a jam packed adventure across the vibrant city of Kolkata. We saw a mix of colonial monuments and other modern, but no less fascinating sites. Muzaffar’s knowledge of everything Kolkata, past and present, was impressive to say the least. Definitely recommended.

A great way to see Kolkata! Hit all the main sites but easily adjusted to your preferences. Little bit pricey but private tours seem to be the only way to see the city.

We had one of our best tours with this guide in Kolkata! He was well-dressed, elegant, and highly experienced, with a deep knowledge of history that he shared with great professionalism. His English was very good and easy to understand, which made everything so much more enjoyable. The tour itself was in a very comfortable car, and we saw so many interesting places – even more than we expected! Despite traveling with a small child, we felt safe and comfortable at all times. The tour was very well planned, and the continuous supply of water and snacks was truly appreciated. Highly recommended!

Had a great intro to the city. Muzaffar was incredibly knowledgeable, and made me feel like I had a good feel for the city. The pace of the tour was perfect and we hit all the spots I had on my list. It was great. I will recommend it to everyone who visits.

Me and my son enjoyed any word that Mr Muzaffar told us. He is a very well educated guide and knows History very well and speak a good english. The tour was a private one and we decided together what visiting and time to go and time was enough for us. We spent more time in Mother’s House as the day before we had already gone to College Street. He also took us to the airport at the end. The driver was very good as well. Don’t go in Kolkata by yourself or you might get crazy! Took a tour with him and his driver. If you have time ask him to plan to visit also the old heritage British Cemetery as we did . I am sure you will find it interesting.
