Mazaffar was fantastic! My husband and I toured Kolkata. for three days with Mazaffar and his excellent driver. He not only got us safely to all the main highpoints, but he got us to each place at the optimum viewing time. He gave us great history and information regarding each place and all of Kolkata. I asked for several nontypical sites, as well, and Mazaffar managed them all. We really loved the trip to the Sundarbans! That was a great/relaxing experience! We have travelled extensively and Mazaffar was one of our best guides. He managed our time so well--it was perfect! I highly recommend Mazaffar. You will not be disappointed and I don't think you could find a better guide. When we talked with other tourists, poolside at our hotel, they were all envious and wished they'd had our experience with Mazaffar. Truely the best!!Alain O

The tour is very good and not to miss. As a foreign traveler, the guide went above and beyond to take care of all aspects of our trip. From getting local foods, sharing historical facts, help with items around town, and even found us a nicer hotel. We saw cool tourist places as well as some local gems. Glad to say I left with a new friend after my experience in Kolkata.
