Though the city was in the midst of a heat wave (it rained the next day), my first visit to Kolkatta was super cool and comprehensive, thanks to the enthusiasm, knowledge and courtesy of Muzzafar Khan. We covered most of our itinerary, winding our way through crowded streets and markets due to his easy expertise. He truly knows Kolkatta,  and more than that, his passion about the city comes through when he shares anecdotes about its rich colonial past or about its culturally vibrant present.  Would recommend his guided tour to anyone who is looking for a comprehensive introduction to this city, get a real feel of  its rhythm and flow in a short time.

A fascinating tour of some of Kolkata's sights. I especially loved the flower market and the pottery quarter, which were full of life, colour and interest. Aditi was a great guide, knowledgeable and thoughtful. It was just a pity that bad traffic meant some things were missed, but not something that can be planned for.

I had a wonderful tour round Kolkata on Monday 12th February 2024 with my excellent guide Muzaffar Khan. His knowledge of the area is extensive and I learnt so much from him about the British influence in Kolkata. I enjoyed seeing the old colonial buildings and also all the other places he took me especially Mother Theresa’s house. My walking is not too good these days, so he was very patient and caring towards me. He is a credit to the Viator company. Graham Warner

I can’t recommend this tour enough - Muzaffa took great care of us as he expertly guided us around the sights, sounds and tastes of Kolkata. You are treated to great hospitality, knowledge and insights as you take in the key locations of the city.

Muzaffar provided our family (2 adults, 2 grade school kids) with a fantastic tour through the bustling Kolkata cityscape. Everything from pre-tour communications through the post-tour drop-off was seamless. Kolkata can seem like an overwhelming city to get through, especially when you're taking two kids (7 and 10) along for the duration of the tour. Muzaffar and the driver, however, made it seem effortless. He explained every site we visited and sprinkled his tour insights with his own observations on modern India within the context of the tour. His commentary was appropriated tailored to both the adults and the kids in our family, and we felt that it really gave us authentic insights into the history and modern evolution of Kolkata. This is what a quintessential tour should be. The tour also picked us up from one hotel with all of our luggage and dropped us off at a different hotel on the other side of town to accommodate our own itinerary.

Busy day indeed. Had a good glimpse of Calcutta’s past. Pretty derelict structures. No buildings or history of Calcutta from Indian point of view.

With only one day to explore the sites of Kolkata, I decided to take a full-day tour of the city. It was my good fortune to connect with tour guide, Muzaffar Khan. Mr. Khan is a fifth-generation resident of Kolkata who is intimately familiar with the sites, culture, and history of this amazing city. Muzaffar is very personable and engaging. He provided a wealth of information and context for the many historical sites we visited. He also was most accommodating and adjusted our schedule to include a stop by Kalighat Kali Temple based on our personal interest, as well as providing advice about navigating the temple throngs. I could not recommend him as a tour guide more highly. I will make sure any of my friends who visit Kolkata take a tour with Muzaffar.

We recently embarked on a tour of Kolkata with Mr. Muzaffar Khan, and it was a wonderful experience. Spending the day with Muzaffar was like meeting up with an old friend. Kolkata has a hidden charm that's hard to discover, but Muzaffar knows all the exquisite spots. His knowledge is vast, and his care for his guests is evident. Muzaffar never rushed us and always ensured we felt we had all the time we needed to fully absorb each place. His expertise in the city's history is impressive, and he shares insights about the culture with great enthusiasm. While there's a fixed itinerary included in the tour, Muzaffar went the extra mile to customize the route based on our interests, making the day even more special. I compared many tours before making my choice, and I am delighted with my decision. Muzaffar's tour is a journey through the city and into the heart of Kolkata's rich history and culture. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the city through the eyes of someone who truly knows it.

Muzaffar is truly the best! On the tour side, he is extremely knowledgeable about Kolkata and all the places we visited. I loved asking questions to dig more deeply into history and culture. Adding on the food tasting option was the right choice, too! On the personal end, I am travelling with my brother, who unfortunately fell prey to “Delhi Belly” from the previous night. And wasn’t able to complete the tour with me. Muzaffar showed genuine compassion and quickly made the needed arrangements to get my brother back to the hotel and continued the tour with just me. He even checked in on my brother this morning. Although it didn’t go as planned for my poor brother, I had an incredible experience and saw parts of Kolkata I wouldn’t have found on my own. It was worth every penny, step, and deliciousness along the way!

Mr. Khan was an amazing guide. He was a font of knowledge about Kolkata, and Indian history. His stories were so engaging. We visited both the well known and lesser known sites, which were a delightful surprise. The visit to South Park Street Cemetery and Kumartoli, potters quarter were fascinating. We had wonder coffee and a snack at the Indian Coffee House. We walked into the bustling flower market which was huge. Howrah Bridge was a wonder with the number of people walking on the bridge. If you are Kolkata, I would highly recommend this tour!

Muzaffar was an excellent guide and this tour was the perfect way to experience Kolkata on my first day of arrival! The tour covered many different areas from famous landmarks such as Victoria Monument to local experiences such as walking through the flower market and sitting down to coffee at the India Coffee House. With our own private car, we were able to move throughout the city in a safe, efficient and comfortable manner. Muzaffar went above and beyond to craft an amazing experience for us, from taking pictures at every stop to teaching us Hindi phrases to giving us sweets to take home. The biggest value of the tour was in Muzaffar’s extensive local and historical knowledge of the area, we learned so much about the history of Kolkata peppered with anecdotes and delivered in a professional, warm manner. 5 stars and a must-do for first timers to Kolkata!

We had a wonderful whirlwind day with Muzaffar. We were traveling as 4 adults and 2 children under 10. Muzzaffar customized our itinerary to hold everyone's attention, even the 6 year old. We added a couple of unexpected stops and he was very accommodating. The entire time we were shepherded around in a comfortable car with great AC. He also planned the trip so we ran into minimal traffic and had easily available parking. We were safe, entertained and learned so much about Kolkata. Truly an excellent experience we are recommending to our friends that will visit Kolkata in the future. As another side note, he is very good at the tour customization. 2 of our party were native Bengalis and even they were blown away and learned a ton of new history.

We had the most incredible experience on the private Kolkata tour led by Mussafar. We are back now in Amsterdam,but we talk about our Kolkata trip with fondness. He is not just a tour guide; he's a true ambassador for the city. Mussafar took us on a journey through Kolkata that allowed us to see the city through the eyes of a local. His knowledge and passion for the city are truly admirable. What sets him apart is his warmth and thoughtfulness. He made sure we experienced the true essence of Kolkata, from its bustling streets to its serene corners. Mussafar's friendly demeanor and genuine care for his guests made the tour unforgettable. We left with a deep appreciation for Kolkata and a treasure trove of memories. I can't recommend this tour enough; it's a five-star experience in every way!

We are a couple from Austria who came for a short visit of Kalkota. Our expectations regarding the city very modest but the day we spent with our guide Muzaffar Khan in a lengthy and very detailed tour made us fall in love with this town. Mr Khan does have both an intricate knowledge of Kiolkata's history and culture but also a charming personality that let the day fly away. We highly recommend him for everyone who really wants to experience this "City of Joy".

I call Mr khan as men in black. He was a wonderful tour guide. I had a day trip and he made me feel so comfortable. I visited most of the places with his help. He is well connected and has good conversation with people where ever he goes. Thank you MIB
