Just had an exceptional half day tour with M. Khan who showed us around the sites of Calcutta while entertaining us with his encyclopedic knowledge of Indian history. We learned SO much! He also helped us a variety of personal requests and was quite skilled in getting us to see everything despite the sites being closed for the third wave. I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Calcutta and Khan is your man for a relaxed and informative tour. There isn't a question he can't answer!lanceg443

Muzaffar was a great, knowledgeable guide and everything ran very efficiently. We were able to get snacks, drinks, and he even offered to take us afterwards to our covid testing site which was much further than the hotel. Highly recommend!
