Full day custom private tour of Kolkata

November 15, 2019

I arranged this trip for my aging parents living locally in Kolkata. Their tour guide Mr. Prosenjit was very knowledgeable and courteous to my parents and was indeed a very customized trip! Thank you for the excellent service and am surely going to book more trips with you in near future and recommend you to my friends as well! Keep up the great work

The best guide we had in India. "Dave" (his nickname) was a wonderful guide. A guided tour adapted to our individual wishes.

Amazing day

October 05, 2019

Collected by Manashi and the driver 15 minutes before our planned time to have a chat about what WE wanted to do... the day could not have been more perfect. Manashi made suggestions and we went with the majority of them to create our day. No rushing about, took our time to see what we wanted and had the most amazing Bengali Mutton Curry in the most perfect restaurant. Would I change anything about the day? Yes..... Iâ€™d book 2 days with Manashi :-) We have made a friend for life with this lady and we are so honoured to have shared the day with her

A..maz...ing!!!!

From the minute we met Manashi. to the moment she dropped us back at the hotel, we had the most amazing day. Manashi...such a beautiful person...polite, informative, educated, encouraging and funny - one of those people you want to be around. She answered our many questions about history, culture, places and in a way that respected all opinions. She asked what WE wanted to see and do, and advised us every step of the way with traditions and practices. We felt honoured that we had opportunities that may otherwise not have happened. She is so proud of her country and I can see why. I had already decided before our tour was over that I was coming back to India - to see more and hopefully meet Manashi again. More than worth the cost of the tour and the memories will stay with us for a long time. Thank you Manashi and Kolkata!

It was excellent: better than expected

September 05, 2019

First of all, it was really â€œcustom privateâ€ with all the flexibility that one may desire. Secondly, the guide, Mr. Anirban Dey, was not just very knowledgeable but also a beautiful human being. It has been a pleasure knowing and being associated with him. And for all this, we are very grateful. THANK YOU, ANIRBAN.

Worth going

When you are in any city and you are new it is advisable to take a one day custom trip to the place and you will come to know the culture ,custom etc. Similarly in Kolkata also the full day custom trip will be of very helpful to know the city well.
