Our tour guide was extremely patient and courteous while taking us to various places. He took out the time to explain the history and significance of each place and was very knowledgeable. We were able to explore each place with sufficient time and left with lot of valuable information about Kolkata and the history behind the historic landmarks. We were able to cover lot of places in the allocated time, we didn’t visit all the locations on the agenda however. The tour guide was friendly overall and was happy to accommodate our lunch request and drove us to the restaurant as well. Overall this was a fun way to get the feel of the city and its beautiful architecture. I recommend this tour. I think it would be nice to bring print out of kolkata map marking all the places that are planned for the day to know which direction the places are at.

Once the proud capital of the British Raj (rule), Kolkata today is a unique blend of ancient and new. The city is rich in cultural, literary and religious flavors. Your walking tour concentrates on what was White Town in Old Kolkata. White Town was centered on Lal Dighi, a water tank which provided drinking water to the area. It is the oldest square in the city. Some of the city’s earliest and grandest buildings are located in this square. These impressive edifices are still in use, providing a glimpse of Kolkata’s British colonial grandeur and influence. A walk through this area tells the story of the growth of this important British outpost, from its early years to modern days.
