When i saw this tour in Tripadvisor about the Great Betrayal tour of Murshidabad, i had to do it! Over 2 days Sauvik helped us retrace history and we saw the battles between the Nawabs and East India Company through the leftover landmarks. Sauvik was very read and he helped us understand that time of history very well. The Palaces and homes of wealthy merchants was enchanting. One can imagine the riches this land possessed. The company take care of hotels, private car and great guides. I would recommend this for people who want to understand a little more of the heritage of this great part of India.

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.
