This was a fantastic tour. Vedant, our guide, reached out proactively ahead of time with his contact ahead of time, and gave very clear instructions about where to meet him. And throughout the tour, he weaved in his own personal history and interests into a tour that explored this place that is a crossroads of Calcutta's cultural history. We had a relatively large group that cohered well, and Vedant did an excellent job engaging with everyone and finding things that appealed to our interests. I also arranged these tours a little late, and the main office was extremely helpful in setting things up. If you're looking for a tour where you'll learn a lot about the city's history and culture, this is the one for you.

We went on the Flower Market to Kumartulli walk and then the Bow Barracks to Burra Bazzar (confluence of cultures) walk the next day. We had Ramanuj for both walks. Ramanuj is friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to synthesize information effectively and give us insights to make the most of our experience. Apart from visiting sites and taking pictures along the way, we learnt so much about history and culture from Ramanuj. We had a wonderful time and would have booked another walking tour with Ramanuj if we had a few more days in Calcutta. Thank you for the experience Calcutta Walks and Ramanuj!

We took two tours, Flower Market to Kumartuli and Bow Barracks to Burra Bazar. Both times our guide was Tuhina. She is a fantastic guide! As she guided us around the historic parts of old Calcutta, she explained the history in considerable depth and always in an engaging way. She is a great communicator, and always eager to answer questions. As we walked around, she would stop occasionally to get us cold water, tea, sweets or savory snacks. This was greatly appreciated as it was easy to get hot and tired walking around in the April heat. Visiting the flower market and the Durga statue-making district were especially unique and interesting. These tours gave us access to experience the existing old Calcutta, in the context of its unique history. We are forever grateful for finding Tuhina and Calcutta Walks during our short visit ! We will be back and explore more with this wonderful tour operator!
