- Travel4457670 contributionsRaj made my dayIt's on the expensive side for India, but it was well worth it. I'll do it again in a heartbeat. It was Raj, a driver, and a clean air-conditioned car. Probably about 8 1/2 hours total with 45 min lunch break for me. Raj picked my up at the hotel, and we went though my expectations. It was not my first trip to India, From there on, it was on him. It was a hot day, so the order of places mattered. He knows the town inside out. Raj's English is top notch, which is not always a given. And he had a very good balance between history and random items to keep things interesting. He was the best guide in India I had so far, by a big margin.Written May 22, 2022

- nirjas20200 contributionsBeautiful way to explore KolkataOur 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.Written February 29, 2020

We learned a lot about the West Bengal history (which is why I went for the tour). The wars that took place, the influence of the U.K., and West Bengal's cinema and it's Poet's, particularly Tagore. I think most importantly our tour guide was very courteous, kind and knowledgeable about the tour sites.

The architectural design was done by Sir William Emerson and was built by Sir Rajendra Nath Mukherjee. After the death of Alexandrina Victoria, Lord Curzon initiated the construction of this memorial at an expense of 10 crores of rupees on 26 hectare land. The 200 feet tall memorial was constructed over 15 years. 3,500 antiques used by Queen Victoria are exhibited in 25 galleries along with other very important art objects.Written December 24, 2019

- donaay0 contributionsWonderful guideWe had an amazing time on our private tour. Our female guide was so lovely and knowledgeable about all things Kolkata. For two women travelling alone, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended! Thankyou!Written December 7, 2019
- RuteFigueiredo0 contributionsSo much learned in a couple hoursRajarshi took the time to discuss with us in advance what we would see, spared no efforts making sure we were safe, and gave us information at the rythm we could absorve. His wide knowledge of the different religions was unbelievable and he presented it in a way we could see the comparisons and contrasts. We were shown places that we would never been able to find without his guidance, and shown both historical and current details of Kolkata. Addicionally the boat tour was a perfect way to end the tour, with some more cultural views while slowly calming down with drinks and food along the way. We greatly recommend this tour.Written November 29, 2019
