About
[Note: If the number of Tourists is less than 12, then we do the tour in Un-Reserved Trams] With a capacity of 24 or 53, the AC or Non-AC tram runs multiple rides daily to the north and south of the city. Each ticket costs includes snacks. A lot is often heard about Kolkata's dwindling traffic system and how its age-old trams, means of transport that are still existing only in this part of India, are adding to the commuters' woes. There have even been talks of doing away with old tram cars for good and redesigning the city's traffic network. However, trams are still plying in Kolkata and measures are being taken to resuscitate the 133-year-old Calcutta Tramways Company. Take a ride on the Kolkata Heritage Tram Tour in one of these AC or Non AC trams this week and get a taste of old Kolkata's magical heritage.

Ariff gave us a wonderful tour that we won’t soon forget! He responded to a minor miscommunication with true professionalism and we thoroughly enjoyed our day spent with him. The tram and site visits were both emotionally moving and interesting. The tram is a historic gem and we do hope it is preserved as best as possible. I highly recommend this experience.

The most neglected heritage property of the country which is nearing to die out due to the huge mad rush of crowded city life and hustle bustle in which we all exist.
The beautiful non polluting tram service is nearing sure death if any good corporate house do not consider to adopt and revive the life of only such service in the country and in the very own city of Joy - Kolkata.

Deplorable coaches, poor maintenance, staffs, infrastructure is inevitably brining down this heritage property yo closure. From above 110km today hardly 30 km of tram line and service is operational with hardly few hand counted vehicles are found on the track.

Very disheartening to see this conditon.

Great Experience. The only city in Asia with more than 100 years old tram service. The trams are old, but, still, work. We were offered free pick up and drop. The guide was polite.

We visited Kolkatta on 26th of May. I wanted my Son to have an experience of the Tram ride. We took a ride from Rashbehari to Kalighat. It was a memorable ride. The ticket costed Rs12 for both of us. The Tram had WIFI in it. The conductor was cordial and helped me get down at the right stop. Sad to see the bad condition of the tram and heritage going down the lanes.

The trip was cancelled by the tour operator due to some operational issues buty entire amount for 2 people was deducted and I have not received a discount till date. The person who had reached out claims that he is neither from trip advisor not from viator ( the operator) do he can only follow up and not refund. The contact number provided in the listing is fake and leads to a wrong number. Trip advisor has no helpline number and even their social media handles don't respond. I would recommend not booking via this app or this trip as it is not reliable.

Tram depot quite hard to find but when got there no one there. Men in depot helped me, they had not heard of this tour. Wandered around but nobody remotely like other tourists there, so left. My hotel (Oberoi) tried to ring the number given, as did men in office, but no reply. VERY DISAPPOINTED. This trip was expensive. I expect a refund or will be contacting the police.

A must take joy ride if you are visiting the city for the first time. It’s very cheap and convenient mode of public transport but sadly the number of users is dwindling reducing the government revenue. Take the joyride before it disappears in the wave of modernisation !

It is our first visit to Kolkata.
Tram tour was a good experience, got view of real city life. Hotel pick up and drop was arranged.
The only point is non availability of tram for some routes due to last minute circumstances and metro work.

Overall our experience was good.
