The walk from Bow Barracks to Burra Bazaar was fantastic. Iftekhar's relentless patience in the timing process and Prasenjit's passion for Kolkata have made this day invaluable to me. One only regret : not to have known them on my previous trips to the city. So if you want to experience the genuine spirit of the place, just sign in... More

If one wishes to understand the city beyond its regular humdrum and monotony, Calcutta Walks is the place to go. My experience of exploring 'white Calcutta' and 'Old China Town' with them had been absolutely pleasurable and a perspective changer. The history of the places I visited fascinated me the way Calcutta had never done me before. It brought me... More

We just loved to walk around Kolkata and see the city through the stories of our very competent guide

They know their city as few of us who... More

I've done three walking tours of Kolkata with Calcutta Walks -- two individual and one with a group that I was travelling with -- so I can speak from experience when I rave about them. Their guides are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. No guidebook can show you the city and tell you its history and secrets the way they do.... More

We found Calcutta Walks an absolutely essential thing to do. It would not be possible to understand all the history without it being explained and we so enjoyed learning about Calcutta and seeing some of the characters along the way. Thoroughly recommend this to all.

I adore the city of Calcutta, but I think I do so and know and understand it better because of my two Calcutta Walks tours. Brilliant, social, political, historical, and street context for this extraordinary metropolis. I cannot recommend it too highly: a wonderful outlet! Terri-ann
