Itinerary

Be enthralled by the riot of vibrant colours, be humbled by the daily existential struggle of stake holders who embrace life with dignity and remember to smile, get informed on the ecology of a way of life and facets of real India. Possibly Asia's biggest flower market, sure to leave an impression in you. Please understand that all locations mentioned are suggestions or pointers that are named to help you plan your tour. These are definitely not obligatory and you can opt to cut, prune, add or modify after consulting with us based on your taste and preferences. This is a PRIVATE tour and so does not need to be a "one size fits all" situation. You have options. Why have we done this? Simply because, it is YOUR holiday. Lastly, but most importantly, it is not possible to cover everything in a day tour. It takes more than a day. The list of places is indicative only. Apart from rough time estimates, we have to factor in commuting time (which will vary depending on transport means and local conditions on a given day), the time spent on a particular location, etc. Get in touch with us and we help you to arrive at a plan custom made for you, sans obligations.

Brilliant Kolkata experience

Published on Mar, 2025

As a solo female traveler in India for the first time, I joined two tours with Kaushik across Kolkata and wow -- what a phenomenal experience! By far one of the absolute highlights of my time in India! Kaushik is brilliantly knowledgeable, a fantastic storyteller, immensely kind and patient, flexible in how the visit is organised, always making sure that I felt safe, had enough to eat and drink and that my questions were answered. We wandered the streets for almost 9 hours (although the tour can be shorter if you wish) and the time flew by. It felt like we could have kept on going for hours more -- and certainly Kaushik still had energy to show more. It felt like he knew the history and had stories for every single building, street and square we passed. Some of the highlights of the day for me included drinking chai, sitting in Lal Dighi/Tank Square while Kaushik told us the history of Kolkata, taking an autorickshaw through the dazzling Kolkata traffic, going to the busy flower market on the bank of the Hooghly River, seeing the Kumartuli neighborhood (where they make sculptures for religious celebrations across India) with artists sculpting before our very eyes. But even with all these extraordinary sights, the true highlight of the tour was getting to experience the intensity of the daily rush and flow of busy Kolkata streets. Kaushik took me to extremely busy and lively places that I would never have dared venture into on my own, and made me feel safe and taken care of throughout. This felt like I was experiencing true Kolkata, far from tourist hotels and deep in daily Kolkata life. Kaushik, I can't thank you enough for this experience. I will recommend your tours to anyone going to India and hope to be able to join another in the future. All the best!!

Perfect Private Tour of Kolkata

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an amazing private walking tour of Kolkata with our 7-year-old! The tour was perfectly customized to suit our interests, starting with the vibrant flower market—a must-see for its colors and energy. Our guide KC was incredibly accommodating and added stops that we requested, like visiting a local supermarket and arranging for mehendi (henna) to be done, which was such a special experience. It was a perfect mix of culture, local flavor, and fun for our family. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Kolkata in a personalized and engaging way! Thank you KC!

best choice for visiting Kolkata

Published on Dec, 2024

Best choice we could have ever done. We visited Kolkata for a wedding and we only had 1 full day for visiting. KC customised a beautiful tour for us at very last min, taking us around and telling us lot of curiosities. it was an off the beaten track tour, as we wanted and he went beyond our expectations. Kolkata is not an easy city to visit. there is a lot do do and see and going around can be challenging if you're not from there. Having a guide like this, it made everything so smooth and so beautifully pleasant. highly recommended!

Minute Details, Monumental Memories: My Last-Minute Kolkata Escape

Published on Dec, 2024

If you’re looking for a guide in Kolkata who offers more than just sightseeing, look no further than Kaushik Chatterjee. This guide isn’t in the business of tourism for livelihood—he’s well-read, well-settled, and does this purely to engage his intellect and share his passion for Bengal’s rich heritage. What makes the experience exceptional is the intellectual depth he brings to every interaction. Our custom-designed trip was an unforgettable journey through Kolkata’s layers of history and culture. We explored the city in the iconic Ambassador taxi, rode the metro, commuted on a ferry, and walked nearly 20,000 steps in a single day. Every moment felt like stepping into a live history book. Kolkata, as he presented it, is a city where history breathes through every corner. He unraveled the British Raj era in ways I’d never imagined—explaining not just the buildings but the context behind them. He showed me the hotel where Mahatma Gandhi stayed, first Rosgolla was made and the spot where Subhas Chandra Bose enjoyed his favorite sharbat. He took me to mausoleums and memorials, each with its own intricate tale. We even discussed the history of the “good British” and the “bad British,” and the city’s deep-rooted connections with Jewish, Scottish, Danish, and Armenians. I asked him about the people of Kolkata—the diversity of the crowd, the caste dynamics, the unparalleled importance of Durga Puja, and the city’s art and culture. He shared vivid, accurate accounts that I later verified and found surprisingly on point. From the legacy of Bengal’s eminent personalities to the story of Job Charnock (the founder of Kolkata) and the evolution of Bengal from the 1600s to today, he seamlessly brought centuries of history to life. One of the most remarkable moments was when he spoke about Sutanuti, one of the three villages that formed the foundation of Kolkata. It's rare to meet someone who can weave personal and historical narratives so effortlessly. Through every part of this journey, he encouraged me to ask questions. No query was too small or too challenging, and his answers were always thoughtful and enlightening. I came away with a deeper understanding of Kolkata’s art, culture, and history, and a newfound appreciation for its vibrant present. This wasn’t just a tour; it was an intellectual adventure. If you’re seeking a guide who will enrich your mind as much as your experience, this is the one to choose.

Best way to get to know Kolkata

Published on Dec, 2024

Fantastic tour of Kolkata - heritage and cultural tour was a great way to get to know the city. We did a 3 hour private tour, by car and foot. KC is so knowledgeable and easy to understand. He made the buildings come to life with history, gave us a local tea experience, and walked us through the flower market (a highlight!) He arrived promptly and gave us options for the type of tour we wanted. Highly recommend!
