Perfect tour of Kolkata with Muzzafar

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an absolutely fantastic experience exploring Kolkata with Muzaffar as our guide! From the moment we met him, his warm personality and deep knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems made our tour truly unforgettable. He tailored the experience to our interests, ensuring we saw the city's iconic landmarks and lesser-known treasures. Muzaffar's storytelling brought Kolkata to life, and his passion for the city was contagious. He made every moment special, whether navigating the bustling flower market, explaining the rich heritage of colonial architecture, or taking us to a famous local coffee house. He was kind and accommodating, ensuring we were comfortable throughout the tour. If you visit Kolkata, I highly recommend booking a tour with Muzaffar. He doesn't just show you the city—he helps you experience it authentically. Thank you, Muzaffar, for an unforgettable journey!

Excellent option for a quick visit to Kolkata

Published on Mar, 2025

Muzaffar is an excellent tour guide and person in general. Very knowledgeable and speaks perfect English, very place you visit he gives great explanation while he chats and trays kindly all the people on the places you visit. Bering a private tour you can adjust the time and places you want to visit. I can’t recommend the tour enough 5/5

Great experience

Published on Mar, 2025

I had an incredible tour of Kolkata, and I can’t recommend it enough! Our guide, Muzaffar, was great and very knowledgeable. The highlight of the tour for me was visiting Malik Ghat Flower Market. Muzaffar even got us flowers, which was such a thoughtful touch! Throughout the tour, I learned so much about Kolkata’s rich heritage.

Thank you Muzaffar Khan!

Published on Mar, 2025

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to you, Muzaffar. Kolkata has always been a city close to my heart, but for my husband, visiting for the first time, it was an overwhelming experience. You, however, changed his perception entirely. With your eloquence and insight, you revealed to him the Kolkata I hold dear—a city of profound historical significance, where science and the arts exist in perfect harmony, fostering religious unity and philosophical depth. You are a historian of rare excellence, an epic storyteller, a most delightful companion, and a soul of great kindness. In you, I see everything that Kolkata was and continues to be. I cannot thank you enough for introducing my Canadian husband to my beloved “City of Joy” with such masterful narration. My heartfelt thanks to you, now and always!

Muzaffar was amazing. ...

Published on Mar, 2025

Muzaffar was amazing. I’ve been to Kolkata several times to visit family since I was a kid, but I have never taken a tour and I learned so much about the city.Highly recommended!
