We come to Calcutta every year and wanted to experience the city in a new way. We did the private tour, and brought our two children, ages 5 and 7. We could not have been happier with our experience. Seeing any city on foot is the only way to truly understand the surroundings, but it has to be done right. We met our guide at 8am and spent the next three hours transported to a time when the British ruled India. Ifte was knowledgeable of course, but the way he described the history was through anecdotes, stories, and fun trivia. He answered all of our questions happily and thoroughly, even if many of them took him off the planned course. The children also felt comfortable asking their questions, which he answered with the same respect and clarity as he answered those of the adults. Three hours flew by, we all learned a ton, and left loving this amazing city even more. We will absolutely be doing another tour next December… So please save us a prime 8am slot!
