Hello Calcutta Walk Tour

Amazing

The guide was great. We had amazing time exploring the city. The Howrah bridge was the best. Second was Kumartuli. Third Was coffee house.

Lived up to our expectations

Muzaffar The boys and I would like to thank you for a lovely afternoon. The tour was immensely enjoyable. The various different sites /activities selected gave us a nice insight into the city’s past as well as its current life. Was a lovely cultural exposure for the boys. It was well paced; we covered a lot of ground but did not feel at all rushed. Muzaffar was very accommodating of our requests, a pukka gentleman. Thank you! Definitely recommend

Kolkata first time ❤️

I went on a kolkata visit trip with my friends on 8 December and Mr Muzaffar Khan sir was the one who made my first time in kolkata a beautiful memory which I will cherish my whole life. I was on a business trip so was not able to explore my of Kolkata on my own but with the tour he gave of the city from Eden gards to Old British colonial buildings from traveling in ferries to visiting the famous Howrah bridge to ending the trip in the most famous place "Indian Coffee House". He made sure we are hydrated all the time and as we wanted to explore all things so if we were taking time in clicking pictures and making videos he waited for us patiently and even helped us by clicking our pictures on best spots there were which made us feel a warmth throughout the trip. Thank you for this amazing journey Mr Muzaffar and thank you city of joy 😊🙏

A walking tour that will be memorable for a long time to come

The walk was an extensive one starting from Oberon Grand hotel to Governor’s mansion to a Cathedral to Writers building to Flower Market. Took two ferries to get to Kumartooly. Finished our walk at the notable “Coffee House” close to Presidency College. The flower shop by Howrah bridge was perhaps the most notable part of the trip. This is the largest that I have seen. It is extremely busy and extremely crowded. An interesting experience. The ferry rides were a nice variety. Our guide took good care of us. Very satisfied with the tour

Fantastic tour if you want to learn to appreciate the beauty of Kolkata amidst its chaos

In one word, the Hello Calcutta tour was fantastic, exactly what I had hoped for and more. Muzaffar was very flexible/accommodating during our entire interaction-when we asked for a later start time, adding newer bucket list activities like taking the tram etc. I had tons of questions and suggestions to ask for and Muzaffar was kind and patient enough to answer all of them.  We didn't miss any part of the itinerary and in fact, Muzaffar was very generous with his time and never tried to rush us, took so many photos that I'd never have taken had I explored solo and took us to best local spots for yum food. By the end of the tour, I felt a connection towards the City of joy (which was missing in the past 1 week I had been here) and now makes me want to explore this ancient, culturally rich city in even more depth. Just go for this tour without any hesitation.

If you only have time for one thing in Kolkata do this!

We had the most fantastic tour through Kolkata. Mustafa has so many really interesting insights to share along the way and we went to so many fabulous places that we would never have found just with a guide book. He really made the history of Kolkata come alive. Thanks very much!

Informative and fun

Anirban was a great ambassador for the city of Kolkata. We learned a lot about the history of the city and also current day to day life. We had chai and butter toast, saw British heritage buildings as well as many temples, walked across Howrath bridge and went through the flower market. We saw artisans preparing statues for upcoming festivals. Learned about Hindi gods and goddeses Anirban was very knowledgeable and a great guide.

A great introduction to Kolkata

Muzaffar is such a lovely and knowledgeable guide. I learnt so much about the history and culture of Kolkata. It was great travelling on all the different modes of transport - especially the ferry and seeing the different parts of the city. Even the rain didn’t dampen the experience.

City of Joy…came alive

Muzaffar was amazing! My brothers and I had a fantastic time exploring the city. We covered so many different spots: the architecture, the flower market, the ferry ride, the pottery, mother house and finally college street. Truely the City of Joy!

Absolutely Amazing!

Absolutely recommended! Muzaffar took me on a fun walk around Kolkata's historic quarter, including the remnants of the East India company. We also visited the flower market under the Howrah bridge and took a yellow cab to Kumartuli which was fascinating seeing Durga come to life in the hands of such experienced craftsmen.

Informative tour with kind guide

This was a really fun day. I learned so much about Kolkata in both its recent and older history. Of note, Muzaffar did a great job highlighting idiosyncratic elements of Indian life in the city that otherwise would have eluded me such as people hiring people to wait in line to exchange 2,000 rupee bills that were made defunct a few months ago. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to understand Kolkata in both present and past.

Amazing Tour!

My parents came to Kolkata in the end of February to attend my wedding. During that time, I arranged this city tour for them to see some of the most famous sites of Kolkata with a local. After the tour, my parents asked me to write this review in their name. They loved every moment of their Kolkata tour. Muzaffar is an amazing tour guide who makes sure that his clients have a great experience. He is friendly, reliable and very knowledgeable. He took my parents to so many places places and went above and beyond to ensure they had everything they needed. They highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits the city!

Fun and eye-opening power walk around Kolkata

Absolutely recommend. Muzaffar took us on a fun and enlightening walk around Kolkata's historic quarter, including the architectural remnants of the East India company. We also visited the flower market under the Howrah bridge and took a ferry to a village downriver with a long history of artisanal craftsmanship, and intriguing historic buildings of its own. A great introduction to the city

Fantastic Experience!

We had an excellent trip with Muzaffar. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and has excellent service skills. We saw parts of the city in great detail. He goes at the pace that you want, and we had a ferry ride, hand-rickshaw ride, tram ride and Kolkata yellow taxi ride, apart from all that is mentioned in the tour. The entire tour is unhurried, and that is the best part. I would certainly recommend Tour de Kolkata to all visitors and even locals.

Wonderful experience!

Had an opportunity to do this tour with Muzzafar! He was very enthusiastic and showed us parts of the city which I had never seen/experienced while living in the city! Specially, the visit to the flower market was really amazing! Will surely do the other tours with him !

Kolkata Walk Tour

I enjoyed the overall experience. Muzaffar is very knowledgeable about the history of Kolkata and was excellent in his service skills.

Fairly okay experience

The guide was quite cordial and ensured that I would get the best experience. That said, Trip Advisor should not take bookings on holidays. Most of the places were closed. The highlight, ferry ride, was also shut. Definitely not worth 2k.

Soak in some Joy!

Kolkata! what Joy it was to walk on its streets, basking in it’s past glory, hustling through its markets, soaking in the grandness and culture and not the least chitchatting with the people who never cease to be joyful. Thanks a ton to Muzaffar ji for the joyful experience. Would definitely recommend!

Unique sites and incredible history

I took the Hello Calcutta tour last Monday and was extremely pleased by Muzaffar's hospitality and knowledge of the city. I have been traveling to Calcutta for business for the past 5 years and even after many visits, I was able to discover many new and interesting insights from this tour. Muzaffar clearly has a passion for the city and its history. He arrived at my hotel on time and was attentive to my needs throughout the day. I am looking forward to bringing my family back in the future and will be sure to use Tour de Kolkata.

Good one!

Was unfortunate to have rains during the tour time. But still it was a memorable and vivid trip. Recommended for people looking for a slice of Kolkata experience! Make sure to have your walking shoes on!
