Tour and More - The trip was a gift to my son’s friend from the US. Right from the initiation , planning and execution , i found Tirthankar Mukherjee and his team honest, professional and knowledgeable, being a son of the soil. Feedbacks from my young guest ornamented the same and i wish to have a day out myself with an eye of a tourist in my city of birth and work, with my near and dear ones, someday soon ! I am happy that the local team is playing well in their discipline and frankly that speaks a lot in favour of our dear city of joy ! Keep it up ! Best.

Solo tour - The hosts were very accommodating and founds ways to help personalize the experience to my needs. We were able to stop for breakfast and move lunch later in the day. My tour visited several marketplaces which felt much more authentic than many tours I have had before. We were able to visit a large number of locations given the traffic in the city.

Wonderful guided city tour - Well guided person tour of the renowned city of Kolkata that holds the history of centuries . Being a mom daughter trip felt very safe and well taken by the experienced tour guides . They were flexible and accommodative when wanted to attend a mass at mother’s house and spend bit of extra time there . Asked about the sweet Misti Dohi which is popular in Kolkata which we have heard about and within minutes we saw two of the same were made available for us . Recommended them for a hassle free guided tour any time

A Snapshot of Kolkata: The Tirthankar Version! - My first trip to Kolkata could not have started better. My parents enjoyed their tour with him back in 2019 and I knew I had to try the experience for myself — it was absolutely enjoyable! Tirthankar is very informative and captures the highlights and history in an engaging manner, while also paying utmost care to your comfort and needs as a tourist. Though my visit this time is a brief one, I plan on coming again and exploring more through Tirthankar’s vast breadth of knowledge and professionalism. Highly recommend engaging his services as your guide to the city!

The guide was very cooperative and explained every detail about the tour with patience and clarity, making the experience even more enjoyable. The ride was comfy and the tour was well-paced, covering a lot without feeling rushed. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore Kolkata in a day!

Absolutely great experience - Highly recommended tour. Mukherjee and Aditi are incredibly wonderful hosts. We were shown areas we never would have seen on our own and learned so much about the history and culture of India. It would be a shame to see these sights without the benefit of an insiders shared knowledge. Great conversation too!
