A Diwali Redemption in Kolkata – Thanks to Muzaffar Khan - Having visited Kolkata since 2007 for work, I’d never truly explored its soul. My spouse, visiting for the first time, was excited—but our initial experiences (a tram museum and a 13-stop food tasting tour) booked through Viator were a major letdown. Disappointed and disheartened, we reached out to Viator, and they connected us with Muzaffar Khan—a local expert who turned our Diwali holiday around. From the Missionaries of Charity to the Mallick Ghat Flower Market, Muzaffar curated a day steeped in history, color, and emotion. We marveled at the Howrah Bridge, tasted sweets at Nalin Chandra Das & Sons, and explored St. John’s Church, rich with colonial echoes. College Street (Boi Para) and the Indian Coffee House brought intellectual nostalgia, while the Victoria Memorial, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and James Prinsep Monument showcased Kolkata’s architectural grandeur. A serene boat ride on the Hooghly River capped off the day. Muzaffar was professional, articulate, and deeply knowledgeable. The vehicle was spotless, the driver courteous, and the pacing perfect. My spouse, initially skeptical, was thoroughly impressed. If you’re looking to rediscover Kolkata or see it for the first time—ask for Muzaffar Khan. He doesn’t just guide you through the city; he brings it to life.

My One-day Trip in Kolkata. - I had a One-day trip of Kolkata on 14th October 2025 with my wife. This trip was very well organized. I should really appreciate Mr Muzaffer Khan who was guiding us on that day. He picked us at the Hotel exactly at 8am sharp. Places visited: 1. Mother Teresa's Home. ( Missionaries of Charity ) 2. St John's Church 3.Howrah Bridge 4. Flower Market 5. Potters Street 6. Jain Temple 7. College Street 8. Indian Coffee House 9. Victoria Memorial 10. St Paul's Cathedral 11. Second Hooghly Bridge. Mr Muzaffer Khan explained each and every site in detail with clear conversation. The way he explained the historical events in a chronological order was simply amazing. He has a very good command over English. We were impressed the way Mr Muzaffer Khan explained the minute details in St John's Church and Victoria Memorial. Once again I should extend my thanks to the organiser of the event and especially Mr Muzaffer Khan for making this trip a memorable one in my life time. Definitely I will recommend to any of those who are proposing for the trip to Kolkata to utilize this service. S. Sundaramurthy.

Very Well Rounded Custom Kolkata Tour - We had an amazing custom tour that completed a terrific itinerary of places from 9 am to 5 pm right after the main Durga Puja festivities. Luckily traffic and tours were relatively light. Bratati Saha was our Ministry of Tourism registered guide that this company contracted with. She is well known by the community and peers so that helped a lot at all the busier sights, access, parking, a sense of VIP like experience, etc. She was amazing, very knowledgeable, understanding, and helpful. We got our shopping done, nice breaks, snacks, coffee, plenty of history, and all the stops plus more all covered ahead of schedule. Kolkata 1 day custom tour. This tour plus shopping, breaks, etc. we got done between 9 AM and 5 PM due to awesome weather and less traffic plus wonderful Ministry of Tourism guide! We added some shopping for my mother and also a famous Jain Temple on Bratati’s advice plus the nicer church listed below. 900–10:00 Drive to Dakshineswar Kali Temple Start sharp at 9:00; aim to arrive before the late-morning crowd. 10:00–10:45 ️ Visit Dakshineswar 10:45–11:15 Drive to Kumartuli 11:15–11:45 Explore Kumartuli Workshops open & active. 11:45–12:15 To Malik Ghat Flower Market 12:15–12:45 Walk market + Howrah Bridge Short but lively visit. 12:45–1:15 To College Street 1:15–2:00 College Street + ☕ Indian Coffee House lunch Busy but iconic experience. 2:00–2:30 To St. Paul’s Cathedral 2:30–3:00 ⛪ St. Paul’s Cathedral 3:00–4:00 Victoria Memorial Hall Allocate more time here. 4:00–4:30 To Mother Teresa House 4:30–5:00 Mother Teresa House 6:00–6:30 Back to Hyatt Regency

A Fun and Historical Full-Day Tour of Kolkata with a Professional Guide - On Tuesday, September 16, 2025, I went on vacation to Kolkata. I booked a full-day tour package in Kolkata with Muzaffar Khan. He took me to Rama Krishna Mission, where statues are made for the Durga Festival, to Mother Theresa House, to Victoria Hill, and many others. Mr. Muzaffar is a friendly and kind person. His friendliness is reflected in his smile and when he greets yang and is recognized by many people at the destination. He is also a professional tour guide. He can provide complete explanations, from the history, background, and development of the destination. I highly recommend him if you visit Kolkata. Thank you very much.

A sense of Kolkata - We absolutely loved Kolkata private full day tour! Muza was very friendly, professional and thoughful! We only had one day to explore the city, which was the last stop before our trip back home, so Muza did his best to show us around and get us to know a bit of the city atmosphere! I strongly recommend this tour of one of my favourite places in India! I hope to go back and explore Kolkata in the way it deserves!

Maravillosa Calcuta - Wonderful experience. Typical June heat and humidity went completely unnoticed. Very complete excursion, which ended at the house of Mother Teresa, a place of special importance to me, for personal reasons. 100 percent recommended. Our guide, Muzzafar, was especially attentive and careful with us at all times, super friendly, and very professional, explaining very well each visit of the tour. If I can, I'll go back to this great city.
