West Bengal Tours

"A stellar tour from Mr. Khan. From pick-up to drop-off, he was a consummate professional; answering questions, dropping random trivia bits, keeping us informed of the full itinerary, etc. He really helped us pack a LOT of experiences into a half-day tour. We had an absolute blast. When it comes time for our next Kolkata outing, we'll absolutely consider teaming back up with him. Highly recommended!"

"Great tour! Nice way to get out in the evening and see the best of the city with a knowledgeable guide. Tried a ton of different dishes and had a wonderful time."

"Excellent full-day tour of Kolkata, very knowledgeable guide, well chosen sites, a fantastic learning experience."

"Mangi led a very personal and hugely interesting walk through the side streets of Kolkata. Our guide gave us the opportunity to meet the street traders, watch them make their breads, samosas, tees etc and to try them, safely. A wonderful experience."

"Excellent private tour, from start to finish. Having an English-speaking tour guide meant that we were first in line, and did not miss anything. She guided us around and told us all about the Grand Palace Complex, and Wat Phra Kaew. Stunning sights, and excellent tour guide."

"This tour was a great last minute option for us as it provided for everything end to end. From the minute we left our Pune hotel to the minute we arrived back we were guided - except obviously on the airplane. The pick up in Delhi airport was waiting and Prem our driver gave us a fantastic welcome, including flower leis and snacks for the road trip to Agra including beers and water. Our tour guide Mahesh joined us in Agra and the he provided a very detailed knowledge and understanding of the Taj and its history. Starting early the next day made all the difference particularly with the crowds. He has a real passion for the city and being a local and part of the culture makes a difference. The shopping was good as well and it gives you the opportunity to experience some of the history of the arts and crafts of that era. Just be weary that if you express the least bit of interest in an item the sales men willl force it on you. Dont be afraid to force a haggle. One item went from 2400 to 1000 and you can potentially go lower buy walking away. All in all it is a very efficient, easy and safe way to get around Agra. On the way back as we wanted to visit a few places in Delhi the guide was ok for us to get lunch on the go from anywhere included in the trip so we could do that which is the part of the beauty and flexibility of the Indian people. Pick up from the hotel a bit earlier in Pune would have seen us be able to factor in a few other things into Delhi or relax a bit more when we arrived in Agra. Be prepared for a very active 48 hours but well worth the trip. Even Raj, the travel coordinator kept tabs on us the whole way via WhatsApp making sure we arrived after flights and to hotels every step of the way. He was also in constant contact with the tour guide and driver making sure everything was fine all the way to arrival back at your Pune hotel. Thanks Raj, Mahesh and Prem we had a great time and look forward to the next experience."

"A great day sightseeing with a tailored itinerary that was created quickly before departure. We were able to see major attractions, as well as sights of our family history (as Anglo-Indians). The boat trip was great at night. Wish there was more time however to see more."

"Despite not having much time during my trip to India, I decided to take this one day trip to the Taj Mahal. From Kolkata there is a 2 hour flight and then a 3 hour drive down to Agra but the effort is well rewarded when you arrive on the site. It really is one of the key places in the world to see. Also the convenience of drivers and guides makes the trip so much easier. In fact I highly recommend using a guide like Rocky at the Taj Mahal as navigating the entrances, tickets, lines, shoe covers and key photo spots is important on top of the knowledgeable history explanations."

"Excellent tour. Guide was very knowledgeable. Covered all the main sites of Kolkata with adequate time. A good combination of walking and not all the time in the car. Driver was very good"

"Amazing tour. Soham is the best tour guide I’ve had in my life. It was a pleasure to see Kolkata through his lenses."

"Guide was very knowledgeable and nice. Even without the food, the tour has a story and is interesting. The food itself is great and wonderfuly curated. You will definitely be full, but more importantly, it's delicious and you get to sample quite a few different dishes."

"Interesting and delightful tour walking down the small walkways of the slums in Kolkata. I had also done a slum tour in Mumbai and this was so different. Mumbai focused on work and recycling, whilst Kolkata was focused on the children, their families and everyday life - This is a very memorable tour in the best sense."
