• 5Perfect in every way

  Muzaffar reached out in advance of the tour to introduce himself and to welcome any questions. He was communicative re meeting point and time. During the tour, he was punctual , very informative, displayed excellent local knowledge and contacts, and had a relaxed style, which gave me great confidence in his skills as a guide. The pace was comfortable, with regular stops for water, chai, and little bites to eat. I strongly recommend Muzaffar and this walking tour as a perfect introduction to Kolkata.

• 5Great tour! Highly recommended!

  I had a solo tour with Muzzafar and it was a wonderful experience. Muzzafar is an expert in Kolkata (and general Indian) history. In addition to a very high quality tour, Muzzafar was also very flexible and tailored the tour to my interests. Thank you Muzzafar for welcoming me to your amazing city!

• 5Second tour with Mr. Mohd. Muzaffar Hossain Khan of Tour de Kolkata

  This was our second experience with Muzaffar ji, the first one being in December 2022. Once again, we had a delightful experience - Muzaffar ji was punctual, professional, and unhurried throughout the day. He meticulously curated our itinerary based on our requirements, and regaled us with authentic information about each of the places that we visited. Our tour commenced at 12 noon, and was scheduled to end at 5 pm, but we finished off at 6.30 pm. Had it not been for the fact that we were tired, we would probably have gone on even further! Our tour date was March 23, 2025, and Kolkata streets were free of traffic on account it being a Sunday! We started off by visiting Mother Teresa's House, and Muzaffar offered us numerous facets that were hitherto unknown to us. Thereafter, we had an excellent tour of South Park Street Cemetery and Victoria Memorial. We ambled across to St. Paul Cathedral. From there, we took an iconic but ramshackle Ambassador taxi to College Street, where we visited Hindu College (now Presidency University), and saw the place where Derozio used to teach. We had an excellent lunch at Indian Coffee House, soaking in the ambience of the place. A visit to this place is highly recommended. Muzaffar ji offered us a visit to the Jain Temple, but we passed it up in order to have a dekko at Tagore's House (Jorasanto Thakurbari). Pity, we could not take a look because the keepers of this museum simply decided to close early on a whim that day, being a Sunday. We more than made up for it by having a soothing boat ride at the renovated Princep Ghar, which also has its very own railway station! Tours offered by Tour de Kolkata are personalized as per one's interests, and are very reasonably priced too. The host is very friendly, respectful, and well-mannered. He speaks excellent English and French, apart from several foreign languages, and Hindi and Bengali. We look forward to another tour with Tour de Kolkata!

About Kolkata

Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal and the former capital of British India, a river city of colonial buildings, bookshops, sweets and Durga Puja.

Kolkata grew from three villages on the Hooghly River and was the capital of British India until 1911. Colonial landmarks include the Victoria Memorial, a white marble hall set in gardens, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Indian Museum, founded in 1814. The Howrah Bridge, a steel cantilever bridge over the Hooghly, carries enormous crowds, and hand-pulled rickshaws and trams still run in the streets.

Top-ranked sights in Kolkata: Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity, Victoria Memorial Hall, Howrah Bridge.
