  • 5Experiencing a different side of the city

    A special feature of Soham's walking tours that sets him apart is his hospitality. Just like his other trips, he has put in a lot of thought into designing this tour, and it shows. As we walked through the world of books and then through the maze-like narrow lanes of barabazar, we stopped at least five times to taste different snacks and drinks so that the experience could be absorbed through all five senses. Even though I am originally from this city, most of what I saw on this tour was new to me. The overall experience was a feast for all my senses, enhanced by Soham's lively commentary, stories, history, and anecdotes. I am so glad that I got to see a side of the city that I was not at all familiar with. A perfect culmination of the trip was the rooftop restaurant from where you could see the city as the sun set. A truly memorable and wonderful experience.

  • 5A Soulful Journey Through Calcutta

    I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Soham . Soham is not just a guide, he is an exceptional storyteller and an intellectual bridge to Bengal. He explained in a deep, clear and fascinating way the unique cultural, philosophical and intellectual identity of Bengal, and how profoundly it differs from the rest of India. We visited an incredible range of places: emblematic landmarks, hidden corners, and very local, almost private spaces that you would never access on your own. Everything was rich, meaningful and beautifully contextualized. The tour was generous in time, knowledge and spirit, and Soham’s passion for his city and its history is truly contagious. If you are interested in understanding Calcutta beyond clichés, its ideas, its contradictions, its soul , this is an absolute must. One of the best guided experiences I’ve had anywhere. Un guia impressionant, generós i imprescindible per entendre de veritat Calcuta i l’ànima de Bengala.

  • 5Well worth the money

    It’s been a colourful, fascinating and exploratory trip, and thanks to our tour guide Soham we learned a lot about Calcutta and the different cultures in this city. I loved the huge area crowded with bookstores, Asias biggest fruit market and the iconic coffee shop best, it was all worth the trip. We were even provided with food and drinks, Soham really is a perfect guide.

  • 5Wonderful, diverse and sensual tour of Kolkata

    Wonderful tour guide and Kolkata expert Soham took us on a walk for the senses through gorgeous, unknown and magical corners of Kolkata. There were wonderful foods, beautiful sights and (let's say) interesting smells along the way, plus a shared experience with new friends. We loved and highly recommend it! Thank you! Made us fall in love with Kolkata ever more.

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.
