    This tour was the most special one we ever had. Kolkata told us her story, shared by a wonderful guide. We got to see a lot of places and had great food. Besides that we also learned a lot about the city and it's history/everyday life. We definitely recommend as this was a great experience 👍🏻

    We joined this tour at the end of April. We booked the tour probably one week before the date, and we received the reminder and kind instruction of how we met prior to the tour by whatsapp, it was helpful. Our purpose of the visit is to deepen the insight of how the city was born and developed into the current shapes of itself, It was the answer of it. The tour begins at Victoria Memorial, which participants have a chance to know and feel how British started to cultivate the city. Then we moved to Flower market by bus. It was good opportunity to immerse ourselves into the way of locals. Basically at the sites participants visited, there were free time, I took many pictures. I don’t write all the details as it could spoil the experience, but I want ti mention it, as we chase the sunrise, we could get clearer image of the city. For example, at the flower market I experienced how people trade the flowers, then at the next destination, I had a chance to know how the flowers are used I the daily life. In this way, participants can expands the how the city has been developed and functioned. I recommend this tour to experience at the first day of your stay. You can grasp the ideas of whole city. とても親切で楽しめました。ローカルな場所の訪れ方や、公共交通機関の乗り方なども同時に学べるので、滞在の最初の方にツアーを利用すると、行動範囲が広がると思います。ガイドは歴史に詳しく、なぜその建造物がそこに存在するのか、背景から説明してくれて、理解が捗りました。

    Our guide for Chasing the Sun tour was Moinak. It's an early start but we'll worth the effort. Mounak is very knowledgeable about Kolkata and took us to places most tourists would never venture to. Joining the locals on an early morning bus and plenty of stops for cups of chai and finishing with a particularly good breakfast. Book this tour with confidence. A great way to see Kolkata wake up.
