    Absolutely recommended! Muzaffar took me on a fun walk around Kolkata's historic quarter, including the remnants of the East India company. We also visited the flower market under the Howrah bridge and took a yellow cab to Kumartuli which was fascinating seeing Durga come to life in the hands of such experienced craftsmen.

    This was a really fun day. I learned so much about Kolkata in both its recent and older history. Of note, Muzaffar did a great job highlighting idiosyncratic elements of Indian life in the city that otherwise would have eluded me such as people hiring people to wait in line to exchange 2,000 rupee bills that were made defunct a few months ago. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to understand Kolkata in both present and past.

    My parents came to Kolkata in the end of February to attend my wedding. During that time, I arranged this city tour for them to see some of the most famous sites of Kolkata with a local. After the tour, my parents asked me to write this review in their name. They loved every moment of their Kolkata tour. Muzaffar is an amazing tour guide who makes sure that his clients have a great experience. He is friendly, reliable and very knowledgeable. He took my parents to so many places places and went above and beyond to ensure they had everything they needed. They highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits the city!

    Absolutely recommend. Muzaffar took us on a fun and enlightening walk around Kolkata's historic quarter, including the architectural remnants of the East India company. We also visited the flower market under the Howrah bridge and took a ferry to a village downriver with a long history of artisanal craftsmanship, and intriguing historic buildings of its own. A great introduction to the city
