Just awesome … what a brilliant day! - I was overwhelmed by the day I spent with Muzaffar … he is the best guide I have ever hired. What really “made my day” was not just seeing the sights but his extraordinary personal energy & love of the city he was brought up in. He is full of anecdotes & interesting facts about Kolkata & is also a lovely & funny person to spend a day with. If you are used to eating in India then ask him to take you to a “local”restaurant for Bengali fish … he chose a perfect spot for our lunch. Thanks Muzaffar .. I will be in touch when my friends get their act in gear & book their trip to Kolkata!

Excellent Kolkata Tour with Muzaffar Khan - Choosing this tour to explore Kolkata was a fantastic decision. Muzaffar Khan proved to be the best guide for immersing ourselves in the city's rich culture and history. He is not only punctual but also incredibly knowledgeable, making our experience enjoyable and insightful. We had a great time discovering the various attractions. If only Muzaffar’s clone could be in every city, we would love to explore them all! 😜😃 Highly recommend!

Solo Travel Day Tour - This tour was simply amazing! Muzaffar was a great guide, super friendly and made me feel very welcome into Kolkata. Muzaffar took me to a variety of different places across the city, including locations I would never have found on my own. I would recommend this tour to anyone- it was excellent. Thank you for a great day Muzaffar!

Kolkata revisited after 62 years! - I searched for tours of Kolkata and discovered Muzaffar’s tours which had excellent reviews. I got in touch via WhatsApp and he responded immediately. It was important for me to see specific sites as I was born in Kolkata and was returning after 62 years so wanted to visit all the main sites but also ones specific to when I lived there. Muzaffar was happy to include any places I wanted to visit so I booked. My adult daughter and I were picked up punctually from our hotel in a very comfortable a/c SUV. Bottled water was supplied and delicious snacks and very good Indian coffee at the Indian Coffee Shop - a must stop. A lovely touch was being bought the poet Gitanjsli’s small book of poetry with the original Bengali on one page and English translation on the other. Also a beautiful bouquet each from the flower market. Muzaffar was very knowledgeable on Kolkata and went out of his way to find the address where I lived as a young child which really made the tour. He also took us to Nizams restaurant, the inventors of the kati roll - absolutely delicious. We did the 8 hr tour which overran to accommodate some of the places I wanted to visit. I have no hesitation in recommending Muzaffar and his driver who looked after us and gave us an exceptional tour of Kolkata. Thank you Muzaffar.

A great way to see lots of the city in just one day - We saw so much of the city in one day, including places we would unlikely have visited on our own such as the flower market and pottery area. We loved every single place on the tour, even though they were very different. Shormita was a knowledgeable and engaging guide and was passionate about this history and culture of the city.
