Should definitely be on your list! - An amazing tour that included some really interesting parts of the city I don’t think I would have visited on my own. Paulami was fantastic, she provided so much information on the history of kolkata and more importantly did it in an engaging and fun way. A must do!

Local, no mass tourism - It was awesome! Moinak and I hit it off right away and found many topics that interest us both. Super pleasant guy! Plus lots of information about the places visited, but not cluttered. The tour was adapted to things that interest me in general, without making any concrete suggestions. He showed me the real side of Kolkata, a deep dive into everyday life and how a local sees the city. No places with mass tourism, no rattling off of countless monuments, but visiting places that make up the city. For me it was the first thing I did in Kolkata. Get off the plane, get in the cab and meet Moinak. A reception in this town couldn't have been better. A thousand thanks!

Amazing Experience & Guide - A super unique tour involving cinematic storytelling! I’ve never been on a tour that involved seeing so many different parts of a city. There were taxis, buses, and ferries, it felt very encompassing! Paulami is a fantastic guide, she brings so much local guidance and personality to the experience and really made it stand out. I had a great time and I highly recommend!!

City of Joy - Excellent alternative option to get to know Kolkata. An essential walk to get to know the behind-the-scenes of the city, its people, its culture and history. Our guide, Polo, was very clear and answered all our questions.

Don't miss this tour while in Kolkata - A very original tour that makes you appreciate the history and culture of the city and many other aspects difficult to discover by yourself. Shrijit is very passionate about this city and very open and we had a lot of fun touring with him by every kind of public transport. We highly recommend. Carlo and Michela from Italy

An amazing tour - This was an amazing tour - Shrijit has so much knowledge about and passion for his city. It was fun taking all the different transport (take small change with you!) and we went at our own pace. We were taken to places we never would have discovered on our own and now have a real understanding of the history and culture of Kolkata.

Great creative tour in Kolkata - The cinematic experience, thought and designed by Shrijit (aka Arko), aims at portraying the many personas of Kolkata throughout the years. Shrijit ably took us through the multifaceted history of Kolkata from 1690 to the present days, like if it was a character of a Pirandello's novel. We visited the pulsating heart of the city and learned the stories of the many people that contributed to the charisma of the city as it is now. We stopped by some of the main landmarks, such as the Writers' Building, and walked in some of the most active areas, e.g. Kumartuli and College street. Unique tour, totally worthy, highly recommended.
