I do not know if I have seen such passion and love for a city as I have experienced from Subrata! He shared Kolkota with me and I have a very enjoyable day! He was very knowledgeable and professional. We visited all the spots and made nice photos while discussing history and culture. I absolutely recommend this tour.
Thank You for your feedback.
Absolutely fabulous city tour experience with Quick-o-City at kolkata. Mr.Saikat Chandra guide very well and organised city tour in detailed way. Provided well maintained car. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback.
Good guide and driver but itinerary timings were somewhat poor. This meant we had to queue for at least half an hour in the heat to get into the National Museum and the Birla Temple was closed when we arrived. In addition the lunch venue was a forlorn empty restaurant lacking any atmosphere - not really up to standard. Otherwise a full and interesting day.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again.
I would highly recommend this tour. I was picked by at the hotel and taken around many great sights in Kolkata. My guide Chandrayee was knowledgeable and gave you great insights into this amazing city. You could do the sights yourself but I would say having a good guide gives you a better depth of experience. I wanted to do more of an immersive experience at the Kalighat temple and this was accommodated. Please don’t hesitate to book this tour.
Thank you so much for your valuable review. Hope to serve you again.
