Randonnée British Raj Heritage à Calcutta avec guide
Description
Revivez l’héritage britannique: retracez nos pas jusqu’à l’ère coloniale et visitez quelques points de repère qui ont marqué l’histoire de Kolkata. Apprenez-en davantage sur Job Charnock, fondateur de Kolkata britannique, qui a acheté les villages de Sutanuti, Gobindapur et Kalikata au sous-sol Azim Usman, en Bengale, en 1690 et qui est devenu au fil du temps la capitale de la Compagnie des Indes. Un évangéliste culturel vous ramènera quelques siècles en arrière pour raconter l'histoire de Kolkata sous la Compagnie des Indes orientales et de l'Empire britannique.

Bratati was an excellent guide and interesting with her storytelling.
Extremely interesting tour with a professional, friendly and informative guide. Happy to recommend this
Anirban hosted an excellent tour. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Adding minimum characters in order to leave review.
The tour was great and our guide Nemai was very lovely! We saw all the sights around Lal Dighi, St. Johns church, the Victoria memorial and St. pauls cathedral.
This was a very good tour and our guide Shaha was very friendly and informative. We toured the main Raj sites and her level of detail was very well pitched. She gave a good feel of what it was like at that time.
Very informative who was able to answer any questions. Tour covered most of the Raj associated buildings and infrastructure plus some interesting associated stories.
I had a great walk with Bratati as my guide. She picked me up from my hotel exactly as agreed and then we spent 3 really informative hours exploring the Victoria Monument and Dalhousie Square. I learnt a great deal about the history and architecture of the places we visited - and Bratati had many colourful stories she used to really bring the place to life. I would certainly recommend this experience.
The tour encompassed a variety of historical buildings during the age of British colonialism and the guide, Bratati, was instrumental in conveying her knowledge on the subject. Her English is wonderful.
