Fantastic walking and driving tour of Kolkata with KC. We started early at the flower markets, enjoyed a local bread and “momlette” breakfast, and explored the city’s stunning architecture and colonial history along the way. KC was engaging, knowledgeable, and kept the experience relaxed and enjoyable throughout. Seeing artisans at work building statues for Saraswati Puja was a real highlight, and ending the tour at the Park Street cemetery—with fascinating stories shared in this peaceful green oasis—was the perfect close. Highly recommend KC, and I’ll definitely look him up again on my next visit to Kolkata.

Kaushik is an excellent tour guide - extremely knowledgeable about many facets of India and Kolkata’s history, culture and religious traditions; warm; a good communicator; punctual; organised but also flexible. He made our party feel very comfortable. We spent almost 8 hours in his company but it flew by. Highly recommended - and take the tour as soon as you arrive, as we did, as it really helps you get your bearings.

A colleague and I were in Kolkata for the first time on business and wanted to see the city. KC was an excellent guide - informative, passionate and a great story teller. We communicated via WhatsApp before the trip and he made sure we were well prepared to meet him. He made sure the trip was tailored to our needs, helping us with public transport (a wild and fun experience), sorting access to some off the beaten track sites of special interest to us, and finding local food that was suitable for our untrained stomachs! He wasn’t fazed when we invited along two colleagues from Kolkata - and they were really pleased to see parts of their city that they had never seen before! The pricing was very clear and I believe most if not all of it goes to the charity that KC supports. There was a payment issue on my part (100% my fault) but KC was gracious and understanding - giving me time to sort it out and staying in touch throughout. All in all it was an excellent experience and I’d have no hesitation booking KC again or recommending him to others.

Kaushik was the perfect guide to accompany me on my first day in Kolkata. As a solo traveler, it was important for me to be accompanied by someone I could trust. Kaushik understood this perfectly and accompanied me to the more difficult places to reach. His knowledge of the city, its history and his desire to share them made this day a highlight of my stay in India. A big thank you Kaushik!

As a solo female traveler in India for the first time, I joined two tours with Kaushik across Kolkata and wow -- what a phenomenal experience! By far one of the absolute highlights of my time in India! Kaushik is brilliantly knowledgeable, a fantastic storyteller, immensely kind and patient, flexible in how the visit is organised, always making sure that I felt safe, had enough to eat and drink and that my questions were answered. We wandered the streets for almost 9 hours (although the tour can be shorter if you wish) and the time flew by. It felt like we could have kept on going for hours more -- and certainly Kaushik still had energy to show more. It felt like he knew the history and had stories for every single building, street and square we passed. Some of the highlights of the day for me included drinking chai, sitting in Lal Dighi/Tank Square while Kaushik told us the history of Kolkata, taking an autorickshaw through the dazzling Kolkata traffic, going to the busy flower market on the bank of the Hooghly River, seeing the Kumartuli neighborhood (where they make sculptures for religious celebrations across India) with artists sculpting before our very eyes. But even with all these extraordinary sights, the true highlight of the tour was getting to experience the intensity of the daily rush and flow of busy Kolkata streets. Kaushik took me to extremely busy and lively places that I would never have dared venture into on my own, and made me feel safe and taken care of throughout. This felt like I was experiencing true Kolkata, far from tourist hotels and deep in daily Kolkata life. Kaushik, I can't thank you enough for this experience. I will recommend your tours to anyone going to India and hope to be able to join another in the future. All the best!!

We had an amazing private walking tour of Kolkata with our 7-year-old! The tour was perfectly customized to suit our interests, starting with the vibrant flower market—a must-see for its colors and energy. Our guide KC was incredibly accommodating and added stops that we requested, like visiting a local supermarket and arranging for mehendi (henna) to be done, which was such a special experience. It was a perfect mix of culture, local flavor, and fun for our family. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Kolkata in a personalized and engaging way! Thank you KC!

Best choice we could have ever done. We visited Kolkata for a wedding and we only had 1 full day for visiting. KC customised a beautiful tour for us at very last min, taking us around and telling us lot of curiosities. it was an off the beaten track tour, as we wanted and he went beyond our expectations. Kolkata is not an easy city to visit. there is a lot do do and see and going around can be challenging if you're not from there. Having a guide like this, it made everything so smooth and so beautifully pleasant. highly recommended!

If you’re looking for a guide in Kolkata who offers more than just sightseeing, look no further than Kaushik Chatterjee. This guide isn’t in the business of tourism for livelihood—he’s well-read, well-settled, and does this purely to engage his intellect and share his passion for Bengal’s rich heritage. What makes the experience exceptional is the intellectual depth he brings to every interaction. Our custom-designed trip was an unforgettable journey through Kolkata’s layers of history and culture. We explored the city in the iconic Ambassador taxi, rode the metro, commuted on a ferry, and walked nearly 20,000 steps in a single day. Every moment felt like stepping into a live history book. Kolkata, as he presented it, is a city where history breathes through every corner. He unraveled the British Raj era in ways I’d never imagined—explaining not just the buildings but the context behind them. He showed me the hotel where Mahatma Gandhi stayed, first Rosgolla was made and the spot where Subhas Chandra Bose enjoyed his favorite sharbat. He took me to mausoleums and memorials, each with its own intricate tale. We even discussed the history of the “good British” and the “bad British,” and the city’s deep-rooted connections with Jewish, Scottish, Danish, and Armenians. I asked him about the people of Kolkata—the diversity of the crowd, the caste dynamics, the unparalleled importance of Durga Puja, and the city’s art and culture. He shared vivid, accurate accounts that I later verified and found surprisingly on point. From the legacy of Bengal’s eminent personalities to the story of Job Charnock (the founder of Kolkata) and the evolution of Bengal from the 1600s to today, he seamlessly brought centuries of history to life. One of the most remarkable moments was when he spoke about Sutanuti, one of the three villages that formed the foundation of Kolkata. It's rare to meet someone who can weave personal and historical narratives so effortlessly. Through every part of this journey, he encouraged me to ask questions. No query was too small or too challenging, and his answers were always thoughtful and enlightening. I came away with a deeper understanding of Kolkata’s art, culture, and history, and a newfound appreciation for its vibrant present. This wasn’t just a tour; it was an intellectual adventure. If you’re seeking a guide who will enrich your mind as much as your experience, this is the one to choose.

Fantastic tour of Kolkata - heritage and cultural tour was a great way to get to know the city. We did a 3 hour private tour, by car and foot. KC is so knowledgeable and easy to understand. He made the buildings come to life with history, gave us a local tea experience, and walked us through the flower market (a highlight!) He arrived promptly and gave us options for the type of tour we wanted. Highly recommend!

Can’t begin to express how wonderful our day in Kolkata was thanks to Kolkata Story Tours and our guide Kaushik. We learned so much, including many lesser known details that would be missed by many guides, in addition to experiencing an insiders look of the city. Kaushik truly took us on a journey through Kolkata’s history through storytelling and was focused on our comfort and interest at all times.
