The British had sought to build ‘the second city of the Empire’ right here and it is this ‘building’ that we’ll show you in the course of our walk through the ‘European’ areas of what was once the capital of the British Empire in India. There are major plans to beautify and restore this heritage site with its rich and varied architectural styles. One of our most popular walks serves as the perfect introduction to British Calcutta and gives you a sneak peek into what went into the making of the Colonial Capital of India. So prepare to whet your appetite for all things Raj.

Essential Dalhousie Square walking tour

5.00It was chance really, that we picked this tour on a Sunday when the streets were quieter than on a week day. There were around 15 of us, all expertly led by Ram who certainly knows his stuff and who has an encyclopaediac knowledge of this historic area. It's a shame that so many of the buildings have obviously seen better days and have been allowed to deteriorate, but this did not detract from what was a very enjoyable three hours' walk though Kolkata's colonial past. Highly recommended and I would join this tour again.
Sign up - it's well worth it!

5.00A walk I would recommend hands down. Informative and enriching. Tuhina's passion and love for her city is infectious. My only complaint is the slow response. Iftekhar did not reply to my WhatsApp message for days leaving me to wonder if I had the wrong contact number. And neither did Tuhina respond to my message sent after the tour was over. So be prepared to be patient. A little more professionalism would be hugely appreciated.
A wonderful walking tour of Calcutta!

5.00We took a walking tour of the Dalhousie area in Calcutta with Ifte and it was an excellent experience! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history. His stories and insights gave us a wonderful feel for the place, bringing the colonial architecture and history to life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the city beyond the usual tourist spots!
Three separate and excellent tours

5.00Vedant was an excellent guide because he was knowledgeable, patient, flexible and with outstanding spoken English delivered perfectly audibly We took the Confluence of Cultures tour, the Flower Market, River and Potter District tour and the White Town/Raj tour. Having a driver to take us from our hotel to a sensible walking tour start point and being there to collect us at the end to return us to the hotel was very worthwhile.
Great Experience

5.00We had 4 different walks over 2 days and whilst we broadly followed the standard route, Tuhina modified it a little to take in the Surveyors Government department which was a specific interest for us. Tuhina is the best guide we have ever had in all the years we have travelled due to her immense knowledge, her excellent English and her way of making everything so interesting. She was very helpful in getting us into the Surveyors private library and for that I am very grateful. I am sure the other guides are excellent too but we felt very lucky with Tuhina. Fascinating tours done so professionally. Thank you!
Tuhina was brilliant. A must do in our opinion
