Calcutta Capsule

Every morning, before the sun is up; as the street lamps of Calcutta go off, we start the Magic hour tour to watch Calcutta Wake up. We hop on to the first bus of the day from the oldest neighborhood of Calcutta as the city enters the enchanting Magic Hour. Meandering through the sleepy 300 year locality in full throttle ,the next few hours are spent visiting the oldest areas of Calcutta. Before the bustling giant city wakes up we’d have used all the iconic modes of transport, had breakfast in a century old hidden spot, gossiped about Calcutta like a Local, talked about its history, anthropology and fallen desperately in Love with the city. The “unguided tour” as we call it starts with Chai (tea) in a bhaad (earthen cups) and finishes with traditional Bengali breakfast, the best sweets of Calcutta. Highlights : Oldest residential area of Calcutta Local transport Howrah Bridge Flower Market Idol Making Village Traditional Breakfast no Historical overdrive Experience like a local

    I did the Magic Hour tour the day I arrived in Kolkata & it was such brilliant introduction to the city. I had booked based on what other reviews said & it was all true! I loved seeing the different areas of the city, hearing some of the history & the travel between the areas. Soham was a perfect guide & amazing photographer & answered my endless questions about Kolkata & life in India generally:) The tour is definitely worth getting up early for, I’ll be recommending it to anyone I know visiting Kolkata.

    This is hands down the best city tour I have ever had, and I’ve been on a few. Soham brings Calcutta to life as the city is waking up, in a carefully curated and very enjoyable tour. He loves his city and is a magnificent story teller, exposing you to different parts of the city as it is today and utilising all forms of transport to get to the next stop. I learnt so much about the city’s history and how it functions. Soham tells you just enough and is very attentive to everyone’s needs. Don’t miss this tour! Next time I visit Calcutta I will try one of Soham’s other tours.

  • A great introduction to Kolkata

    I took this tour after arriving in Kolkata the night before, so it was the very first thing I did, and it was a fantastic introduction to the city. It was well worth the early start, and Soham's approach of sharing his own experience as a local is very effective. We covered a lot of ground, but the pace also allowed for several stops where we could pause and take in our surroundings. I combined this with Soham/Calcutta Capsule's other tours, and also stayed at his family's accommodation, which all worked really well together, but of course you can pick whatever works for you. In any case, I would highly recommend this tour.

  • Amazing tour! I wholeheartedly recommend!

    Soham was the best host one could wish for to discover Kolkata and experience the heartbeat of the city. He was incredibly kind and made me feel at ease right away — knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. I don’t want to spoil too many surprises, so I’ll just mention a few highlights: the flower market, the bridge, the idol-making workshop… but there’s so much more in between! Every stop revealed something new, unexpected, and full of life. This tour is rich, fun, and incredibly beautiful. I learned so much and felt truly privileged to witness, listen, and take part in the daily rhythm of Kolkata. Soham also helped me capture some of the most beautiful images of the morning — a wonderful surprise that allowed me to bring home precious memories of this unique experience. It’s absolutely worth waking up early for — don’t hesitate for a second. This tour is an exceptional opportunity to discover the city’s history, culture, and soul in the most authentic way. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kolkata!

    Soham took me on a journey to experience Kolkata as the woke up on a Monday morning. So much different things I learned from historical, architectural standpoint, uniqueness about Kolkatas daily livelihood. What a thoughtfully put together itinerary to experience an iconic city. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are visiting Kolkata. Enjoyed the food selection, the variety of modes of transportation. It was such a pleasure to meet Soham.

    I am still reeling with excitement from this thrilling experience. The Magic Hour Tour was...magical! Soham, the guide extraordinaire, couldn't have done a better job at leaving a lasting positive impression. I have never met a guide who simultaneously manages all the operational intricacies of a complex tour while keeping his composure throughout, being very professional, polite, accommodating and pleasant. It was so heartwarming to observe him interact with people that crossed our paths during the tour. The Magic Hour Tour began promptly at 05:30 and within minutes Soham was already pointing out unique cultural elements of Calcutta. There was never one boring moment and time flew fast! Without a single doubt this is one tour that must not be missed!

    It was a lot of fun. Thank you for your guide, Mr. Soham. The four-hour tour was quick. He told me about the transition of Kolkata from the past to the present. It was a great experience to travel in the back alleys of the market, in yellow cabs, in liqueurs, on buses and on boats, where you couldn't go alone. As the title of the tour suggests, the city gradually changed from the quiet of Kolkata in the morning, which was a lot of fun. Mr. Soham, our guide, was very knowledgeable and explained it in a very easy way. It was a tour that included everything I wanted to experience in Kolkata and go to. If I had the chance, I would have liked to go on another tour. It was a very fulfilling tour.

  • A refreshing and fun filled tour

    Soham took me on an extraordinary tour of early morning Calcutta. He is so knowledgeable and accommodating, flexible to every need. I loved the tour of the street that makes idols, as well as his commentary on British period conflicts. Be sure to ask him about the black hole of Calcutta, he is full of information, with good English. Many guides just spout memorized facts to you with no interaction. This is not the case with Solhan, and he will not take you to a gift shop! That fact alone makes him a standout.
