Ended up doing this again, but with friends. It was a fantastic experience. Avik made sure everyone was well taken care of and always went the extra mile to accomodate each of us. He answered all of our questions and more and filled both our bellies and our brains and souls. If you're in Kolkata, you must do this tour.

Avik was truly wonderful, we enjoyed everything that was there in the food tasting and he took so good care of us throughout, his knowledge about the city is top notch and overall I recommend this experience to all first timers in Kolkata

All in all, this was a very good tour! Avik was very knowledgeable, compelling, and very accommodating. Kind too!

To name a few places, we went to a an old temple that predated an also very old, rustic neighborhood, essentially captured in time, and saw college square.

You should definitely come ready to EAT - for the price and experience, it was worth it!

Food highlights for me: ice cream, pani puri, pomegranate mango lassi, and chai

The only thing I can say that I didn't like was the hand-pulled rickshaw: Although Avik assured me that there was no human exploitation going on, it still just didn't sit right with me. This practice was started by the British and it feels in poor taste as a foreigner to help carry on, though it does serve an essential purpose for some locals. I believe taking an auto rickshaw would be far more interesting, exhilarating, and relevant to how most people travel in the city, besides taking the bus or walking of course.

I would for sure recommend!

I loved this tour! Avik made the experience unique. He shared his knowledge and made me try the most delicious food I've ever had. I'm incredibly grateful for this experience and I definitely suggest anyone to do it.
