- vacation-wallah0 contributionsLived up to our expectationsMuzaffar The boys and I would like to thank you for a lovely afternoon. The tour was immensely enjoyable. The various different sites /activities selected gave us a nice insight into the city’s past as well as its current life. Was a lovely cultural exposure for the boys. It was well paced; we covered a lot of ground but did not feel at all rushed. Muzaffar was very accommodating of our requests, a pukka gentleman. Thank you! Definitely recommendWritten 8 January 2025

- GrandTour330658498530 contributionsKolkata first time ❤️I went on a kolkata visit trip with my friends on 8 December and Mr Muzaffar Khan sir was the one who made my first time in kolkata a beautiful memory which I will cherish my whole life. I was on a business trip so was not able to explore my of Kolkata on my own but with the tour he gave of the city from Eden gards to Old British colonial buildings from traveling in ferries to visiting the famous Howrah bridge to ending the trip in the most famous place "Indian Coffee House". He made sure we are hydrated all the time and as we wanted to explore all things so if we were taking time in clicking pictures and making videos he waited for us patiently and even helped us by clicking our pictures on best spots there were which made us feel a warmth throughout the trip. Thank you for this amazing journey Mr Muzaffar and thank you city of joy 😊🙏Written 16 December 2024
- Explore655643611850 contributionsFantastic tour if you want to learn to appreciate the beauty of Kolkata amidst its chaosIn one word, the Hello Calcutta tour was fantastic, exactly what I had hoped for and more. Muzaffar was very flexible/accommodating during our entire interaction-when we asked for a later start time, adding newer bucket list activities like taking the tram etc. I had tons of questions and suggestions to ask for and Muzaffar was kind and patient enough to answer all of them. We didn't miss any part of the itinerary and in fact, Muzaffar was very generous with his time and never tried to rush us, took so many photos that I'd never have taken had I explored solo and took us to best local spots for yum food. By the end of the tour, I felt a connection towards the City of joy (which was missing in the past 1 week I had been here) and now makes me want to explore this ancient, culturally rich city in even more depth. Just go for this tour without any hesitation.Written 8 December 2024
- Q4942EEchlo_m0 contributionsSolo Travel Day TourThis tour was simply amazing! Muzaffar was a great guide, super friendly and made me feel very welcome into Kolkata.

- Jennifer H0 contributionsKolkata revisited after 62 years!I searched for tours of Kolkata and discovered Muzaffar’s tours which had excellent reviews. I got in touch via WhatsApp and he responded immediately. It was important for me to see specific sites as I was born in Kolkata and was returning after 62 years so wanted to visit all the main sites but also ones specific to when I lived there. Muzaffar was happy to include any places I wanted to visit so I booked. My adult daughter and I were picked up punctually from our hotel in a very comfortable a/c SUV. Bottled water was supplied and delicious snacks and very good Indian coffee at the Indian Coffee Shop - a must stop. A lovely touch was being bought the poet Gitanjsli’s small book of poetry with the original Bengali on one page and English translation on the other. Also a beautiful bouquet each from the flower market. Muzaffar was very knowledgeable on Kolkata and went out of his way to find the address where I lived as a young child which really made the tour. He also took us to Nizams restaurant, the inventors of the kati roll - absolutely delicious. We did the 8 hr tour which overran to accommodate some of the places I wanted to visit. I have no hesitation in recommending Muzaffar and his driver who looked after us and gave us an exceptional tour of Kolkata. Thank you Muzaffar.Written 4 November 2024

His professionalism and knowledge of Kolkata truly enhanced our experience, as he shared fascinating insights about the city. His recommendation for an authentic Kolkata restaurant was spot on. Muzaffar was also incredibly accommodating, giving us the time we needed to fully take in the sights and immerse ourselves in the vibrant spirit of Kolkata. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and I’m already looking forward to another unforgettable vacation in this wonderful City of Joy. You made my time here even more memorable. Thank you and stay blessed, Muzaffar!Written 18 August 2024
- benjaminbL2608BY0 contributionsAn Incredible Way to Experience Kolkata!I cannot recommend this tour more highly, as it's a great way to see Kolkata's highlights. Although I only spent three days in Kolkata, I left there feeling like I really knew the place I'd visited thanks to this tour. Muzaffar is extremely welcoming, accommodating, and knowledgeable about Kolkata. He kindly greeted me with snacks and plenty of water to help me push through the summer heat. I appreciated his willingness to indulge my curious questions and adapt to my needs, like spending more time at the Victoria Memorial or helping me find a phone charger at a local market when mine broke. Having just returned from traveling Asia for nearly a month, I can easily say that Muzzaffar was one of my best tour guides I've had! I also appreciate his driver's timely, door-to-door service and deft ability to navigate Kolkata's traffic. (Regrettably, I don't remember his name.) Thanks again for a wonderful tour! I hope to revisit Kolkata someday and will be sure to reach out if I do.Written 2 August 2024

Our Tour Guide, Muzaffar Khan, was fantastic. He gave us a tour that explained the history of Kolkata as it pertains to the current situation in Kolkata. We toured the: Flower market under the bridge, the area where artisans created the straw statues of the gods/goddesses for the Festival. We visited the "Black Hole of Kolkata and the historical graveyard. He was able to make historical events come alive. He was also a great conversationalist as to current events in India. My wife and I found him to be a wealth of information.

I never thought it would be possible for women to explore the city of Kolkata alone. Muzaffar was our tour guide. Within minutes of meeting Muzaffar I felt we were in safe hands. Three women from Dallas, Kentucky and Melbourne met in Bangladesh and boarded a flight to Kolkata. As soon as we boarded the air conditioned vehicle, Muzaffar gave us the itinerary for the three-day trip with drinks and breakfast. On the first day we had a jam packed program covering all the highlights of Kolkata city. We started our first day at Mother Teresa's house and ended by watching a Bengali play at the Academy of Fine Arts.
Muzaffar was an excellent tour guide. He is knowledgeable, smart, friendly, funny, all excellent qualities a tour guide should have. He impressed us regularly with his knowledge of significant and historical landmarks in Kolkata. I would like to visit Kolkata many more times in the future and would choose Muzaffar again as my tour guide without any hesitation.

We loved our tour with Muzaffar on a recent trip to Kolkata. Often when you book a tour like this you have to trust it covers enough to get a feel for the area.
Muzaffar did this in an expert way, like the best teacher weaving each bit of information into a colorful story. We learned so much and experienced the city in a way we will never forget.
When we booked, we were disappointed to know that the Mother House of Mother Teresa was closed on Thursdays. Much to our delight, it was our very first stop. Muzaffar knows EVERYONE!
Other highlights included bananas at the flower market, coffee and snacks at the coffee house, and our favorite surprise, the best sweet milk tea at the Kumartuli (the potters quarter) where we saw hundreds of idols being prepared for the 10 day festival, Durga Puja.
Spending the day with Muzaffar is like hanging out with the guy who knows everyone. We highly recommend this tour and Tour De Kolkata.

I did a half day 5 hour private tour of Kolkata with Muzaffar in November which included airport pick up and drop off (1 hour each way on top) and was truly impressed by the quality of his service which I'd describe as white glove service.
From being picked up at the airport by Muzaffar and his driver in a nice Toyota compact SUV with AC blasting, to his ability to answer all my myriad of questions about Kolkata and India and the practiced tour he gave which covered every possible interesting sight I'd want to see of the real Kolkata, I was very impressed with the entire tour and it really eased my fears of travelling to India as a solo female traveller. I'd highly recommend a private tour for small groups with Muzaffar if you are thinking of visiting Kolkata. He also knows all the best spots to take photos and takes lovely photos for you without having to be asked, the hallmark of an experienced and savvy tour guide. The private tour was not expensive at all compared to its quality and value, and it may be cheaper if you book direct on his website.

We only had 1 day to spend in Kolkata and decided to visit it with Muzzafah... We did not regret it! He brought us to all the sights we had identified during our planning and shared a lot about his city, his region and his country.
Throughout the day, we discovered some sides of the city which I doubt we would have seen on our own, and felt very safe. The tempo was perfect for us, with a few breaks for tea/snacks, to discuss about the history of some sites and, in general, get a feeling for the city: how it used to be, how it is today, how it will likely be for our next trip.
I highly recommend getting in touch with Muzzafah to visit Kolkata or even West Bengal. His care, attention to detail in the planning and broad knowledge of the region will make your trip unique!

So glad we did this tour with the super friendly and knowledgable guide Muzzafar! He turned up as promised and picked us from the lobby of our hotel, and as soon as we met him, we knew we were in for a special time. He was warm and friendly, and we felt so comfortable being with him, and letting him show us around.
Muzzafar has a passion for his home city, and he transferred that passion and awe to us as he showed us arounf the 'City of Joy'.
We have been on quite a few tours on our travels, and hands down I must say this was the best.
Muzzafar never rushed us, he made sure we had cold drinking water, food and treats to eat along the way, and he even bought us a bunch of flowers! How nice was that!
We are truly grateful to you Muzzafar 'bhai' for taking such good care of us, and making us feel at 'home' with you.
Book this tour, and you will not be dissapointed!

Muzaffar was exceptional. He is calm and peaceful in the midst of the bustling chaos in his city of Kolkata. He showed us the city is great detail from top to bottom and made us feel like true guests. Muzaffar was so knowledgeable and engaging that we got to see the city as it really is. We definitely want to come back and experience his other educational opportunities in the near future.

It was an amazing experience! I highly recommend this tour, especially if you don't have many days to explore the city. We got to see and visit the main sights, with the comfort of a great air-conditioned car. With moments of snacks and unexpected gifts during the tour, kindly offered by the guide. The guide is very sociable, friendly, flexible, understandable and excellent at presenting aspects of the city. If I have another opportunity, I will do other tours with this agency!

My parents and I are from Australia and had an afternoon tour booked with Muzaffar. Only problem was there was cyclone Dana this day..still we were lucky enough that Muzaffar was still happy to take us on a tour even with some flooding present in the city. I tell you what, it was 100000% worth it! We had the absolute best time and it has encouraged me to come back to Kolkata to learn more. Muzaffar was so friendly, intriguing and had so much knowledge to share on the interesting history of Kolkata. We could have talked about it for hours. The places we went to were well worth a visit , especially Mother House house which I found particularly moving. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are keen to get a taste of Kolkata, only problem is you will definitely want to stay longer once you have the tour!

Hello, we are interested in doing this tour, and are wondering if the car ride is air conditioned? As it is quite hot and humid in May, would it be possible to limit the amount of time spent walking outside?
Written 17 May 2022
Yes, the car was very strongly air conditioned. It was a very nice Toyota compact SUV. There was not too much walking outside from my point of view, but I would expect a reasonable amount since you are there to see the city.
