About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- yulianad8520 contributionsA great time in the City of Joy!Yet another fantastic experience! This is the second tour I've booked with Mr. Mukherjee, and as always, it was absolutely brilliant. This time, we explored a true hidden gem: Parshwanath Temple. It's such a breathtaking landmark, and I was genuinely surprised it wasn’t crowded with tourists! Mr. Krishnendu, as expected, was an exceptional guide, providing rich insights throughout the tour. I even managed to do a bit of shopping, making the day even more memorable.Written 26 September 2024
- philipfT8656MN0 contributionsKolcata Trips -- the highlight of our trip to India!Tithankar Mukherhjee and Kolkata trips were the best guides imaginable for an incredible city. After visiting the golden triangle my friend and I decided to visit Kolcata and it was the highlight of an already amazing trip. Tithankar thought of everything and showed us so much more than the city highlights. To help us dive deeper into the city we were joined by a local city guide and historian Krish who explained the history and cultural significance of what we were seeing. This added so much to an already fulfilling experience. And we saw everything! From the colorful flower market to the sombre Mother's House and so much more. Kolkata trips took care of everything and we simply sat back and soaked it all in. My trip to India was life changing and Kolkata stands out as it's pinnacle. I cannot recommend Kolcata trips more. Five stars +++!Written 21 July 2024
- Tamara W0 contributionsThe best of KolkataKolkata Trips provided a comprehensive itinerary for seeing Kolkata up close. Our guide was very knowledgeable of local culture, history, and architecture. The KT team were quite hospitable and willing to alter the planned itinerary according to our interests. They communicated with us before and during our trip, and were always punctual. This tour includes all of the key sites in Kolkata!Written 22 June 2024

Tirthankar was very knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy and super client centric guide. Along with showing us the points of interest, he accommodated our request for shopping and special food requirements! Tirthankar and his driver exhibited perfect attitude and went extra miles to make sure that we were 110% satisfied and that all of our wishlist addressed! We highly recommend Kolkata Trips and Tirthankar Mukherhjee.Written 17 February 2024

We visited so many amazing places in Kolkata that I can't say which one was the best. Parasnath Jain Temple, Flower Market, Kumartuli, Botanic Garden and many other places which would not have been possible to visit without the help of our professional tour leader Mr. Mukherjee. A humble, knowledgeable, polite man who made our trip a memorable experience. If you are planning to visit Kolkata, don't miss this tour!Written 13 February 2024
- Discover067642632910 contributionsKolkata Tour (January 2024)The Kolkata trip was highly informative and well organized. I would recommend the trip to others.

- sais0is0 contributionsPeace and comfortHad a fantastic 8-hour roundtrip to Shantiniketan with our friendly driver and Mukherjee, who accompanied us. Despite Covid-19 restrictions at the university, Mukherjee made sure we enjoyed the visit by being with us. He joined us at the Saturday market, helping us get fair deals. The tour company's dedication to our comfort was evident. The journey was smooth, and having Mukherjee with us made exploring Shantiniketan extra enjoyable. Highly recommend for a stress-free and culturally rich experience—five stars well-deserved!Written 10 December 2023

- larryandrewh0 contributionsInformative and pleasant.Excellent choice and pleasant reprieve after Sights and Sounds of Kolkata. The campus and museum was closed but that deficiency was made up by the excellent guide Mr T Mukerjee. He was informative and sensitive to the nature of his guests. He played and translated the most beautiful music and lyrics written by Tagore throughout the 8 hour drive to and from Kolkata. It was the highlight of the tour.Written 21 October 2023
- larryandrewh0 contributionsInformative and pleasant.The campus was closed, so was the museum. Our views were through the iron fences. However our guide Mukerjee was great and made up for these deficiencies. He was well informed and entertained us with beautiful music of Tagore during the eight hours to and from Shantiniketan. The music and the translation of songs were the highlight of the trip.Written 21 October 2023
- rashnah20200 contributionsVery enjoyable trip to ShantiniketanI went to Shantiniketan on a day trip with Kolkata Trips on 18 September 2023.I was a solo traveller and was a bit apprehensive about such a long car journey on the same day. But Mr Tirthankar Mukherjee was very reassuring. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip as well as the journey. My trip guide entertained me throughout the journey both to and from with wonderful music and videos which of course, was Rabindra Sangeet! In addition, Mr Mukherjee was extremely kind and hospitable and treated me to both breakfast and lunch, for which I am so grateful. Kolkata Trips is great!Written 8 October 2023

Our family (2 adults, their teenage children, + grandparents) cannot stop raving about our Kolkata Trips tour last week. We had a half-day free, and most of us were familiar with the city, so Mr. Mukherjee prepared a very custom tour for us. My senior parents have a bit of limited mobility so it was very convenient that we were picked up right at our guesthouse in an extremely comfortable van. Even though my parents were born and brought up in Kolkata, Mr. Krish, our extremely knowledgeable historian/guide, provided details that were brand new to them. Mr. Krish did an excellent job of narrating the story of Kolkata, including its global context. Our tour featured Flower Market, Howrah bridge, Jain temple, Kumortuli, and College Street.

I had an amazing experience on this tour! It was organized at very short notice, but the flexibility and efficiency were impressive. I was able to visit all the places on my list, and even had time for a relaxing cup of coffee! The car was spotless, and the driver skillfully navigated through heavy traffic. I usually get car sick, but today was smooth sailing.
A heartfelt thank you to my incredible guide, Mr. Krishnendu, whose deep knowledge of Indian history and culture made every moment of the tour both educational and engaging. His insightful commentary brought the sites to life in such a captivating way.
Special thanks to the tour organizer, Mr. Mukherjee, for being so kind and helpful. He looked after me with snacks and took some stunning photos, which I can’t wait to share online.
As for the sights, the Victoria Memorial is a must-see. It’s a grand and magnificent site filled with rich colonial history, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Overall, this tour exceeded all my expectations, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful memories I’ve made!

Tirthankar was the guide when our school with 13 highschool students visited India. Our visit of Kolkata was our first experience in India, and thanks to Tirthankar it was a safe, inspiring, diverse and amazing experience of this city. Tirthankar has the talent to listen well to his clients and to organize a perfectly fitting program. He is flexible, pro-active, knowledgeable, helpful, and always very friendly. We wholeheartedly recommend him as your Kolkata guide.

Mr Rabisankar Pal provided me and my friend with a fantastic tour of Kolkata. He is an excellent and generous host and showed us known and unknown highlights of Kolkata. Among many orher things, he arranged that we could be guests at a private home, witnessing an impressive ceremony. He gave us a locally made candle burner as a present and he invited us to the best chai I ever tasted... at Sharma tea shop. These are only a few things of the string of highlights he provided us with. He is not only an excellent host, but also told us many interesting things. He speaks fluent english and spanish. I highly recommend mr Rabisankar Pal as a guide, and if ever I will return to Kolkata, I will ask for his services!

I was visiting Kolkata with three friends and we took the full day tour with Mr Mukherjee and Mr Krishna. I cannot recommend their services enough. They were incredibly polite, flexible, informative, and attentive. We learned so much about the city and it was a pleasure to spend the day with them. Don’t hesitate to book with them if you are ever looking to explore Kolkata and its surroundings!

The tour with Mr.T Mukherjee and our lovely tour guide was wonderful. We saw sights that I would not think of looking at if I were by myself. The guides were so informative with everything we saw and looked after us especially when crossing the crazy roads. Would 100% recommend this tour over the 3 others we did in Kolkata. Very kind and helpful people.

We had an amazing experience and we would recommend it 100 %.
The tour was informative and fun - we did various activities that we probably wouldn't have done without the help of our local guides Mukherjee and Krish, such as venturing in the small streets of the Flower Market, trying delicious street food or discovering an authentic coffee house in the middle of the University area. We are so grateful for all of that!
The experience was personalised to our interests and schedule, and the guides are so knowledgeable and pleasant to be around.
Will definitely book again when we are back in Kolkata.

The tour has been perfectly balanced on our requirements by mixing the exact amount of culture with a Kolkata’s insider looking. Flexibility and professionalism have been the key words and have driven us through a wonderful and exciting day, never letting us feeling as customers but, always, as two friends taken around town by two caring and trustful local friends, sharing an unbiased, accurate and in-depth view of their lovely town. Clean and very comfortable the car, excellent the driver, we have surely had an exceptional experience!
