This is the 2nd tour I have done with Soham and Calcutta Capsule and it was fantastic! I learnt so much and had so many interesting conversations! Would recommend to any visiting Kolkata!

From start to finish Soham was just excellent. He was kind and careful for us around traffic and obstacles and showed much concern and kindness. The tour was really wonderful. We saw so many different aspects of the Bara Bazaar market area, and tried different food and drinks along the way. From the publishing/book sellers all around the university area to the markets, vegetables, clothing, etc etc we saw the colours, sites and sounds of Kolkata, definitely the City of Joy. The area is very busy and there is a real buzz of activity. We noticed how friendly and warm the local people were. They smiled and nodded and always responded to a hello from us. Soham told us that people in the area are known for their joy of life and of living a good life not necessarily a life just to make money. That was the feeling. Warmth and happiness. Soham really showed this too in all his help and guidance on the tour. Much appreciate. Highly recommended.

It was my second tour with Soham (first one I did was Magic Hour which was amazing as well). The tour is nicely structured, even we covered busy areas, I didnt feel tired as we had some nice breaks. Soham loves the city and very passionate to share the taste of Kolkata with us. I highly recommend to book the tour!
