  • 15/1, Strand Rd, Fairley Place, B.B.D. Bagh, Kolkata, West Bengal 700001, India
  • Writers' Building, Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India
    8AM- Shared walk starts from Writers Building. Our first destination is the Writer’s building, which had a very humble beginning. Built in 1777, it was meant for the lower bureaucracy of East India Company. Today this Greco-Roman masterpiece is the seat of the West Bengal state government. Our guide will narrate to you all the landmark events which took place in India’s freedom struggle with the Writers Building as the backdrop. Since this is a working office, we will see it from outside.

  • 2/2, Council House St, B.B.D. Bagh, Kolkata, West Bengal 700001, India
    We will walk to the Mausoleum of Job Charnock the founder of modern Kolkata. In 1690 Charnock bought the villages of Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata from Bengal subedar Azim Usman and over time Kolkata became the capital of East India Company. A recent High Court ruling has discredited him as the founder of Kolkata after looking at evidence of the existence of the city in earlier times!
    30 minutes
  • St. John's Church, Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India
    Our next destination is St John’s Church, which was built in 1787 by architect James Agg. This majestic stone and brick structure became the principal Cathedral of Calcutta in 1815. A highlight of his Church is the “Last Supper” painting on its walls.
    45 minutes
  • Raj Bhavan, Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India
    - The Governor’s House is a remarkable building which was built for Marquess of Wellesley who came to Kolkata as the Governor General of East India Company in 1798 and found his rented accommodation unsuitable! Built in 1803 by the famous English architect Charles Wyatt, the Governor’s House follows a Neoclassical style with distinct Baroque overtones. The building became the residence of the Viceroy of India after the Crown took over the reins of India from East India Company. Today it serves as the office and residence of the Governor of the state of West Bengal and hence we will see it from outside.
    45 minutes
  • Victoria Memorial Hall, 1, Queens Way, Maidan, Kolkata, West Bengal 700071, India
    We walk to the legendary Victoria Memorial built by George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston and Viceroy of India. Dedicated to Queen Victoria, this architectural gem built in marble is a great place to experience the essence of Victorian-era set in the middle of the hustle and bustle of modern Kolkata. 1230PM Walk ends at Victoria Memorial

The British Raj walk was a exhilarating experience with Abhishek. He was punctual and very well read about the colonial history of Kolkata. We visited the famous Writer's building and then proceeded to memorial of founder of the city. Abhishek also took us to the oldest museum of India and explained about the collection very well. Victoria memorial was the highlight of the walk.

The British raj walk in Kolkata is a fantastic way of exploring Kolkata. Sauvik took us to all the prominent landmarks like the Writers building, Victoria memorial, Museum, Charnock memorial and St John's church. He told us interesting stories about each of these monuments and how they shaped modern Kolkata. The food was also fantastic. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who has 3 hours in Kolkata.
