St Andrews Church, Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India 8 AM St Andrews Church
Our first destination is St Andrew’s Church which is also known as the Kirk. Completed in 1818 it is the only Scottish church in Kolkata. Designed by M/s Burn, Currie & Co. its steeple was higher than that of the then Anglican Cathedral of Calcutta St. John’s Church. Bishop Middleton was much annoyed with this. Our guide will elaborate more on the controversy regarding the spire which ruffled many feathers!

I had booked the Mother Teresa and Churches tour from Kolkata on TripAdvisor. It was an amazing experience. The tranquility at Mother's house is quite moving. Besides, St Paul's cathedral and St Andrew's Church were spectacular. This is a great way to understand Kolkata's rich heritage and past.

Today I was fortunate to get my host Anirban again for my tour of Mother Theresa's house and missionaries of Charity along with other sights. The St Andrew's Church, St Paul's Cathedral, and my favorite the South Park cemetery. Just a delightful day with a delicious thali lunch and thoughtful as well as amusing commentary by Anirban. Traveling alone at 60 the tour guides have been so essential to making this a magical trip to Kolkata!!

Bratati my tour guide was the best I could ask for she always had a smile on her face, knowledgeable and patient. She also knew various people who allowed us to enter various sites. The transport (private car) was comfortable and had air condition. The highlight of my tour was visiting the House of Mother Theresa. It is a peaceful and spiritual place right in the heart of Kolkata. Thanks Bratati for showing me your town the only thing I would change is perhaps not visit the artisans & pottery otherwise the tour was good.
