Cultural Confluence of Kolkata - Culture Kaleidoscope Tour
Overview
Calcutta is truly a melting pot of cultures and communities… truly a kaleidoscope of various shades, flavors and sights that make Calcutta what it is today! This tour will help you understand a little bit of India and how so many religions and faith form the very fabric which is India.

Going through the hidden gems in the streets of Kolkata was only possible with Calcutta photo tours. Savoured the special delicacies of kolkata available fresh and authentic , right from the age old cooks and chaiwala . The history behind each temple,church, market, people and restored buildings were narrated to us by Manjeet in a very interesting and descriptive way. He even clicked our solo and couple picture in the middle of the street with tram tracks and morning sun sieving through the trees, through his lens.Will surely visit for more with Manjeet ! It was a pleasure exploring calcutta with you !Incredible tour! Loved being a tourist in my home town. My boyfriend was visiting from Scotland and wanted to learn more about why he feels so at home in Calcutta and he knew exactly why after this tour!

Incredible tour! Loved being a tourist in my home town. My boyfriend was visiting from Scotland and wanted to learn more about why he feels so at home in Calcutta and he knew exactly why after this tour! Manjit is funny, insightful and is an amazing host (our chai cup made it back safely to Scotland!) who treated us to some delicious snacks while regaling us with stories of the past and present. Would highly recommend this to anybody visiting the city to fall in love with it more deeply!I love this tour. I've done it now three times. The quality of Manjit's customer base means I meet incredible people each time and, to be frank, Manjit has more stories than he could ever tell about each neighbourhood he takes us to and through.

This tour was one of the best tours of a city that I have ever been on. Manjit is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, passionate, engaging, and charismatic. His walking tour illustrated a side of Kolkata I would never have been able to see on my own, and that truly illustrated the cultural diversity and beauty of the city. I would highly recommend that anyone visiting Kolkata take this tour.We spent a wonderful morning with Manjit on this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed Majit's insight on Kolkata and photography as well as spending time together. Manjit is full of knowledge of the city, talent as a photographer, and the patience of a guide and teacher.

This tour is something that will really make you fall in love with Kolkata. The charming old streets of Kolkata are filled with colours, stories, good vibes and cocktail of cultures with every turn you take. Also, these stories wouldn't have been fun it wasn't Manjeet. That guy is an amazinggggg storyteller (better than my grandmother :P *just Kidding*). Also, he is a professional photographer so that really made it more exciting. PS: you get free editorial classes too from Manjeet :P
