He's been providing city tours for six years. We saw some of my favorite places in the morning, such as Mother Teresa House, The Flower Market, Howrah Bridge and the Potter's Market. Khan dropped me off at my hotel for lunch about 1:00 and picked me up at 2:00. We continued the tour until about 5:30 PM. Khan and his driver (don't recall name) are pleasant and I felt comfortable with them. It was a good day!neha p

Muzaffar is a tour guide of great excellence. He weaves tales and histories of the places in Kolkata that take you back in time and this creates a connection with the place. I wanted to tour Kolkata by knowing the background, and not just strolling in the streets with a blank mind. Muzaffar did exactly this. Also, he is a gentleman and very polite. He was kind enough to carry my shopping bags and camera :) plus, he took so many amazing photos of me and these will be always close to my heart. Out of the three tour guides I met in Kolkata, Muzaffar was the best. I would highly recommend him whenever one wants to explore Kolkata with deep knowledge. I would definitely use his services again when I visit Kolkata next year with family :) cheers!
