Though the city was in the midst of a heat wave (it rained the next day), my first visit to Kolkatta was super cool and comprehensive, thanks to the enthusiasm, knowledge and courtesy of Muzzafar Khan. We covered most of our itinerary, winding our way through crowded streets and markets due to his easy expertise. He truly knows Kolkatta,  and more than that, his passion about the city comes through when he shares anecdotes about its rich colonial past or about its culturally vibrant present.  Would recommend his guided tour to anyone who is looking for a comprehensive introduction to this city, get a real feel of  its rhythm and flow in a short time.

A fascinating tour of some of Kolkata's sights. I especially loved the flower market and the pottery quarter, which were full of life, colour and interest. Aditi was a great guide, knowledgeable and thoughtful. It was just a pity that bad traffic meant some things were missed, but not something that can be planned for.

I had a wonderful tour round Kolkata on Monday 12th February 2024 with my excellent guide Muzaffar Khan. His knowledge of the area is extensive and I learnt so much from him about the British influence in Kolkata. I enjoyed seeing the old colonial buildings and also all the other places he took me especially Mother Theresa’s house. My walking is not too good these days, so he was very patient and caring towards me. He is a credit to the La Vacanza Travel company. Graham Warner

I can’t recommend this tour enough - Muzaffa took great care of us as he expertly guided us around the sights, sounds and tastes of Kolkata. You are treated to great hospitality, knowledge and insights as you take in the key locations of the city.

Muzaffar provided our family (2 adults, 2 grade school kids) with a fantastic tour through the bustling Kolkata cityscape. Everything from pre-tour communications through the post-tour drop-off was seamless. Kolkata can seem like an overwhelming city to get through, especially when you're taking two kids (7 and 10) along for the duration of the tour. Muzaffar and the driver, however, made it seem effortless. He explained every site we visited and sprinkled his tour insights with his own observations on modern India within the context of the tour. His commentary was appropriated tailored to both the adults and the kids in our family, and we felt that it really gave us authentic insights into the history and modern evolution of Kolkata. This is what a quintessential tour should be. The tour also picked us up from one hotel with all of our luggage and dropped us off at a different hotel on the other side of town to accommodate our own itinerary.
