Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Calcutta Capsule, Raja Dinendra Street, Kolkata (Calcutta) 700004 India

Every morning, before the sun is up; as the street lamps of Calcutta go off, we start the Magic hour tour to watch Calcutta Wake up.
We hop on to the first bus of the day from the oldest neighborhood of Calcutta as the city enters the enchanting Magic Hour. Meandering through the sleepy 300 year locality in full throttle ,the next few hours are spent visiting the oldest areas of Calcutta.
Before the bustling giant city wakes up we’d have used all the iconic modes of transport, had breakfast in a century old hidden spot, gossiped about Calcutta like a Local, talked about its history, anthropology and fallen desperately in Love with the city.
The “unguided tour” as we call it starts with Chai (tea) in a bhaad (earthen cups) and finishes with traditional Bengali breakfast, the best sweets of Calcutta.

Soham was energetic and knowledgeable and the tour was a great way to experience Kolkata in a relatively short amount of time. We covered an amazing amount of ground with I think four modes of transport, and visited many iconic areas of the city. Breakfast was the perfect way to round off the morning.

The magical hour tour was so incredible. It really made my experience in Calcutta extra special. Soham was so knowledgeable, personable and helpful as our tour guide. We spent 4 wonderful hours trapsing across the old parts of the city by foot, cab and ferry, at the best time of day, early morning! Calcutta is a charming, sentimental, special place and Soham was brilliant in illustrating this through sharing his local golden insights and talented storytelling. I so look forward to touring again with Calcutta Capsule tours and very highly recommend this tour.

This was one of the best tours I’ve been on! It was so immersive and perfectly placed, covering more than enough ground (and rivers!). Soham’s passionate storytelling added tonnes of value to the experience. The tour lives up to its name. Highly recommended!
