A nice tour in the old Kolkata. The guide accommodated our request to see in addition the flower market and brought us to have a tea at Oberoi Grand Hotel, which actually made the tour complete and very exciting. A bustling morning in the Sunday flower market is unforgettable. Despite the heat, we managed to see a lot of things, complemented by a lot of information shared by the guide.

Chandrae was amazing !! I think I saw all of Kolkata from the working class to the elite…. From Catholic to Buddhist to Jewish places of worship… from Mother Theresa’s home to beautiful apartment buildings to wholesalers to ceramic creators to markets. Lunch was wonderful. Indian food made without spices and dessert was spectacular.
