We had a fantastic 'Wake up with the city' tour with Polo in October. Honestly one of the best walking tours we have ever done. Polo's love and knowledge of her city and its history was inspirational. (Read More) She showed us sights we would never have seen without her. We loved the stops with Polo adding her own prose. Fantastic, worth every rupee.

Being from Kolkata, I thought I knew my city. But Get Local proved me wrong. I saw the quiet charm of the city with early morning sun shining on familiar streets with stories by Paulami, an experience (Read More) every calcuttan should experience. And what made it the best was the stories narrated by Paulami which connected the streets, the monuments, the history, the culture and the daily life of the city. Today's walk is a reminder that you don't need to go out of the city to rediscover it but to look at it differently.

I really enjoyed this guided tour of Kolkata. It gave me the opportunity to see the city at a time of day I am not usually out, which offered a completely different and very interesting perspective. T (Read More)he guide - Paulami - seemed well prepared and was always attentive to my needs. She was also kind, patient, and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more pleasant.

The Chasing The Sun tour was a lovely experience. Splendidly guided by Paulami, we strolled into the various lifelines of Kolkata as they wake up to the rising sun. Interspersed with beautiful prose p (Read More)ieces narrated by her, we experienced the beauty in little things - that are not so little at all. Walking through thriving lanes, traveling in buses and autos and metros, eating heritage food - you feel like a local, one who is in touch with the heartbeats of the city. The Midtown Madness tour by Rishita was a great experience as well - you get to tickle your taste buds with classic and hidden gems of the Kolkata street food scene. It’s not just food though - you also get to turn back time in the narrow alleys of Shobhabazar, and get a taste of life of North Kolkata.
