Highlights
Take this tour to get local in one day!
Discover Kolkata with our innovative tour that takes you on a cinematic journey to witness her different shades, to learn how she has evolved into what we know as 'The City of Joy'.
This tour is curated by drawing inspiration from filmmaking, a completely new style of walking tours which we call 'Cinematic Tours'. We personify Kolkata for you to connect with her on a personal level. This tour is based off of a story which we refer to as 'The Script', the locations selected are based on the story-line and the guide plays the role of a narrator weaving a real-time storyboard.
This experience will give you a proper orientation of Kolkata so that you feel confident to be by yourself and feel like a local.
