Discover Kolkata in a few hours on a private sightseeing tour that combines historic landmarks, vibrant local markets, traditional neighbourhoods, and the everyday character of the city. With private transportation and an English-speaking local guide, explore some of Kolkata's most recognisable places while learning about the history and culture behind them.
Begin at Mother House, associated with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity, before continuing towards St. John's Church. Located in the historic central part of Kolkata, the church offers an insight into the city's colonial past and architectural heritage.
Continue to Malik Ghat Flower Market, one of Kolkata's most colourful and lively local markets. Located beneath the iconic Howrah Bridge, the market is filled with flower vendors and shoppers and provides a glimpse into the rhythm of everyday life in the city.
From the flower market, see Howrah Bridge and continue towards Kumartuli, Kolkata's traditional potters' quarter. Explore its narrow lanes and discover the workshops where local artisans create detailed clay figures and sculptures, particularly for the city's major festivals.
Continue towards College Street, one of Kolkata's best-known book districts and an important part of the city's intellectual and cultural life. Browse the historic book-lined streets and, depending on timing, stop for tea or coffee and snacks at the Indian Coffee House.
The tour can be adjusted according to your interests and available time, allowing you to focus more on Kolkata's history, culture, markets, architecture, or local neighbourhoods. After exploring the selected attractions, return comfortably to your hotel or preferred location in Kolkata.
