Visit the Mother House, see the Marble Palace, watch artisans working in the Kumartuli potter’s quarter, and gain context and background on everything you see. An authentic Bengali lunch and included entry fees, apart from museum admissions, add to the perks.

Fascinating tour of Calcutta highlights

Krystyna_B, Apr 2024

Highly recommended. Highlights were: visiting Mother Teresa’s tomb and workplace in the Sisters of Mercy convent/mother-house; visiting the workshops where effigies and statues are created for Hindu festivals and watching craftsmen at work; the Jain Temple; driving past major buildings dating from British colonial era. Guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. Guide also hosted us for lunch and ate with us, a welcome change from other tours where the guide disappears during lunch, provides no help with ordering. Our guide Anirban was also very flexible as regards adjusting the itinerary according to our preferences. The agency also arranged booking a car the day after for the airport.
