Viator gave us EXCELLENT service and a refund for the guide's No Show!

Donald_T, May 2026

Our Tour Guide Never Showed. We got to the gate at Victoria Memorial before 630 am which was the meeting time and were there until after 730 am. Both Viator and we messaged this company several times that morning while we were there with no response until about 2 hours after the meeting time. Additionally, Viator and we called their office number several times with no response and no opportunity to leave a voice mail. Later they said no one is in the office until 9 am so that's why no one answered! So, we request a refund from this vendor for the lack of a tour this morning that neither Viator nor we could establish contact with the company or the tour guide to see what the issue was. The refused to refund our fees. So, we appealed to Viator, they investigated, and Viator gave us the refund. Now that is true customer service!

Perfect name for a tour

Go! This was a great tour before the day gets too hot. We had the best guide we could ever hope for and her knowledge, joy, and flexibility made for the most amazing day. Kolkata is beautiful and it really opened itself up to us as it awakened.

Early morning in Kolkata

Our guide for Chasing the Sun tour was Moinak. It's an early start but we'll worth the effort. Mounak is very knowledgeable about Kolkata and took us to places most tourists would never venture to. Joining the locals on an early morning bus and plenty of stops for cups of chai and finishing with a particularly good breakfast. Book this tour with confidence. A great way to see Kolkata wake up.
