Summary:
Saha provided a great tour for our group of nine people! We got picked up straight from our hotel, and were driven around in very clean and comfortable cars. The tour was expansive and we got to see most of the main sights of the city, while learning about the interesting and extensive history of each spot. Saha was very knowledgeable and was very good at articulating the stories of Calcutta, and kept us engaged throughout. The pace was also good - not spending too much time anywhere while not being hurried either. Had a nice picnic, with time for lunch built in as well. Overall, it was an amazing time and I would recommend to anyone who wants to see and learn about the city.
