5.00Amazing Tour. Although the Tram Museum is encapsulated in an old tramcar, the history of Tram in Calcutta has been very nicely portrayed. It is very disheartening to know that this green transport system is slowly dying with only 2 routes working. The Tram ride and Subway ride was fun.

5.00The guide was excellent. It was a trip down the history lane. The visit to the Tram Museum followed by the Tram Joyride was like seeing vintage machines in live action.

5.00The tour guide Haris was good. The sweetmeat tasting was real fun. We visited the Tipu Sultan's Mosque and the Sacred Heart Church and their history was mind blowing. The tram museum and the tram ride was nostalgic. Got to see the underwater metro also. So this tour was a mix of old and the new in transit system of Kolkata. I will say a must try.
