5.00Mr. Ariff escorted us through the 6:30 AM Heritage tram tour. His knowledge of the city and its history combined with all the visuals from the tram ride of early morning Kolkata life, made it a truly immersive experience. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Adda, Alumni, and East Bengal: Rediscovering Kolkata’s Heartbeat!

5.00Mr. Arif and Haris took me through sights and sounds of central to north Kolkata that I had never truly experienced, despite growing up here and doing my UG at Presi. It was my first purposeful Kolkata tour in 23 years since moving away. The icing on the fun cake—both of them turned out to be Assembly of God alumni and passionate East Bengal supporters! Keep rocking, guys.

Rumbling Back in Time

4.00An enjoyable few hours travelling on the only tram lines still running in Kolkata. An early start whilst the city was just waking up meant there was lots to see without all the traffic. We were given an incredibly generous bag of snack and drinks, so much so that we were still snacking on them over the following week. The trams are pretty much as they would have been when they first started, don’t expect a running commentary though as they are very noisy. They don’t have the ever present horns of the other road users but it took my wife to point out how the driver was ringing his bell. Go while you still can, it’s an experience you will remember.

5.00An enjoyable few hours early morning riding the heritage Kolkata trams. The ride was noisy and bumpy but it was great seeing the city as it woke up. Our hosts provided us with very generous snacks, drinks and some souvenir postcards. Our final stop was at the moving ‘Mother house’ where Mother Teresa had lived.
Poor experience

2.00It wasn’t value for money. The tram-ride was nice, but the guide didn’t know much about it. The tram-museum is a poor experience. It looked as though he didn’t care much. The subway-ride wasn’t very special. It should have contained something one cannot arrange for one-self. We could have done this ourselves for a fraction of the price.
