★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hands down the best part of our Calcutta trip. Soham is smart, kind, personable, and knowledgeable. His passion for his hometown is contagious. He’ll take you to the secret spots the guidebooks wish they knew about. We loved the Magic Hour Tour so much, we ended up doing the fascinating and delicious Alleyway Food Tour, too! Every location well-chosen and perfectly-curated. It’s perfect if you want to try to the street food but have no idea where to start. Soham will even do custom tours if there’s something special you want to see. Don’t hesitate for a minute - any of Soham’s tours will be the most memorable highlight of your journey. Congratulations, Soham, we cannot thank you enough! Wishing you continued success for 2020 and beyond!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I booked a pandal hopping tour and Soham was exceptional, covering everything I was looking for from pandals to iconic street food to ambassador rides all beautifully woven together. He was also instrumental in the success of my rest of the trip helping set up the itinerary for the rest of the trip. I was impressed enough to book another tour on the Dussehra day.
I have had a lot of walking tour around the world and I can confidently say he is one of the best in the business.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When you are a tourist, you have two options - you either book a tour with a random tour company, visit all the cliché tourist points, click a picture of yourself holding the monument in your palm, buy a fridge magnet or two, eat a local dish your neighbor suggested and come back or you book tours with a company like Calcutta Capsule and go for a customized tour where you imbibe the originality of the place you're travelling to. That is something that had happened to me. Soham from Calcutta Capsule made me feel like a local, enrichening each moment of the time I was there in Kolkata. He was more focused in the small bylanes than grand buildings, the tram than Uber GOs with no AC, plethora of small sweet shops and breakfast places than a 5 star restaurant where the food just pretends to be Bangali. Thank you Calcutta Capsule and Soham for making me fall in love with the essence of Kolkata, its roads, its food and its people. Thinking of coming back again!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Someone reviewed this experience as THE best experience on airBnB. That’s why I booked it. That is also a VERY HIGH BAR. For me, this kind of expectation is rarely met. Soham - with his Magic Hour Calcutta Capsule experience - EXCEEDED my expectations. I’ve traveled the world extensively and have been on countless tours and excursions, and I’d rank Soham’s tour easily in my top 3. So why was this tour so good? First, and rarely have I ever felt this way, Soham immediately felt like a friend showing me around his city. He does not have the air of a talking head “tour guide”. Calcutta is very personal to him - say 4 generations - and his tour embodies that. As you read about this tour, you might be thinking “a 5 hour walking tour? are you crazy?”. Our tour actually lasted more like 6 hours, and yet, at the end, I left feeling somehow refreshed. Soham has masterfully crafted an experience where you travel by foot, taxi, tram, bus, and boat in a way that keeps you from getting bored by any one medium of travel.
Aside from the efficiency of these forms of travel which help cover a lot of ground and get you quickly around Calcutta (a real feat in itself), you will get to EXPERIENCE these forms of travel the way locals do. In fact, I did not see a single foreigner traveling the way we were. Because Soham knows what he’s doing, you, as the guest, get to soak in the experience and not worry about getting on or off at the right time or what direction you’re going. As if taking fun transportation to awesome locations wasn’t enough, Soham weaves a foodie experience into the whole deal (he has a separate foodie only tour as well). Sip chai tea with locals. Eat on the side of the road. If you have a sweet tooth like me, you might just end on a very sweet note.
And the icing on the cake of all of this? Soham takes photos throughout the experience. A day after the tour he WhatsApp’d me a couple of me on the tour. Oh, did I say I got to play cricket in the large field in front of the Victoria Memorial? I did. And I have photo proof thanks to him. I can’t say enough good things about Soham and this tour. Just sign up for it. Do it now. This is the REAL experience of Calcutta that you’re looking for. It truly is magical, and it’s a rare and beautiful thing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It doesn’t happen every day that you want to wake up at 5 am on a Saturday morning until you know, you’re going to join Calcutta Capsule for its Magic Hour Tour, where you get to experience Calcutta in the most wonderful way possible. Soham is an amazing host. His love for Calcutta and detailed knowledge of the city is quite evident in the way he has meticulously planned the entire tour incorporating the most interesting local places and all the local transports of Calcutta. His warm and hospitable company made our group see Calcutta in a different light. Thank you Calcutta Capsule for a beautiful experience where I got to capture this soulful city in my heart, eyes, and memories. This tour has made me fall in love with my city a little more.
