★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Manjeet was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly super fun. We took the tour in Bow Barack and near by areas. Most locals knew him and no one minded us clicking their pictures. I am sure if we had gone on our own the scenario wouldn't have been the same. It was my first time taking pictures on a high end camera and his tips made my ameteur pics improve quite a lot. I highly recommend him and his tours.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Book a tour with Manjit at Calcutta Photo Tours if you want to understand this under rated city and truly see and feel her beauty. Having taken all of Manjit's tours over several years of visiting Calcutta, there is simply no better way to get beneath the skin of this fascinating city. Manjit is passionate, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Importantly, he is also extremely respected by the local people that you will meet along the way - offering a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse into the lives of the people who make this city so addictive. Please book as many tours as you can fit in - I promise, you won't regret it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was my second walk with Calcutta Photo Tours and I was extremely happy with my experience this time as well. I did the Goddess Beckons tour last year and it remains an unforgettable experience. This time I did the Kaleidoscopic Calcutta tour and was amazed to see such cultural diversity in matter of few kilometres. The tour is a treat to the senses no doubt but it was also very enlightening.. I saw my own city with new eyes and also a new perception. Thanks so much for this experience Manjit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have had friends go on a Calcutta Photo Tour with Manjit on their travels to India and they raved to me how good it was. And after following Manjit's posts on Facebook and Instagram I couldn't wait to get to Calcutta myself and experience part of this city through his eyes.
Manjit is such a beautiful man. He is so friendly, warm and engaging. His knowledge of his city brings it to life. This isn't a tour of ticking off a fact sheet, it is a tour filled with amazing stories, colourful history, delishious food and lots of laughs. I did the kaleidoscope tour and although this is a photography tour, and I'm not the best photographer, it didn't matter. I had the best time, learnt so much, explored areas I never would have seen on my own, and made a lovely friend in Manjit.
It was hands down the best thing I did during my time in Calcutta and I am looking forward to another tour next time I am there.
Manjit has also been designing some seriously beautiful handloomed stoles. I couldn't say no to purchasing one with the famous yellow taxi on. A very special gift to myself to remind me of a very special city.
Thank you again Manjit, I will be seeing you and your beautiful city again soon.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kolkata is magical and Manjit's walking tour highlights this magic at every turn. If you've only seen the more touristy parts of Kolkata then you're missing out. This tour allows you to see a different side to the city as you walk around the neighbourhoods where Manjit lives and works and you get to see the city wake up and come to life. It was a truely exceptional experience and a great way to end my time in India. Manjit is passionate about his city (I can see why), is a wealth of knowledge on both the city and photography and has a great sense of humour. I'm also impressed with how he seems to conduct the tour with fresh eyes and a level of enthusiasm like it's the first time he's done it...like he's seeing it through his guests eyes and a new/different perspective. There's a photo opportunity at every turn in India - the constant contrasts in vistas, the richness of the culture, but above all else the warmth and friendliness of the people. My whole trip to India was fabulous but this tour was definitely one of the highlights. And to top it all off I have some new photography skills to work on until my next visit :-)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Me, my wife and our 8 year old boy walked with Manjit in December last year. The walk was the Cultural Kaleidoscope one. It was an amazing experience. Even the boy didn’t get bored. Kolkata streets are full of history and nostalgia for bengalis like us. And Manjit Da just loves Kolkata. His story telling is awesome, maybe second only to his photography! The places come alive with the history and story he tells you. Will walk with him again!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For someone who still calls Calcutta home, I have come to realize that I know very little of the town I grew up in. On my recent visits, I have made an effort to discover slices of the city that harken back to the days when Calcutta was the Second City of the world (after London). Manjit met me early in the morning at Lalit Great Eastern hotel and took me around BBD Bag (also known as Dalhousie Square). With great enthusiasm, little known anecdotes, story telling and sampling delectables along the way - the three hours flew by. I won't give away the details of this extraordinary journey around the Tank Square (you have to experience it for yourself) but suffice it to say the Dead Letter Office, St. Andrews, Gun and Rifle Shop added spice beyond the basic understanding of how this area was once the center of unparalleled administrative and commercial activities. Where is the Black Hole Monument 'hidden' and why? The 'Last Supper' in St. John. The first Italian restaurant in Calcutta. The monsoon and mosquitoes. As I mentioned, three hours was not sufficient for all the tales. Manjit is an extraordinary photographer too and his eye for details and composition will be an added bonus for budding photographers and professionals too. Looking forward to the next session with Manjit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I worked with Manjit on a short photo project in Calcutta for 4 days. I had a really great time and Manjit was brilliant. His local knowledge is extensive and he is really resourceful, getting me into the right place at the right time to get the images I wanted. His tours are great for getting at the heart of old Calcutta.
