About us

We were your regular overworked and underpaid individuals, overcome by a sense of ennui. Then one day, we decided to take fate by the throat… and take a look at us now!

We may still be overworked and underpaid.

But there's a new zest for what we do now.

Calcutta Walks falls under the umbrella of V3 Travels and Tours, a Calcutta-based travel agency that serves tourists and makes sure all its clients have a good time. V3 Travels and Tours, now two years old, excels at creating travel packages suited to the different tastes of our clients.

Though V3 Travels can claim to Calcutta Walks, the latter is still pretty much an autonomous entity. Conceived of, founded, and designed by Iftekhar Ahsan – aka Ifte – an intrepid Explorer, Calcutta Walks is manned by individuals from various walks of life. As Explorers, researchers, and a resource team, we have on board theater veterans, historians, architects, lawyers, businesspeople, home-based professionals, corporate entities, and quasi-intellectuals whose sole job it is to keep us on our toes and at our best – for you!

CITY TOURS

Though we love to walk around the city with anyone interested when they have the time, we have an alternative for those who do not - City Tours.
Besides the regular Half Day and Full Day city tours, we also have customised coach and car tours along various themes.

RIVER CRUISE

Our river is the Hooghly, a tributary of the Ganges. And if it weren't for that test flight at Kitty Hawk, you probably would've sailed down this waterway to our city. Take a breather and join us on a river cruise.
