FAQ

1. Who's a Fellow Explorer?

A: A Fellow Explorer is your guide on the walk. You will notice that s/he's not a know-it-all but someone who knows a lot about a locality – yet yearns to learn lots more - with you all.

2. Will we get food?

A: That is affirmative, and it will be food which will be redolent of the culture and the community you will experience on the walk in question. (Obviously, we will keep in mind the need to practice "safe eat", and shall only patronize establishments which are clean.)

3. How long is the walk?

A: A complete regular walk experience should last around 2 ½ to 3 hours.

4. Do we receive any literature on the walk we opt for?

A: On every walk you choose to take, you'll receive a brochure giving you a brief outline of the walk and things to look out for. Feel free to add your observations as you walk the city with us, and do not trust guides that don't have these brochures.

5. Is it tiring and strenuous?

A: No, not for an average, healthy person. We walk at a relaxed pace so as to take in details those in a hurry would miss. The distance we cover on a walk could be anything from 1 to 3 kilometers – or up to 2 miles.

6. What if it rains? Or it's too sunny?

A: First of all, welcome to the real Calcutta, friends! If it rains WE will provide you with umbrellas – just as we will if it's a hot, sunny day. We recommend your wearing comfortable footwear, preferably that which is waterproof.

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.
