I came to Kolkata a second time some weeks ago. I contacted Ms Hena and asked her to make a plan for visits outside of central Kolkata. Ms Hena planned it very well. I looked at places where former colonies had been. French, Danish and of course English colonies. Also some other historically interesting places. It was a really great tour. If I go to Kolkata a third time I will contact Ms Hena again.

Outstanding tour guide. Exceptional service, excellent English, highly recommend.

"Highly recommend! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made our trip unforgettable 😊"

Hena was extremely helpful and enthusiastic

I booked a slum tour with Hena for Saturday, December 13, 2025. Hena picked me up from the lobby of Hotel Cecil (which she recommended) in New Market, Kolkata. By the way, New Market is a very photogenic area. From the moment we met, I immediately felt at ease with her. Hena arranged transportation (a tuk-tuk) without any problems, and we had a pleasant conversation in the backseat. When I arrived at the slum, she gave me a relaxed tour. She chatted with the residents, gave me a lot of information, bought me water, and so on. Much more than you would expect from a guide. Therefore, I give the tour a maximum score of 5, but if I could give it a higher score, I would without hesitation. If I ever need a guide in Kolkata again, I would call Hena immediately!
