This live-streamed, interactive online experience will give you an exciting glimpse into the history of Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), especially from the time of the East India Company. 

Starting from the historic Writers' Building (which used to be the headquarters of the East India Company back in the day) and the Calcutta High Court, you will walk around the historic district and get to hear interesting anecdotes about the East India Company, how they arrived in Calcutta, how they settled in the city and turned it into the capital of British India. You will also hear stories about Lord Wellesley, who served as the Governor-General of India during that time.
We will then proceed to the awe-inspiring General Post Office, which is also the site where the first Fort William stood before 1864. From here, we will also visit the site of the guardhouse that housed the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta. Another iconic landmark you will get to explore along the way is the Raj Bhavan or the Governor's House. We will also visit the Lal Dighi or Tank Square, which is believed to predate British rule but is, at the same time, also known as the Dalhousie Square.
As we walk by the roadside food stalls and hawkers, then I will brief you about the local life and fare. Finally, we will end the tour in front of the beautiful St. John's Church, a jewel in the hat of this lovely "city of joy".
