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!
