Kolkata - A Sea of Faces and A Thousand Places (local guide)

Join me to get local in one day! This is the perfect orientation tour to discover the many different personalities of the 'city of joy'.
This tour is curated by drawing inspiration from filmmaking, a completely new style of walking tours which I call 'Cinematic Tours'. I will personify Kolkata for you to connect with her on a personal level. This tour is based off of a story which we refer to as 'The Script', the locations selected are based on the story-line and I play the role of a narrator weaving a real-time storyboard.
This experience will give you a proper orientation of Kolkata so that you feel confident to be by yourself and feel like a local.
