The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Kolkata hotel. You'll meet your English-speaking guide and driver, then move through the city in an air-conditioned car to see the monuments that draw visitors most often. Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity and Victoria Memorial are the two main stops, with the guide explaining the history and significance of each as you walk through. Lunch is built into the itinerary, so you won't need to hunt for a restaurant mid-tour.

Because this is a private trip for your group alone, the guide adjusts the pace to your questions and interests. You're not moving with a larger group on a fixed schedule, so if a site holds your attention longer, there's room to linger. The guide handles the navigation and the details of each location. You focus on what you're seeing.

• Hotel pickup and drop-off at any Kolkata location.
