Our Walking Tours

What People Are Saying

“Organised tours, even for adults, still so often trigger memories of interminable school excursions, but a tour with Manjit awoke my inner-adolescent in a much more creative, adventurous and exploratory sense. Manjit brings a DIY ethos and energy to tourism that only makes you wish you could then take him for a walk around your own city in return.”

Keri Glastonbury, Professor University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia

“Manjit, our guide was incredibly disarming, funny and knowledgeable. I was immediately put at ease as he lead us through the winding streets of his beloved city. Not only does he educate you on everything you are seeing but he is considering lighting and composition for you, the photographer/ videographer - as he himself is a gifted photographer. As an artist, this was the most satisfying collaboration and introduction to a beautiful city I had only just met. After three tour days, I was completely captivated with Calcutta and it felt so wrong to leave!”

Danielle Mulcahy, photographer, film-maker, USA

FAQs

  • Sure! Not all our tours are for photographers. We offer standard history, heritage and cultural tours too. Everyone takes photos, even if it is for your own memory. However, if you do not even do that ever, we still have tours which will work great for you. Each tour has a description and clearly indicates if the tour is suited for non-photographers. If you still have questions please feel free to use the contact us form below and we will get back to you.

  • Photo tours offer the traveller a combination of photography training and a sight-seeing guide to a city. Essentially, such an enterprise adds value to your photography skills and helps you explore a city’s major tourist attractions against the backdrop of its historical and cultural significance.

    Live photo-shooting, photography tips and instructions, browsing through the instructor’s photographs for a more visual training, and a general view of the socio-cultural setting enables the traveller to bring back with him an enriching experience of the place.

  • If you are interested in photography then you have landed on the perfect website. The equipment is your personal choice, however. If your mobile phone is your camera you are more than welcome to photograph with it.

    If you are one of the special ones who photograph with their eyes/soul and do not use any camera and want to experience the city then our tours work for you too.

  • Sure! We offer standard walking tours and we would more than love to have you with us. Just check with us if you are choosing the right tour. Each tour page has a detailed description of the tours. Read about our tours and sign up for the one that works best for you.
