Please come Delhi ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Are you still here in kolkata
I think there should be like this affordable and good guide who can show you real views of the city.
Highly recommended for the people who are from outside especially foreigners ❤
🤝 you eat too much your back side bread is big 🍻
Please don't miss Karnataka. Must visit place in India
What a well spoken man dude. He literally explained all the special things about KOLKATA
He was great! There's so much footage I couldn't include otherwise it would have been 5 hours long - but he was awesome and showed us so much!
Bengali power 💪.
@@josieliftsthingsplease come Siliguri, Darjeeling
@@josieliftsthings Welcome to my city, u selected a good guide.
The man was really nice 💯💯
That man is the just perfect example of "Don't judge a book by it's cover".
Eta tarai bole jara judge kore cover dekhe 😂😂
Dude that guy is a professional guide, have you gone through that link. They are charging $35 for a 4 hours tour. It’s completely professional.
Does that make any sense here?
C'mon bro
@@Jello_oThat's cheap for the tourists though
@@Jello_otoh apni ki chan .. free tr ghorabe ? .. kheye deye nei kaam kaaj nei oi vodro loker
Avik da. Thank you so much for representing Bengal just as it is. ❤
I'm a Bengali, and I'm just amazed that this Bengali guy is so good at describing things, it is just phenomenal. This video is so good because of that guys. Take love ❤️
Amra bangali bro ,
We can do everything ❤️
Dude that guy is a professional guide, have you gone through that link. He is charging $35 for a 4 hours tour.
@@Jello_oWell, he indeed is a professional. Judging by the way he interacts, his fluency and command over the language and the knowledge he has on the subject matter justifies the price he charges them.
Damn this guy is amazing. You can see his passion for Kolkata
You really could! He was awesome, so passionate about his place and it showed. Amazing!
@@josieliftsthings He given u Bengali black jamun sweet but forgot to give u Bengali laddu called Darbesh. That sweet shop Putiram is famous for Darbesh. But he is good guide though. Sandesh is famous in Bhimnag towards left from that crossing towards another crossing.
You meet a right person, you know very well some places does not found you that's kind of person.
I feel you are lucky person ❤❤ 2:24
@@josieliftsthingsNow visit North Bengal the heaven.
The Indian guy accompanying you is a perfect hospitality ambassador with awesome communication skill, apt English and thorough knowledge about food content, process, culture and heritage.
This guy is a pro at explaining Kolkata culture. Every foreigner must have this kind of experience from Kolkata.
Ooo Thanks for the like. Waoo you are so active on social media, keep spreading happiness.
first manage the Bangladeshi immigrants otherwise they will rape them
Every tourist deserves a guide like him in every corner of our country ❤
Proud Bengali... The way this man explained the entire beauty of North Kolkata as well, it's amazing 🤩
100 Marks to the guide for showing you the culture of Kolkata in so profound way.
Hi Avik .... Mam might have travelled many regions of India ... But perhaps you are the best guide I have ever seen. You made our Kolkata proud ❤🙏
He was amazing!!
@@josieliftsthings The information he gave about Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is wrong. Netaji Bose fought alongside the Japanese for the independence of India from the British. It was azad hind fauj and Japanese army who were stopped at imphal by the British army.
@@Abk312 Netaji is also India, British Indian Army is also India. No one was fighting for anyone. Both were fighting against 2 different entities behalf of India.
@@surojeetchatterji9966 How can British Indian army be India. It was a British army fighting for British and British colonies. And he clearly said netaji fought alongside british Indian army 😂😂 against japan. Are u serious??
@@Abk312 I haven't heard that properly what he said about WW2. British Indian Army is also Indian army was fighting for Indias interests not just for British empire be it in WW1 or WW2.
Now this is called a city tour...that not only gives you a feel of the taste, the sounds and culture of the city, but most importantly, introduces you to its people as well!! Loved it, especially the passion with which the guide conducted the tour...could feel it in his voice!!
As a bengali i am proud of Mr. Avik. When you have a great guide no one can stop you from having a great time. Hope you have a great time in bengal jossie❤
Another well spoken person 👏
Shut u-
Big cities in India English is almost their first language
This man is a treasure. He needs to be protected❤️
From whom

Legitimately impressed by the guide . Smart, well spoken, well mannered, a humble person with a big heart. Josie you are too lucky to have him as your guide ❤❤❤❤.
I am here to comment that I have NEVER watched full length videos of foreigners visiting India. I was obviously watched some shorts which were recommended but after watching your shorts I actually felt an inner happiness after seeing you appreciating our culture so much. And now I am here watching your full length videos. I can tell you are such a good person. Thank you gor the appreciation and Welcome to India ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I have this exact same feeling especially with Josies content. She has evolved from Shorts to full length
Me too had the same feeling i hope to i may visit kolkatha soon
Sitting in Melbourne and watching you explore the corners of my city brought tears to my eyes and I am missing it so badly right now! Kolkata is an emotion, rightly called the City of Joy. And yes Avik was fantastic. What a man he is!
Wish you had a great time in Kolkata and have a safe journey ahead Josie.
The most amazing part of this person, he is not a food vlogger, still he have so much information about kolkata's food more than a vlogger. Excellent communication skill. ❤❤❤
he is a tour guide
Trust me that guide was excellent at his work, highly recommended for any tourist visiting Kolkata 😊
looks like a professional guide and like a very knowledgable guy about kolkata food
He was GREAT! Awesome guy and took us through local parts too and learnt more about that - not just stuffing our face with food!
@@josieliftsthings Also he took u at evening bcs it's hot now in day time. As monsoon coming late in Bengal due to el nino in Pacific Ocean.
Kolkata is not just a city it's a emotion ❤😊🎉
You couldn't have such a passionate guide better than him.....thank you Avik Sir for giving the exact essence of Kolkata in the best possible way👍👍
Man is extremely passionate about his work and is very knowledgeable. Thumbs up for this guide
You got the raw version of Kolkata! Hats of to your guide! He is the show stopper!
So proud of the man who explained Kolkata in such a beautiful way. A true gentleman who knows his job perfectly. Hope you enjoyed it here. ❤
I think that you are the first travel vlogger I have seen who wants to get the full Indian experience, otherwise most others just visit Delhi or Mumbai, thank you for visiting almost every side of this country hope you enjoyed the eastern part as well
Your guide is an amazing person, really well spoken and he took you on a really authentic tour of Kolkata.
What a passionate guy he is!He has such a true love for this city and the way he explained every little thing is just commendable..Congrats man❤
Such a clean spoken, accurately describing, fluent speaker..
Heartiest respect to Mr.Avik for achieving such
truly commendable quality of speaking English with proper elaboration, spontaneity and confidence.
❤
This guy was good with this facts... Hats off to Avik, what a representor!
Man ...... That tour guide is next level .......... Just in case if i visit Kolkata, Am gonna engage him at any cost...... Super duper vlog
Then i can be like him 🥹😂😂
People who have seen the bengali movie named " Prakton " would agree that this guide is exactly behaving like bumba da from the movie who is non other than our Prosenjit Chatterjee. Nice to see some explaining our culture so prominently . 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Such coherent and elegant eloquent in speech! This dude is the epitome of a Kolkata native. Soul City representah!
This guy is speaking so well and have all the info. Loved the local kolkata guy
Josie your guide is a gem 💎 Hats off and respect for him.
This video aptly highlights the mood of the city, the clumsyness , the historic alleys , human activities and their fun and joy moments together. What a nice vlog and a nice guide . ❤
Such a professional and humble guy with great knowledge about the city... Loved it...
having a local makes it so much better, even we as viewers feel a part of guided tour and learn new stuff about Kolkata ❤
I am from Kol and I am happy that you liked it so much. Also how genuinely you enjoy exploring the place how a local would do by travelling in buses,walking in the lanes of North Kol and eating the onion bhaji and kulhad tea amongst others(wherein you had the option of Going to a slight posh area)and experience the same with better hospitality/service
Also hats off to the guy for explaining the dishes so well and also giving a brief history about the place and why the roofs are so tall and what's the difference in the houses of the oldest part of Kol from the modern ones
The guide guy definitely deserves a CZcams channel. The way he goes on explaining stuffs is just phenomenal ❤
I havd to say . This vlog had my heart throughout it.. ma'am you are so friendly and your energy even in this beating summer is much appreciable.. you tasted variety of foods and Even if it doesn't match your taste you loved all...
And MR AVIK , i have to admire you from the bottom of my heart. Feeling proud of you for being so professional. You mader her notice all the little nuances in the streets of kolkata and regular life. May God bleas you all. Love from Kolkata ❤
I couldn't agree more! Avik's knowledge and eloquence are truly impressive. I would love to be part of one of his tours someday. Although I was born and raised in North Kolkata but I am amazed by his excellent presentation, knowledge and passion. Must sing his praises.
Everything is fine but I'm pretty disappointed why he only picked some trashlands, i mean there are more better places to visit.
This might emit an ill perception for visitors to visit Kolkata.
@@Shemo-3700they already visited the modern part of kolkata, the motive was to see the real ,old , beautiful,and original kolkata
@@hardyaroy2303 Old Kolkata is full of pollution...
@@Shemo-3700 so? The whole delhi is full of pollution ,does that stop people from visiting there? Many people want to visit old kolkata, the british style structures, the old feeling, nobody want to see the same tall big buildings and locality of salt lake and tollygunge
@@hardyaroy2303
So you're justifying the pollution of Kolkata coz Delhi got the same amount of pollutants??
I have seen many food bloggers doing videos of biryani and all foods. But this is the authentic Kolkata. The guid made you understand the things well and gave you the opportunity to experience the real old Calcutta. He is so good at it. Every point and every description. Good.
Looking forward for More Kolkata Videos. Specially South Kolkata.
Bengali chela Mone jete nilo
Bengali guy won my heart❤❤
Ki bhalo bebe amader Bengal ke poribeshan korche ....
He is an amazing tour guide...
Hats off to the dude who explained all the things clearly.
You are amazing, pretty much different from other foreign travellers who are visiting India, because they don’t actually explore the old india (east India). Welcome again to my city- City of Joy!!!
Thank you so much! We wanted to see as much as possible!
What a guide man...he literally took the raw part of Kolkata over the camera...ispite of the famous areas...I leave in kolkata for last 1 yrs but I myself didn't know all about these things...very informative video
I want to meet this man and hug him. He is one of us , he is bengali, he is india 🇮🇳 ❤
I would love to watch more videos of this guide. Loved his aura and explanation.
Avik..... Is a real expert..... Gem...
Yeah coz he'll be paid really well 😂😂 ( no offence though 🤷)
@@Griffith_1802 You can be offered money for something and be bad at it... you can't just let him have a compliment that doesn't involve money? Very strange haha
@@josieliftsthings it's a joke
@@josieliftsthings josie that's like Bret Lee's yorker.... Good one...
@@Griffith_1802 it cannot be a joke when others can't enjoy. You are straight brought up as a rude person that even the content creator felt the need to point out. Just coz you are faceless on internet doesn't mean you are provided the right to be mannerless and when people points out your lack of behavioural etiquettes you call the past action a joke and try to desensitize it.
As a bengali i am proud of his English 🙏🏻
This was like an well explained and showing the true colors of kolkata..
Gosh you are soo genuine... I am soo glad that you liked our bengali cuisine and culture and the way you were appreciating, showing your smiley face to everyone waving at them, is really really praiseworthy 😊😊 lots of love from bengal ❤️
Wonderful video that you've made. You showed us the real emotion of Kolkata through your video. Kolkata is 'City of Joy' and People of bengal are most welcoming ... And the guide with whom you've travelled is of another level .. great video .. ❤❤❤❤
The food guide Avik in Kolkata was an absolute expert, showcasing profound knowledge of the city's food and history. They effortlessly navigated the culinary landscape, introducing us to mouthwatering street food and traditional delicacies. Their captivating storytelling connected the past with the present, unveiling the influences that shaped Kolkata's cuisine. It was a truly unforgettable experience, immersing us in the soul of the city. Their expertise and passion made the journey profound and delicious. Highly recommended for an enriching exploration of Kolkata's culinary wonders.
I must say, you got gem of a guide and the handpicked items he made you taste really sums up Kolkata. Really liked your video and the guide. Hope to see him grow
O what a guide... Ecstatic explanation of everything...
Hats off man❤
Josie and her obsession with honking car/bike is just epic…😂😂😂. From kerala’s flat tyre to Bengal’s street walk…she never fails to entertain with those bloopers 😅
Btw this guide was really nice. Do share his contact in description. People would live to hire him in their next visit to bengal 😅
😂😂😂😂 thank you!
He was the best! The only info I have is the link in the description and the pinned comment where we booked the tour! ☺️🙏🏻
Salute to the guide!! HE IS REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT CALCUTTA ❤❤
You guys got the raw and real Kolkata feel. Glad that the guide didn't take you to a
fancy restaurants or popular eateries where every vlogger/foreigners visit. This rare experience makes the video out of the box and interesting as well.
you really find the best guides! have to appreciate how well spoken he was and his knowledge of history and culture.
I am seeing Avik in all foreigner's food vlog these days.. A really brilliant guy showcasing the bengali culture...
What has impressed me is the Guide, fantastic expressions and great command over English, welcome to Kolkata
The guy is brilliant. So passionate about the city, the people, the food. Kudos.
Welcome to Kolkata! Kolkata is indeed a beautiful city, and I'm glad to you that you captured its essence so well. Thank you for appreciating the exploration of Kolkata through this travel vlog!
A quick paced video, lots to hear and see, which was great. Guide was good at his job. The rickshaw ride looked amazing. 🙂
Avik bro.. you made whole India proud today. Love you bro 🤗❤
I'm from Kolkata and I just loved how you came forward to know about our culture, how well you're trying to understand the language Bengali and how amazingly your guide was telling you the facts about the city of joy ❤️🥺...only one thing I wanna say you is Aami tomake bhalobashi ( I love you ❤️)
The way he explained so well just thank you 🙏🏻
I like this rapid action and very productive vlog❤
Of all the videos made on Kolkata food, this one is the closest to the soul of the city. All the places the guy made you visit are things that make up quintessential Kolkata.
Thank You for visiting Kolkata or Bengal ❤️ ( The Sweetest Part of India ) hope you guys are enjoying a lot with the foods and the old Kolkata environment . Wish you guys will come at Durga Puja , then you can see the diversity and how crazy Bengali people enjoying their biggest festival for 4 days .
Inviting you at Durga Puja 2023 ( 20-24 th of October)
Thank You ❤️😊
Bro proud of you for how you represented yourself on behalf of Kolkata and describe the history of our city.
I have a request whenever you will finish your india tour i just want you to make a video to express your emotions feelings towards india and what you were expecting and what is reality because many foreign people believe in internet 90% negative stuff and they make image in their mind that india is all about poor people dirty cities so I really want you to share your opinion and thoughts like we all can share that video to people who talk only negative about india so please make that video with your words feeling emotions hospitality kindness everything positive negative whatever you felt during your india tour ❤
I won’t make a singular video about it I don’t think - I give my feelings in many videos. Actually the end of the Indore village video sums it up nicely ☺️
"খুব ভালো, দারুন হয়েছে.. কলকাতায় স্বাগতম" Bengali is one of the sweetest language. I hope u learned few bengali when u were in Kolkata. I was waiting when the tour guide speaks bengali and then he asked are you guys playing 29 cards. India is diverse and thanks for exploring :-)
Belongs from Kolkata and seeing Such a humble knowledgeable person to Assist foreigners is a great thing to watch
A big Salute to Mr Avik! You really show to the world The KOLKATA
One of my fav youtube channel
Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Finally after a long waiting you are in my City of Joy with lots of adventure about to be experienced ❤Taste the sweetness of Bengal from it's diverse food culture as well as the sweet Bengali people.Thanks a lot for coming here to explore the food capital of Bengali cuisine .Travel more, explore more & repeat

This episode is so good.

Thank You Kolkata for treating Josie so well. Thank You Avik Bhai. I wish to become you one day.
First Time seeing Avid Da.

Seriously this man how unprecedentedly he explained all the things. ❤
