Orientation
Pass by without stopping
St Andrews Church
8 AM St Andrews Church Our first destination is St Andrew’s Church which is also known as the Kirk. Completed in 1818 it is the only Scottish church in Kolkata. Designed by M/s Burn, Currie & Co. its steeple was higher than that of the then Anglican Cathedral of Calcutta St. John’s Church. Bishop Middleton was much annoyed with this. Our guide will elaborate more on the controversy regarding the spire which ruffled many feathers!

Rich cultural experience at Kolkata
I had booked the Mother Teresa and Churches tour from Kolkata on TripAdvisor. It was an amazing experience. The tranquility at Mother's house is quite moving. Besides, St Paul's cathedral and St Andrew's Church were spectacular. This is a great way to understand Kolkata's rich heritage and past.

Another wonderful day in Kolkata!!
Today I was fortunate to get my host Anirban again for my tour of Mother Theresa's house and missionaries of Charity along with other sights. The St Andrew's Church, St Paul's Cathedral, and my favorite the South Park cemetery. Just a delightful day with a delicious thali lunch and thoughtful as well as amusing commentary by Anirban. Traveling alone at 60 the tour guides have been so essential to making this a magical trip to Kolkata!!

Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kolkata.
How much does Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kolkata usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kolkata is not rushed.
Is Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kolkata, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kolkata can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kolkata and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kolkata within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kolkata?
+
On Outty we rank every Kolkata experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bengali Nights Kolkata Food Tour with 13+ Tastings, Cultural Confluence of Kolkata - Culture Kaleidoscope Tour, Magic Hour Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kolkata?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kolkata?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata?
+
Included: Private transportation; All taxes, fees and handling charges; Hotel pickup and drop-off (All city hotels); and Full time guide / cultural evangelist. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Kolkata. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Visit Mother Teresa's house and Churches of Kolkata?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
