点评:Historic Walking Tour of Fort William: Some websites dated 2022 say there is a Historic Walking Tour of Fort William every Sunday. We (family of 5 from the UK) contacted the email address given in those articles in November 2023 for a planned trip in February 2024. We recieved a reply telling us to apply in January 2024. In January 2024 I again contacted the email address for the Walking Tour but this time recieved no reply. I emailed the Tourist Information Office in Kolkata equesting help, but also recieved no reply. Then after we set off for Kolkata/Calcutta we recieved an email from the Walking Tour telling us we need "MI (Military Intelligence) Clearance" to visit the Fort. Its not clear how or if it is possible to get this and far too late for us to try. Very disappointing as our ancestors worked in the old Fort William and were buried in the old Cemetary (now redeveloped). Fortunately we had plenty of other places to visit in Kolkata.
翻译:威廉堡历史徒步之旅:一些 2022 年的网站称每周日都有威廉堡历史徒步之旅。我们(来自英国的 5 口之家)于 2023 年 11 月联系了这些文章中给出的电子邮件地址,计划于 2024 年 2 月进行旅行。我们收到了回复,告诉我们在 2024 年 1 月申请。2024 年 1 月,我再次联系了该电子邮件地址徒步旅行,但这次没有收到回复。我给加尔各答的旅游信息办公室发了电子邮件寻求帮助,但也没有收到回复。然后,在我们出发前往加尔各答/加尔各答后,我们收到了徒步旅行的一封电子邮件,告诉我们需要“MI(军事情报)许可”才能参观堡垒。目前尚不清楚如何或是否有可能实现这一目标,但我们尝试为时已晚。非常令人失望,因为我们的祖先在旧威廉堡工作并埋葬在旧公墓(现已重新开发)中。幸运的是,我们在加尔各答还有很多其他地方可以参观。
