The experience was excellent... Lovely Walk, beautiful stories, passing through historic lanes of kolkata and amazing food. Soham does such a lovely job, explains each thing patiently, answers questions, has a sense of humour and enjoys the tour as much himself.. This was the highlight of my trip. I am native to Kolkata and Soham showed me things that I have never seen before!!! Much recommended and I cannot say enough good things about this initiative... Kudos!the tour was perfect. you’ll get a taste of pretty much every calcutta staple you’d want to try and from the most specialized, local shops. i was initially concerned about whether or not the food will be safe but had no problem at all. they’ll also show you hidden gems around and just walking aro...

This food tour exceeded our expectations! Soham was the perfect guide and provided some history on the food, the vendors, and where we even walked. He was gracious enough to even help us find bug spray, bandaids, and water. He even bought us umbrellas since it happened to pour constantly for an hour. He also was very careful where we were walking and took us through some beautiful alleys that simply enhanced the experience. The food stops were well though out, starting with chai, appetizers, main dishes and then desserts. We could have as much amid each as we wanted, but I would suggest pacing yourself if you want to have everything! You can always skip a stop if you want or have one bit and move on. Soham was also a really nice and friendly person and we had a good time just with small talk as well. I highly recommend this to anyone coming to Kolkata!The back alleys and sidestreets of Calcutta’s old city sport some of the best street food in the world.

The back alleys and sidestreets of Calcutta’s old city sport some of the best street food in the world. But the cacophany of curbside stalls and unsigned restaurant entrances can be a bit intimidating, especially for non-Bengali speakers. Soham is an ambassador extraordinaire into this world. He strikes a great balance between explanation and exploration, while introducing tasty treats from minced lamb and fried fish to kati rolls and the oh-so-delicious sweets that West Bengal is so famous for. I highly recommend this tour and others Soham offers. I really enjoyed it and recommend to anyone interested in food, Calcutta or both!I’ve done a number of food tours across many continents and hands down this is the best one I’ve ever done and I’m a tough critic!!

I’ve done a number of food tours across many continents and hands down this is the best one I’ve ever done and I’m a tough critic!! Soham was outstanding in guiding us through the alleyways of Kolkata mixing the city’s history with the wide variety of street food. After a while I lost count of the number of food stops we made but suffice to say you won’t leave hungry or feeling like you’ve missed out on tasting the sweet and savoury food delights of this city. Soham added so many personal touches to the tour that you felt like you were being taken round the city by a friend. One of the big differences to other food tours is you get to try REAL street food that you might have been hesitant to try for fear of getting sick - these are all places locals go to and you get to eat right alongside them all in the knowledge that the food is safe. A complete added bonus was some beautiful photos Soham took of us on a SLR camera throughout the tour. These are fantastic memories of the best tour I’ve ever done!!We absolutely could not have found a more perfect ambassador to introduce us to Kolkata. Soham’s tour was awesome.

We absolutely could not have found a more perfect ambassador to introduce us to Kolkata. Soham’s tour was awesome. It was a small group, we went to his local neighborhood spots and he accommodated everyone in the group. Delightful and informative this is a Kolkata must do. He is so welcoming and interesting you really get to know local Kolkata.
