We had the best time with Gautam on the Street Food Experience! So much food, lots of sights and all guided by Guatam’s knowledge, passion and experience. We even got to take the local train to see the Gateway To Taj at sunset! Gautam is a fantastic host, took lots of photos and videos which he sent to us on the same day. Even made sure we got to our Uber safely at the end. We can’t rate this experience highly enough ! 🤩Unmissable Food Tour With Gautam!

Good to see another bustling part of Mumbai and market that would be worth returning to (right near Dadar station). Many sweet with a few savory tastings of ‘grab and go’ foods. Various types of pancakes. Pretty tummy friendly I’d say. Juliana is very knowledgeable about the foods. We found it all rather filling and couldn’t even manage one portion between 2 of us. I did. Some foods only found in Mumbai.

We had the most amazing food tour with Gautam! From gosa to lassi and everything in between! Gautam met us close to our hotel & after our first gastronomic treat we took a local train (what an experience - we would never have done it ourselves!). We didn’t see a single westerner for the whole of our tour, which took us through the flower market, past the pigeon house, down alleys, across streets, with so much to look at and taste. We loved every minute & every mouthful!What an amazing day!

Thank you Piyush. You were my first day on my first visit to India and I will never forget the great food, thoughtful conversation and food+ experiences. A local train ride and meandering through a crowded Sunday market to experience a very local neighborhood while munching on delicious street and cafe snacks and drinks was the best!! I am already looking up recipes and buying spices. This was a great experience and a great connect with a lovely person. I highky recommend taking advantage of Piyush’s hospitality. A Tasty Journey with a Generous Soul

I had the pleasure of doing a food tour with Gautam, and it was absolutely incredible! Gautam was attentive to all my preferences and made sure the experience was tailored to my interests. This wasn't just a food tour—it was an adventure tour as well. A perfect blend of delicious food and unforgettable experiences. The three hours were packed with sights, sounds, and tastes that I will cherish forever. Gautam's knowledge and passion truly made this tour stand out. Thank you, Gautam, for such an amazing experience! Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Mumbai!Unforgettable Food & Adventure Tour

We had such a great day exploring everything Mumbai had to offer with Shrikanth. We did both the off the beaten path tour & then the food tour. It was a wonderful experience to visit the communities in Dharavi and each place we stopped at for food, we felt like locals. Couldn’t recommend enough! Amazing day!

Amazing tour—huge thanks to Piyush for making it such a memorable experience! We got to try so many dishes I had never even heard of, and the best part was how this tour went beyond food—it became a journey into understanding India with its diverse regions, cultures, religions, and more. While I wouldn’t call myself the biggest fan of Indian cuisine (and this tour didn’t change that), I still highly recommend it. It offers a deeper insight into India and Mumbai than almost anything else you could experience. A special shoutout to Piyush for making us feel like old friends. I’ll be waiting for that wedding invite! 😊Tastes of Mumbai

(About local Gautam)

I arranged to meet Gautum a week ago in Mumbai. Although this was my 5th visit to India, this was my first to Mumbai. It was also my wife's first visit to India and she was understandably nervous about tummy issues, crowds etc. Having done a food tour in Delhi some years back, I was equally nervous about tummy issues. In part hygiene, but the searing heat could also be a problem (seems to melt you!) Neither of us were concerned when we met Gautum. He took us to authentic, yet hygienic places. In fact, there was so much variety, we were ready to explode, but couldn't say no to any of the delectable treats. From chai, to lassi. From curried Iranian mince to Samosas, the food kept coming. Apart from the food, we were taken to the flower markets, with not enough room to swing a cat. My wife held on to Gautum so tightly, I was worried she had found a new man! Gautum, you nailed it! Your relaxed personality, knowledge of a city you clearly love and considerate treatment of not only your clients, but also (in my opinion, more importantly) your kind treatment of waiters (yes, I did notice you tipping them) made this a highlight of our 4 days in Mumbai. Thank you - you were worth every cent! Regards TonyGreat insight into Mumbai Life

Shrikanth was an amazing guide. He took us to local places to try food. He also knows a lot about Mumbai. Whenever we had questions he could answer it. We ate a lot of good food! We also went in the train that was an experience on its own. We were a bit late for the tour with Shrikanth. He waited for us and gave his time with the tour and we really appreciate. We recommend to book the food tour with Shrikanth! Amazing food with train experience

We had the best time exploring Mumbai and tasting really delicious dishes in authentic places with our wonderful guide Gautam. From the Saffron Lassi by the busy train station to the Keema Mutton fry at the old Irani place and the best Pav Bhaji I ever had. Everything was so delicious and the combination of stories about the city, the food plus a thrilling train ride during rush hour and finishing off with a Taxi tour to the beach to cool off with an ice cola …This was a memorable tour in the relaxed company of Gautum and it will stay in our hearts always. Cool, fun and sooo yummi

Gautam is a delightful host, born and raised in Mumbai. He is very proud of his city and he knows a lot of stories. He showed me the highlights of the city and travelled by bus and by train and it was really fun, as this is something a bit more challenging to do on your own! We went to the spice markets and the food markets where all the locals are. Plus he took me to several places to eat the delicious street food of Mumbai. I had a great tour and good impression of the city. Thank you again Gautam and I would definitely recommend hem as your guide. Fun tour of the real Mumbai

Juliana took us to a variety of amazing food places that represented the variety of local food and Mumbai culture very well. She is incredibly knowledgeable not only about local food, but Indian food and preparations in general. What's sad is that we almost didn't manage to take the tour: Juliana had offered to meet us at our hotel, which I was very grateful for. On the day, she was running late on the trains, which is no problem at all and is part of life in a big city. However, we had just arrived and had no way of communicating outside the hotel, which I had informed her about. Still, she tried to keep changing the meeting place and wanted to meet us at the Gateway of India (impossible to find each other without phone access). Out of sheer luck, we managed to run into her on the street when we had already given up on the tour. I think this significant delay was a big inconvenience to Juliana (however, due to no fault from out side), which she made us feel during the last third of the tour.Amazing food, organisation a bit lacking

(About local Juliana)

29 January 2024

The concept of the food tour was really good and we valued the opportunity to visit various areas of Mumbai with a real local. Juliana was very sweet and friendly, she made us feel comfortable and shared her thoughts, opinions and knowledge on many topics. Juliana came to meet us and have the tour much closer to our hotel than originally planned, for our convenience, which was greatly appreciated. Many of the foods we tried were absolutely delicious, and several of the places we went/bought from were not places we would have considered visiting without her guidance. Juliana did know food and local culture very well. She did not however know much history of the area - which is absolutely fine as that is not what she advertised - but if this is something which matters a lot to you bare it in mind. Towards the end of the tour things lost momentum a little which is why I have given 9 rather than 10, as the tour started amazingly. Still definitely worth doing, and Juliana is well worth choosing for your food tour!A great experience

We had a great time on the tour with Mohan and he was a super cool guy, easy to chat to and spoke incredible English with us! The tour was 4hrs long and included a train ride which was awesome. He was great at communicating and super responsive before the tour. We didn’t however realise the tour was near the gate away of India and Marine drive so had been around that area the previous day already- slight shame as we had actually even eaten at one of the stalls he took us too. Not his fault at all but maybe worth doing your first day in Mumbai as you do get lots of information of the buildings and heritage of the city as well as the food. The street food costs Vs the cost of the tour is quite high but I hope that gets passed on to our guide. I would recommend and overall we tried cool things we might not otherwise have eaten. Thank you! Great to do on your first day in mumbai

I couldn’t have asked for a better food tour for me and my family. Piyush was punctual, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He was very easy to talk to, and it felt like we were hanging out with a friend. He went above and beyond to take us to places that were truly local. He introduced us to foods that even we as Indians had not tried before. Piyush gave us a thorough history of Mumbai and helped us feel immersed in the city. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an amazing street food experience!!Amazing experience!

Gautam was brilliant! So full of fascinating details and stories about Mumbai’s history. We really appreciated him giving us access to real life in the city, in a way that is usually very hard to experience as a tourist in India. From a train ride out of south Mumbai an excellent, spicy snack on the street, we really felt like we got under the skin of the Maximum City. Maximum Experience!

We had a really enjoyable and informative time on our tour with Srikanth. Beforehand we were somewhat apprehensive about taking a slum tour, but Srikanth soon put us at ease and we never felt uncomfortable, imposing or unsafe at any time, maintaining a tone of respect and dignity for the residents at all times. He took great time to explain the many fascinating aspects of daily life in the slums, all the amazing commercial activities in a never to be forgotten experience. We also loved gifting the pens and pencils (that we brought with us) at the school to the young children. As an added bonus, Srikanth is a professional photographer and he took so many great photos that he shared with us. In summary, do not hesitate to book this trip with Srikanth, you will not regret it !! Amazing tour with Srikanth

He took me on a deep dive into the city's rich history, showing me all the important landmarks and fascinating historical sites.
