What a magical night. I am so thankful for this experience.

Published on Mar, 2025

What a magical night. I am so thankful for this experience. I cannot speak highly enough of the guide Soham. He was overly accommodating, grew up in the neighborhood he is showcasing, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time on the walk. He explained the history of things, both from a West Bengali cultural perspective and also from his personal family history. He also took extreme care to ensure nobody was overwhelmed by spice and good hygiene was maintained. You will navigate packed streets and tight alleyways and really feel the energy of the people. You will truly experience Old Calcutta. We went on a weeknight and at 9pm it felt like the energy of Times Square New York. There are also people in extreme poverty. This is a reality of the area that you should be prepared for. You'll also see endless stray dogs that all look identical...Calcutta Street Dogs I called them. The food experience from start to finish is fun, delicious, interesting, and always catered to your personal needs or level of preferred spice. To make the most of it, I strongly recommend fasting that day until dinner time. Your hunger will elevate all the flavors, and if you do not fast you will probably have leftovers to take home. It's a lot of food! Final thought - the public bathrooms available on the tour are not absolutely terrible, but they are not good either. I would hate to be a woman and need to use them. Don't drink a lot of fluids before the tour to help avoid this issue... If you're interested at all in this tour, odds are you will absolutely love it and take home some real memories.

Not only Foodtour, a full Kalkutta experience!

Published on Mar, 2025

A Full Kalkutta experience! Unique spots, awesome food and Soham, the guide as the best caretaker! Anytime again ! What should I write more, nothing to say, just do it!

Best off-the-beaten path activity in Kolkata - and the best way to try street food without worries!

Published on Jan, 2025

We’ve been on many walking tours, and this one was definitely one of our favourites! Soham is an amazing tour guide, storyteller, conversationalist - we learned so much about Kolkata, the rich history of the neighbourhood, the food, and even little snippets of Soham’s life growing up. Everything about the tour felt so crafted with care and love for the city, its people and its food! The food was so tasty on every stop, we were so full by the end of it we had to take desserts back to the hotel. Was also blown away by how attentive to food hygiene Soham was - really important when trying street food in a foreign country! Have been recommending this tour nonstop to my friends heading to/living in Kolkata - truly a highlight of the trip.

The best street food by the best guide

Published on Jan, 2025

This food tour was a joy, from meeting Soham outside his family home to eating the ( almost) last dish in a secret place. Soham is sharing the food and the neighbourhood he grew up and still lives in and the food is amazing. The hawkers( as they are called locally) make the dishes in front of you as requested by Soham so even the panipuri is safe to eat. The onion bashed was to die for and all the dishes exceeded my expectations, food tours don’t come any better I liked it so much I bought the tee shirt !! Thank you so much for making memories Soham Ps Getting sent photos of me stuffing down food at the end was a nice touch

A wonderful evening!

Published on Jan, 2025

Put your feet on the ground and join Soham for an unforgettable experience of a part of Kolkata you won't get on your own. His food/alleyway tour is underpinned by his knowledge, enthusiasm and love of his neighbourhood. When he says you should arrive hungry he wasn't joking. It's a great way to get an insight into a very old part of Kolkata. Highly recommended
