Wow, wow, wow. We chose this tour as it was focused on both the great culture and food of Kolkata. Soham (the host) lives in and breathes the air of the area of Kolkata where the tour is based. His intimate and historical knowledge of the area and where best to experience great local food was excellent. The tour lasted around 4 hours. Seeing many intimate areas of Kolkata local life whilst tasting around 12 different dishes / drinks. As vegetarians we chose the vegetarian tour. Although there is a non-veg also. If in Kolkata, reach out to Soham. A highly knowledgable and great host. Brilliant tour. Having been in India cities numerous times, this was by far the best food tour we been on by far.
My goodness. Just an absolute 10/10 experience. Soham was everything you could ever ask for in a host. He was kind, knowledgeable and most of all passionate. Just a really cool guy to spend an evening with and the food he took us to enjoy was an absolute treat. We left the tour happy and full. I can't say enough good things about this tour and Soham as a guide/human. It was far and away our favorite part of our time in Kolkata and I would highly recommend it. I cannot stop thinking about the Kuthi rolls specifically. YUM. Thanks so much Soham! We had a blast.
Soham did an amazing job in getting us introduced to the Bengali sweets with his great story telling. If you are looking for a local friend who will help you explore based on his experiences, just go with this tour.
The tour was a unique experience. Soham took us to small quiet hidden streets just behind the mighty hustle and bustle of the road, which I would never have discovered on my own. At the same time, he vividly explained the history, architecture, current conditions of Kolkata. He took us safely to a picturesque busy street with a street of food and small local bars. I tried the food he recommended, along with a comprehensive explanation of the cuisine, the habits of the locals. Tasting it was a unique culinary experience, watching the preparation even more so. A walk through the bazaar, a view from the secret terrace to the market and again through the quiet and narrow streets back to the beginning... the privilege of an excellent guide on a cult tour.
