Great time, food! - Arina was our guide and she was awesome. We got to try tons of food and she told us a lot about the history of Mumbai and different cultures which attributed to all of the variety of different types of foods that we got to try. I would definitely recommend her and her company. We had a great time and learned lots and we definitely full by the time we were done.

Fantastic food tour in Mumbai - We had a fantastic food tour with Namrata! Everything we tried was so delicious, there was so much variety, and so much food. Namrata made sure that the venues were safe. We saw a lot of the city and the pick up at the hotel was perfect. Thank you for a great evening!

Excellent eating tour in Mumbai with Arina - We arrived in Mumbai that morning & wanted a tour that collected us from the hotel so we didn’t have to arrange transportation to a starting point being unfamiliar with the city. Arina was in reception before our arrival time. Excellent communication before we met.
Our driver arrived shortly afterwards. Arina explains this is a carb heavy tour of the local street foods & we could share it between us & not feel obliged to eat it all as we would be trying about 10 different dish’s. Arina went above and beyond explaining everything we needed to know. Took us to many different locations to try different foods. Explaining everything as we went as she is passionate about food.
Arina also gave us lots of information to help us with our onward journey through India & has kept in touch after our tour. We couldn’t recommend Arina enough. Excellent tour, excellent guide. We can’t recommend Arina enough. Her English is excellent. Thank you

Mumbai Street found tour - An excellent introduction to the street food scene in Mumbai, our guide Meherban introduced us to a wide range of foods from the area, many invented in Mumbai. He also gave us the history behind a number of foods and eateries. So good we went back for lunch the following day! Just one word of advice, don’t eat lunch! Fantastic food and a great guide!

The best street food your in the world. - We loved the food, the stories and the guide KP. Mumbai came alive with Kupesh. He was so informative about the history of food and politics in India. It’s our second time and it was great.

Mumbai mezze! - Outstanding. I think our guide couldn’t believe his luck when he heard we both liked ‘spicey’!! What a treat from beginning to end and we even saw how some things were made so can now try at home. Best food tour of our whole trip in India.
KP our guide is ‘intuitive’ he reads people and as a result we had an evening of laughter and some of the best food. We booked the tour having already do the Mumbai at dawn trip with him and enjoyed his company so much, had to book another! He actually cancelled his evening plans to be able to do this tour with us! What a great guy!

A real taste of Mumbai - Had the most amazing food tour with KP. Saw lots of Mumbai and heard lots of its stories. What a place and what amazing food. KP was a great guide really understanding what we liked and tailored it to us. Finishing with ice cream on the beach was outstanding. We’ve been back to Mumbai and looked out some of the places since they were that good.

Great Khau Gully street food tour - Amazing puris were the start of our street food odyssey with Tvishi. We shared 5 flavoured puris with 2 vegetable curries and aamras. Mangoes are in season right now and their pulp makes aamras, a delicious antidote to the spicy veg curries. Tvishi did the queuing for us at Aram vada pav. Vada pav is Mumbai in a napkin. A spicy potato croquette in a bread bun with fiery red and green chutneys. Along the way, Tvishi told us the history of the immigrants who brought their cuisines to.Mumbai including the Parsis who set up their cafes. We tasted a range of foods from north to south of the country and finished with a cooling kulfi. Our driver, Dharamveer was great too. Thanks to both of you for making our first night in Mumbai unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour with Tvishi.

A must-do in Mumbai - Fantastic taste of Mumbai - our guide Pooja was friendly and knowledgeable, talking us through the history of the places we visited and the origins of the dishes we tried. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and it was a fun way to spend an evening (be sure to arrive ravenous!)

Great food tour - Really great tour. There were quite a few variations on bread and potatoes. I think if one of the bread and potato options was swapped out for something different, the tour would have been perfect. Our guide Arina was amazing. She gave us some excellent recommendations for the rest of our stay in Mumbai and we learnt a lot from her as well.
