A full stomach and heart! - The tour gives you a unique perspective of Kolkata’s history and the influence of its food culture. With enough options for vegetarian you will surely leave with a big smile and a bigger belly! PS: Skip lunch before the tour!

Wow, wow, wow. Brilliant 4 hour cultural & food tour. of - 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.

A fabulous and tasty experience - 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.

Amazing tour, loved it. - 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.

by watching the tour you feel alive, by tasting the food you live a little of the everyday life of the inhabitants. Nic - 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.

An amazing exportierenence about food and beyond - I did the Alleyway Food Tour with Soham and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my stay in Kolkata. We were shown around in line of the oldest neighbourhoods of Kolkata and Soham had interesting stories to tell about the buildings and connected those stories easily with culture, history and… the next foodstall. Over there he took care everything we tried was prepared with the greatest hygiene possible, explained the dish and then let us try. During the walk he was very aware of our safety and guided us safely through the chaotic traffic of Kolkata. In total we tried 6 savouries and 4 sweet dishes. Glad he recommended us to come hungry as there was plenty of food to delight our tastebuds. As said the tour was magical. There might be Many food tours in Kolkata and I have experienced Manz of them in other cities. The Alleyway Food Tour is without doubt the best of all of them. Entertaining, Informative, safe, hygienic and extremely tasty. I can only highly recommend this tour. Soham is an absolute entertainer who knows what he is talking about. What a fabulous experience!!!! Soham, Dhanyavad!!!!

Do it - The perfect tour for anyone really wanting to try Bengal street food but a bit nervous about it. Let Soham guide you through the insanely narrow alleyways and markets. He oozes pride in the city that has been his family's home for generations. And then there's the food. So delicious and maybe stuff you wouldn't try unless you had a trustworthy local by your side. Two words: Do It.

Come hungry! - Soham is perfect to run this tour! He is friendly, professional, energetic, entertaining and very safety conscious. There was a broad variety of street foods available which a tourist might not ordinarily be game to try, but even better, he tied the food in with fascinating stories of Kolkata and the history of Bengal, as we strolled around his heritage neighbourhood. Well worth it and extremely enjoyable.

Good eats and stories from an expert guide - I signed up for the highly recommended Magic Hour Tour, which was so good that I signed up this Alleyway Food Tour that evening. And Soham did not disappoint! I live in Bangladesh, so I'm already familiar with Bengali food, street food, etc. but Soham has created a tour that even the most experienced travelers will enjoy. Come hungry because he's going to introduce you to the most amazing treats around Old Calcutta, his own childhood stomping ground. Thank you, Soham!

kaleidoscope of flavors - A must to understand the complexity of Calcutta. All the rich flavors of Bengali cuisine compacted into a well-executed tour. We love everything about this tour with Soham. Exceptional guide
