Mumbai Street Food Tour

The Mumbai street food tour was amazing. The route we took on the tour was great and it allowed us to see different parts of Mumbai. My guide was Janna and he was awesome. He made sure we were always comfortable and safe during the tour, the information that he shared with us was so interesting and informative and the foods we ate were delicious! We ate a variety of different street foods and really indulged. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mumbai.

Very good
Only one thing you must be aware that’s if your Clint’s are up for walking
This did not affect us but Could affect others
Guide was brilliant lots of food and very knowledgeable

I will separate to 4 portions

1) Backend Office
Never even contacted us to give us the details for the food tour (only received confirmation from TripAdvisor). We found our guide's name from another tour guide from a different company we did earlier that same day. At almost 3 pm, we still didn't hear anything from the food tour company, and our city tour guide asked if he could call on our behalf to get the information, which he did.

2) Food and Places
> We never go an actual meal. They only fed us with cheap snacks at only a few stops. The main stop was the first one where we got a couple of snacks at a dirty beach, sitting on the ground, watching rats run around. We asked if we would get a full meal? She said yes! In the end, "NO MEAL" I added all the photos of what we ate that day, and you will see it's only snacks.
> Some of the food portions you had to share with your partner without being asked if that was ok. Some of the food you had your own portions. We only got one meat option the entire time, and we had to share, so there wasn't enough for us.
> I would say it would be way too expensive when you compared what you paid for and what you got.

3) Tour Guide
> Her English was just ok, but most of the time, it was hard to hear her voice and understand her. The streets in Mumbai are very loud, and her energy was not enough to control the whole group in that environment. We had only 6 people, but that was still too much for her.
> When she gave us the food, she said the name but rarely said how to eat it, where it came from in India, its history, or what time of day you eat it? If we wanted this information we had to ask for it.
> She was training 2 new guides that night but didn't do anything to help them learn. She ignored them and didn't show any leadership or knowledge that would help them being good guides. We ended up just hanging around them because they at least had energy and were willing to tell us about the food we were eating.
> HUGE MISTAKE!!! She never, not once, asked if anybody had "Food Allergies"!?!?! She never asked if there were things you don't or won't eat . This is big NO NO for food tours. Someone would have gotten sick or died because she didn't ask for this information. It's her job to make sure everybody was eating safely.
> She never gave us the details of the itinerary, so we never knew until we arrived where we were going or how we were getting there, except when we started on the train.
> She never asked if anyone had mobility issues. The first stop required sitting on the ground for a long period, people with mobility issues couldn't do this and would have had to stand for 45 minutes.
> The total tour took about 5 hours, but what we learned was you needed to be ready to jump/push your way off the train. Nothing about the food.

4) Good part
> We had an exciting experience when we had to jump off from the local train.
> We enjoyed the other people in the group, especially the two trainer girls.

Recommendation :
If you are looking for a Mumbai foor tour, find another company or ask for another tour guide. We do not recommend Sabina. If you are assigned her, call the company and ask to be moved to another tour group.

Wonderful tour led by Javed, 13 dishes to try and a really vibrant trip. Starting at Chowpatty beach, the Pani Puri are superb!

Our guide Raj was very friendly and explained everything clearly.
We ate 15 different kinds of food and by the end of the tour our stomachs were about to burst.So, I think you should reduce the amount of food on each plate to eliminate food waste. We're sorry that we couldn't eat it all. We had an experience we would never have had on our own.I also impressed with this company contributes to Dharavi because the day before, we took a tour of Dhobi Ghat and Dharavi Slam.
Thanks Raj!!

What an amazing tour. Our guide, Janna, was fantastic, meeting us at Churchgate Station, we travel by local train, a great experience, to Chowpatty Beach to sample a great range of street food from the local vendors. We then travelled into the heart of the city experience street food from different cultures that make up this amazing city. To add to our great experience, we happen to be in the city during Ganesh Chaturthi festival which lasts for 10 days. We had the opportunity to witness the local traditions and customs up-close, with the evening streets coming alive with drummers and dancers. Janna, knowledge and help was outstanding. A highlight of our time in Mumbai.

Another great experience with reality tours… go hungry, pace yourself and don’t order too much so there is no waste… at the end we were certainly full, tried all the street food types you see and it was all safe, we did not get sick. It was a great evening

An EXCEPTIONAL street food tour. Everything was delicious and our guide was so knowledgeable. I would do it again tomorrow!
Make sure you have an empty stomach, there is a lot of food to eat!

Most amazing experience!!! I would never try any food like this by myself, but with Raj it was amazing. He was funny, I felt safe and really well taken care of.

Honestly, I was quite skeptical about this tour, and about Indian food in general, but I still decided that I wanted to try something new. We ate various traditional specialties of India and it was really delicious. I am only skeptical that it will be cleaned.

Marine Drive, also called the Queen's Necklace, is one of the most easily recognizable landmarks in Mumbai. This arc-shaped bay-side boulevard lining the Arabian Sea in South Mumbai is arguably the best spot to watch beautiful sunsets and indulge in leisurely walks.

Tons of food, good representation of the diversity of Mumbai street food. All in all very solid time.

Our tour guide, Nano, did a great job of looking after us. We went to three different locations and tried a variety of street food. I recommend turning up hungry! A great night.
The company’s philosophy is fantastic, using 80% of their profits to fund programs they run in Dharavi.

The guide we had was skillfull, but the food was lacking variety.

10-12 vegetarian dishes, only one was meat, a skewer of some dry chicken at the end of the tour. There were also no real exciting challenges to eat, like experienced on other food tours in Asia.

Even if the food was good tasting, there is definitely room for improvement.

Mumbai street foods are best .pav bhaji , pani puri , vada pav are the best .Everyone should try it .

Great tour! Guide was cool and knew his stuff and we ate SO MUCH FOOD (all quite good). I was stuffed after the first couple of stops.

We tried so many different foods while hearing about the history and culture of street food in India! It felt very safe and everything we tried was delicious!
We had Raj as a guide and he was excellent!
