    Great tour and food!

    Really nice tour with several delicious tastings and interesting places. An extra bonus with the train trip. The guide was calm, nice and very informative. Some local beverages could have been added to make the tour even more enjoyable.

    Fabulous experience for the curious traveller

    This was an unforgettable experience. Our guide Sunil was extremely engaging and knowledgeable and he took us into a world we would not have had access to without him. Each place we visited was fascinating and the food delicious, complex, incredible…

    Sunil was friendly and helpful. His English was excellent and was willing to help and answer questions, not just relating to the tour.

    Book it!

    I wasn't planning to book any tours while in Mumbai, but this company and their impressive reviews jumped out at me. I had been nervous about eating local food due to having chrohn's disease. Our tour guide, Vrushali, did an amazing job of looking after us and answering all the many questions we had, while also informing us about the sites and foods we were exploring. What jumped out to me was the relationships Vrushali had everywhere we went and how that affected our experience. I will be looking both her and the company up again in the future. It's a lovely way to see the city, expand your food choices and meet new people!

    Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mumbai.

    How much does Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mumbai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mumbai is not rushed.

    Is Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 304 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Mumbai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings?

    +

    Around 106 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mumbai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mumbai and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mumbai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mumbai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mumbai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Group Guided Walking Tour in Fort and Colaba, Elephanta Caves & Island Guided Private Tour, Dharavi Slum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mumbai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mumbai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings?

    Is Bombay Express Mumbai Food Tour with 15+ Tastings wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
