    Don't miss this tour!

    This was a fantastic tour with Dinesh. Not just for food, Dinesh and his driver took us all over the city stopping at all the main sites and even some we didn't know about! The foodie stops were all really good with delicious local food. Dinesh gave great explanations of the foods we ate and each stop we visited. The taxi van we travelled in was very clean, air conditioned and comfortable. This was a great day and a perfect way to see Mumbai and try local foods. We were still full when we reboarded our cruise ship and skipped a full dinner. Thank you Dinesh for showing us your city.

    Amazing!

    Just did the 3.5 hour culinary delights tour. Just the 2 of us with a guide and driver. The guide Alan, was a really good guide and a credit to his company. We visited various food establishments tasting a variety of local cuisine. All of which were really good and vastly superior to most of the Indian food you get at home. We travelled round the city and also saw where they make a lot of the spices. Looking forward to using some when we get home. All in all an excellent day thanks to Amaze and Alan.

    Tasty

    We were met by our guide just outside the terminal "green gate". There were only 4 of us in the group and we had a van to ourselves. In addition we were taken to the city's major sights as well as some small local eating spots. We started with breakfast of dosa masala. We had snacks and more snacks followed by lunch in a Parsi restaurant and desserts which we opted to take back to the ship with us as we were too full to really enjoy them. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and offered us information on how to get to our next day's itinerary on our own. We enjoyed to tour very much.

    A delight from start to finish

    We booked this trip via ShoreFox, cruise trip agent. We got full details of where to meet our guide plus time well in advance of our departure which was very reassuring. Our guide Leroy, was right on time and we set off in a taxi right away. We had been advised to eat a very light breakfast as we would be tasting a lot. Well, we had no breakfast and were glad we came on this trip hungry! First stop was Madras cafe for a southern Indian breakfast. If we had been on our own we would have walked right past, but we would have missed a great taste of India. Dosa with curry sauce and coconut chutney, Medura savoury doughnut. Really tasty. Leroy was a chef so was able to tell us all about cooking methods, spices as well as tourist highlights. We spent a short time at India Gate, the beautiful railway station then Crawford mafket. Leroy took us round the stalls and helped us buy spices too. The market was fantastic, it was the start of mango season, late March, and the aroma of mangoes was delightful. Wish we could have taken some back on board! Next taste sensation was at Jimmy Boy, a Parsi Zoroastrian restaurant. Patrani machi was the most delicious pomphret fish cooked in a banana leaf. It just fell off the bones and the coriander leaf paste on top was perfect. An accompaniment of pilau rice with nuts and berries was fantastic too I’m running out of superlatives to describe this excellent excursion. The food kept coming! Delhi Darbar at Colaba Causeway was where’s we had a meat course. Lamb samosas and chicken kadhai. I don’t like lamb but I couldn’t get enough of the samosas. So much better than the skimpy offerings at home, these were stuffed full of spiced, minced lamb in a very thin and crispy pastry coating. All drinks are included, we mostly stuck to bottled water. The tea we tried was not really to our taste, too sweet and milky, but fun to try. We thought we were finished eating, but we were taken to a traditional sweet shop to buy some treats, no idea what they were, very sweet and yummy. Leroy wanted us to try more but we were stuffed by then! For $113 we had booked a 3 hour trip. We were out for 4 hours. What a fabulous trip and one that we would highly recommend to both cruise passengers or visitors to Mumbai. Amaze tours lived up to their name and Leroy was the best guide. Big thank you Leroy.

    Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 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 Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour 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 Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mumbai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour?

    +

    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 Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour 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 Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour 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 Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour?

    +

    Included: Light refreshments; Bottled water; Snacks; Lunch; and Breakfast. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Mumbai.

    What languages is Shore Excursion: An Indian Culinary Delight Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
