Tour description
Kolkata is a city best explored through its flavors, and on this walking tour, a local foodie guide will lead you through the markets, food streets, and culinary traditions that shape local life. Instead of architecture, this walk focuses on the tastes, aromas, and stories of everyday meals.

Along the way, your guide will share culinary history and the best local specialties to look for. Delicious and authentic, this is Kolkata through its food.
