11. Street Food Walks and Market Tours (Old Delhi, Mumbai)

Guided street-food walks focus on safe, flavor-forward choices that let you sample a city’s culinary DNA. In Old Delhi, for example, hosts guide guests through alleyways to sample parathas, chaat, and jalebi, while Mumbai tours highlight vada pav and seafood stalls that locals swear by. Good guides emphasize hygiene-aware choices—busy stalls, fresh-cooked food, and bottled water—so you can enjoy variety without unnecessary risk. Tours usually last two to three hours and include small bites at several stalls, plus tips on spice levels and regional names for dishes. Book morning or early-evening slots to avoid peak heat, and always ask your guide about dietary adaptations if you have allergies. These walks are ideal for curious eaters who want both taste and context. (Source: Times of India street food guides; National Geographic street-food features)
