Food Tour In Delhi

What Food Tour In Delhi does

Food Tour In Delhi, operating under the legal entity Solutions Unlimited, is a New Delhi-based culinary tourism company founded in 2011 that curates food walking tours, cooking classes, and related cultural experiences for international tourists visiting Northern India. The company self-positions as the oldest culinary travel operator in India and runs a portfolio of branded products including the multi-city "Golden Samosa Tours" itinerary covering Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi, Khajuraho, and Rajasthan, as well as chef-led walking tours and cooking classes led by named culinary figures such as Chef Rajeev Goyal. Sister brands extend the offering into adjacent experiential verticals: Delhi Bar Crawl, India Photo Tour, and India Food Tour.

The product set spans per-person food walking tours priced between INR 3,500 and INR 14,000, alongside cooking classes, photography tours, pub crawls, shopping tours, and festival-themed tours timed to events such as Holi and Diwali. Distribution is omnichannel: the company sells direct via its own website and lists inventory on third-party OTAs including Viator, TripAdvisor, and ToursByLocals, with 1,000+ five-star reviews cited as the primary social proof asset. There is no disclosed platform technology, no proprietary booking engine beyond a standard direct website, and no mobile app described.

The business model is asset-light experiential tourism with a small team of approximately 7 employees, no external funding disclosed, and a B2C orientation toward individual international travelers rather than institutional or corporate buyers. Revenue is generated on a per-booking transactional basis with no subscription or recurring contract structure; growth has been driven by product line extension, sister-brand diversification, and geographic broadening across Northern India rather than by capital infusion or platform technology.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Broad incumbents

• Viator: TripAdvisor-owned global tours-and-activities marketplace listing Food Tour In Delhi. Comparable as a distribution channel and indirect competitor for tour bookings in Delhi, though it is a horizontal OTA spanning thousands of operators worldwide.
• ToursByLocals: Global private-tour marketplace on which Food Tour In Delhi is listed as a supplier. Comparable in that it connects travelers to vetted local guides across many cities, though it is a broader platform rather than a Delhi-specialist culinary operator.
• Withlocals: Global marketplace for private tours and food experiences hosted by locals. Comparable as a competitor targeting the same international, food-curious traveler with guide-led culinary experiences in Indian cities.
• Thrillophilia: India-focused tours-and-activities marketplace offering food tours, cooking classes, and city experiences across India, including Delhi culinary tours. Comparable as an aggregator competitor for similar customers and SKUs.

Direct peers

• Delhi By Foot: Heritage and food walks operator in Delhi run by trained guides, directly overlapping with Food Tour In Delhi's heritage-walk and street-food-tour offerings to inbound tourists.
• Delhi Food Walks: Direct competitor in Old Delhi and New Delhi food walks, offering guided street-food and market tours to international tourists with a similar chef/guide-led model.
• Reality Tours: India-based impact-focused tour operator running food walks and street-food tours in Mumbai and other cities under a comparable socially-conscious, guide-led culinary tourism model.
• India Food Tour: Closely aligned sister/related brand offering food tours, cooking classes, farm visits, and tasting experiences across multiple Indian cities. Operates the same multi-city Golden Samosa package referenced in Food Tour In Delhi's partner list, with near-identical product mix.

Emerging players

• Leela's Food & Cultural Tours: Boutique India-focused culinary tour operator running chef- and home-dining-led food experiences. Comparable in format (small-group, food-led cultural immersion) though smaller in scale than Food Tour In Delhi.

Regional players

• Agra Food Tour: Listed as a partner brand in Food Tour In Delhi's network and operates the Agra leg of its multi-city tours. Directly comparable product (3–4 hour Agra food walk starting 4:00 PM) but functions as a regional extension rather than head-to-head Delhi competitor.
