Gunmen opened fire at sites including a train station, two five-star hotels, a hospital and a restaurant popular with tourists.
At least two blasts, suspected to be grenade attacks, were reported alongside the shootings. Police said the gunmen had fired indiscriminately.
Mr Butler told BBC News: "We suddenly heard the crack-crack-crack and we looked up expecting fireworks but then other people said 'no you can't go back that way'. We couldn't go back to our taxi.
"Obviously the panic started and we managed to get into a taxi but you'd go down one road, it would close off, you'd go down another road, it was pandemonium."
There has been a wave of bombings in Indian cities in recent months which has left scores of people dead.
