Mumbai Spice Markets and Bazaars Tour with Guide and Transport

What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Chor Bazaar, Mohammed Ali Rd Pydhonie, Mumbai India
Chor Bazaar’s literal translation is the Thieves Market, although, it was born on the premise of ‘Shor’ Bazaar, which meant a noisy market. It was named so, because it was used to house mechanics and their repair garages.
For the collector there is aplenty – Furniture from the Raj, rare electronics like vintage gramophones, out-of-print LPs, hand-made film posters time – It’s not uncommon to find a genuine antique here.

Stop At: Lalbaug Spice Market, Dr. Ambedkar Road Lalbaug East, Mumbai 400053 India
Guntur, Bedki, Reshampatti or Kashmiri; no we are not planning a travel itinerary. These are the names of the variety of chilies one would find in the lalbaug spice market. This market is also home to spice mixes so authentic, which the pickiest grandma would approve.

We also did the British colonial heritage walk. Both of these tours were done with Krupesh as our guide. The spice market was unique and we got to learn more about Indian spices and how they are purchased and ground. The Thieves Market was a lively experience. Even if you have seen other markets in India, these are different enough to be worthwhile. The Heritage walk was an interesting way to fill in some free time in Mumbai. Krupesh was an excellent guide. He was very friendly, his English was top-notch and he went out of his way to be flexible and adapt to fit around other experiences we had had and to avoid duplication. We would recommend that anyone looking for a tour in Mumbai ask for Krupesh as a guide.A fascinating experience! Our guide, Adi Pai, was terrific — knowledgeable, introduced us to shopkeepers who told us more and gave us fair prices, and even followed up with links to websites with recipes, etc. You’ll love this tour of Mumbai markets that many visitors don’t get to see.

The tour was so beautiful! Disha was super kind and took care of us from start to finish. While in the car she explained a bit the history of Mumbai and its commercial origins. We went to see the spice market in the morning and walked some beautiful little streets. Then we went to see the main station, and then the Gateway of India. We then had a super nice afternoon tea at the Taj. Disha told us a really lovely poem in front of the former Mumbai yacht club, and taught us some words in local language. Thank you Disha! Hope to see you soon again :)Such a resplendent evening. True immersion in an authentic family Diwali celebration. They welcomed us with open arms and gracious hospitality.

Such a resplendent evening. True immersion in an authentic family Diwali celebration. They welcomed us with open arms and gracious hospitality. Not to mention tasty treats, history stories, hands-on Rangoli creation. And actual participation in the traditional offerings and blessings. A night to remember, that we will never forget!
