Criss-crossing narrow lanes, tiny shops spilling with colourful wares, people haggling for a better deal - welcome to the bazaars of India. You can find them everywhere, even juxtaposed against high rises and glitzy malls. The bursting metropolis of Mumbai has many such gems hidden in its folds. Care to try the fiery tears-in-the-eyes signature Indian spice mixes? We begin this tour of Mumbai from the Lalbagh spice market, which is home to an authentic mix of spices which the pickiest grandma would approve.
This offbeat tour of Mumbai would be incomplete without a visit to the once a well-kept secret and reserved only for the adventurous, the notorious Chor Bazaar. Up until recently, this 150 year old Bazaar lived up to its borrowed name, by housing various smuggled goods. 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.

Chor Bazaar, Mumbai, Maharashtra, 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.

We had a wonderful tour. Everything about it went extremely smoothly - timings and transport were perfect. The guide (Pooja) was funny, friendly and very knowledgeable. The markets were extremely interesting - I learned a lot about Mumbai.

We really enjoyed our tour to the Chor Bazaar and Spice Market. Pooja, our guide was great fun and made the tour really relaxed but she was also a fountain of knowledge and gave a great insight into the lives of the people of Mumbai. We are just sad we are not here for longer as we would have loved to have experienced some of the other tours, especially Mumbai by dawn. Highly recommended!

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.
