Excursion Overview
Whilst Mumbai is a busy, steamy and bustling urban environment during the day, the early mornings reveal a completely different and less frenetic side of the city. Our morning walk starts at sunrise, stopping at the Victoria Terminus station where the city's newspapers are prepared to be delivered to the city and its suburbs. Here's you'll also see milk vendors cycling with their huge canisters of milk and bread being transported to retail outlets throughout the city. The trip continues to the Sassoon Docks, arriving just as the Kohli fisher folk are pulling in their daily catch. These are the original inhabitants of Mumbai's islands; watch them unload their catch and you might see local fish such as the curiously named Bombay Duck. From here the tour continues to the colourful and aromatic wholesale flower market, before ending at the Crawford Market just as the fruit and vegetables arrive. It is estimated that 3000 tones of produce gets traded here every day, You return to the hotel for breakfast and your morning is at leisure. This is a brilliant alternative to more classic tours of Mumbai and ideal for those who are active and a little adventurous.

First time clients of Holiday Architects and what a memorable trip they planned and delivered for us. Lisa and Clare put together 5 weeks of criss-crossing Sri Lanka and Rajasthan in India, whilst their excellent partners on the ground made sure we had the best experience possible. What made it so special were the quirky places we stayed, the unique experiences scheduled just for us and above all the generosity of our drivers and the many guides willing to share their personal insights on local customs and culture. It goes without saying we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holiday Architects if you are planning that special trip and thank you Lisa and Clare, we loved it all!

We recently booked a holiday to India; we were helped all the way by Clare, who put together a wonderful itinerary for us. Whilst in India, we were really well supported by the local team. Our driver was fabulous and really looked after us. India is a truly amazing country with so much rich history, culture, wildlife and scenery. Above this, the people we met were friendly, interesting and interested, and a joy to meet. Thank you for a truly memorable trip.
