Much nicer destination. How you would expect Mumbai to be. Very busy city. We visited 3 markets. Really enjoyed our 4 hour excursion. Guide was very good.

Beautiful city and buildings. Amazing architecture. The biz of this place was totally different from the others. Be prepared if you go walking as there are beggars and they are usually kids. On leaving the ship you are harassed by taxi guys wanting to take you around and can get quite aggressive if you say no. We walked into town and visited the gates of India. This is about 1.5 miles over busy roads etc. And the traffic is something else. Lots of horns tooting but no road rage. Visited the museum that cost 2200 rupees. Paid on credit card which worked out at £24 for 4 people. Again we were asked for selfies by the locals.

This was the best place we visited (other than Dubai) on our cruise. It had something for everyone. We negotiated a driver who took us to major sites of interest to us in 5 hours for a cost of $50 USD. I would like to go back to this city again as the time he had was way to short.

We loved Mumbai/Bombay and booked a private 2 day tour at this port with ‘Mumbai Moments’. The tour operator, Amish, is refreshingly honest. His driver and guide took us to all the usual tourist spots and quite a bit more. Not the cheapest but comprehensive and truly enjoyable.
