(Reviews for the walking tour from CST to Crawford Market)
I could never
imagine that the busy roads on which we walk daily had minute historical
details. We completely overlooked them. Making a visit to these heritage
places has increased my love for history. For me, it was like one-step closer
to heaven!

The visit to the Heras Museum in St. Xavier's College was
fascinating; the statues and stone carvings were so mesmerising! Looking at the
Lokmanya Tilak house, the well-known author Rudyard Kipling's home, the canon
weapon, the Elphistone College and the 38 steps were so intimidating! The
Crawford market main gate and the three fountains within it were carved so
intricately with all the animals on it. Feeling so great after knowing and
seeing all this places.

Who knows that a
small round shaped iron, half buried in the ground could be a canon? Or who
observes that a busy market of Crawford has a gate of historical significance?
Well, no one but the people who have a craving for history and especially
history of Mumbai. Mumbai's history is worth exploring, to know your city
better, something existing since 19th century can be felt and learned in 21st
century.

The entire walk was an enlightening experience and by the
end of it my mind said , “Who said that history is boring?” This is just the
beginning of a new journey meant to explore the unsung and ignored heritage,
which is a treat to the minds of history lovers!
