Great tour! Our guide Thomson took us around and shared some really interesting information and history of Fort Cochin and nearby areas. It was a day well spent.

An absolutely fantastic tour. Biju is was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. Kochu is a gem in the crown of Kerala, and Biju really brings to history or the city to life. A must do experience.

Biju was a great guide. I wanted to do a tour which covered Fort Kochi and that’s exactly what we got. He was very knowledge about the history of Kochi and answered any questions I had. The mix of walking and travelling in a Tuk Tuk was also great to get of the heat. I would 100% recommend this tour to anybody!

Our guide Biju gave us an interesting tour of Fort Kochi. He was very knowledgeable and it was fascinating to learn the history and see the old colonial buildings. The tour was mainly walking but also included taking a tuk tuk for part of it which gave a welcome relief to sit. We saw places we would not have seen independently or by a tuk tuk tour, and were given a good insight into the history by Biju who had excellent English.

I have had the great fortune to travel frequently for work and leisure over many years. One of my favourite activities when I have time is to go on walking tours with local guides. Quite simply this was the BEST walking tour I have ever had the pleasure to join. Biju is really friendly and welcoming he took time to get to know us ( my daughter and myself) and determine what our interests were. I had been to Kochi before and felt I knew the city well but boy was I pleasantly surprised! We had the most interesting tour and Biju really be the history alive from the Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial periods. We visited the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets, the British Gaol, Dhoby Ghaut ( laundry) a candle making factory a spice trading warehouse and a perfumery and incense manufacturer. You could tell everyone we visited had the utmost respect and admiration for Biju and at no point ( unlike other tours I have taken ) did we ever feel under pressure to buy anything. One of the real highlights was a visit to the Paradesi Synagogue which was founded in 1568. Biju was a real pleasure to spend time with. At the end of the three hour tour my daughter and I both said it felt like we had known him for many years. There are others in Kochi offering walking tours - don’t bother even thinking of booking with them it would be impossible for any tour to be as exceptional as the one with Biju
